[B-Greek] Pronunciation rules

In a word, it would be better.  :-D

I have not listened to every bit of Zodhiates' recording but what I have 
heard struck me as almost as strange as an Erasmian recording.  He uses 
a modern pronunciation, but he doesn't seem to be speaking with the 
natural...rythm...of...the...l-a-n-g-u-a-g-e.  A couple of people I know 
came to the same conclusion on their own before hearing my opinion.  I 
do not understand why he reads in this fasion, and one of my friends 
owns the entire recording and says what I heard is no exception.  Also 
the voice acting isn't done very well.  I think there is room for a 
better recording and maybe we'll get one!

I heard a rumour that Zodhiates has a second set of recordings designed 
for native speakers, as though the set you usually hear about is 
designed for ZENOI, but I hadn't been able to confirm that or get my 
hands on this other set.
