[B-Greek] visual aids for Greek pronunciation

I teach NT Greek online as well as introducing students in online 
Bible courses to a little bit of Greek and/or Hebrew as appropriate 
to the course.  I use audio CDs that I record myself to teach the 
Erasmian pronunciation to teach the alphabet and offer words, phrases 
and eventually whole biblical passages for students to read along and 
practice "sounding out."

One of my students just posted this comment in our online "Language 
Lab" discussion:

"I am enjoying your approach and CD, however, I wish I could watch 
your face as the various words are being pronounced. I often have a 
hard time "hearing" the CD, especially the full selection reading 
sessions. The old adage is very true for me, "Its, Greek to me." HA! 
Please, this is no fault of you or the program; only my problem due 
to partial hearing loss and "stubbornness to succumb" to a hearing 
aid, I guess?"

Is anyone aware of a web page, textbook, or other resource that might 
have facial illustrations of at least the alphabet and some sample 
words being pronounced?  Or video that can be downloaded?  This 
particular student connects to the internet via a dialup line, so 
streaming video wouldn't be an option.

Any leads would be greatly appreciated.  I hadn't considered the 
diminished usefulness of audio recordings for hearing-impaired students.

Thanks!
