Daniel:
Thank you for your charitable approach -- I was too telegraphic in my 
reply; I meant to add that there were _pronunciation_ tutorials ( and 
practices ) side by side withe the ones for accentuation..

And, yes, for someone who announced that  " I am teaching myself Biblical 
Greek " I thought a general caveat might be appropriate for a page which 
announces itself as a tutorial in Attic Greek.
