[B-Greek] The best audio GNT you can find -- just a suggestion

Dear Friends,
I have been thinking for some time about suggesting that the best audio
files of the GNT you could find would be the ones you make for yourself,
using whatever pronunciation you are accustomed to. When you have
achieved a satisfactory level of understanding by listening to yourself,
the next step would be to listen to someone else and after that, another
reader.
In listening to myself and Zodhiates and Maurice Robinson, I've noticed
that apart from pronunciation, the way a person emphasizes one word or
phrase over another in a sentence can make a difference in the
listener's understanding of the sentence. I think the ultimate goal in
learning biblical Greek is to understand WHAT the GNT says. That's why
I would recommend listening to yourself first, then others -- as many
others as you can find.
When I made my recordings, I used Gold Wave, which is not very expensive
and has numerous tools you can use to remove background noises or the
sound of a lawn mower going past, etc.
