Susan:
I in fact did exactly what you are proposing to do the last time I taught a NT Greek class,
using Croy's text. In the middle of the course they came out with the edition with the CD
with quizzes and answer keys.
It was at an Orthodox Church (OCA - i.e., Russian links, not Greek, but I had one Greek
Orthodox Church member in my class), so since I'd been learning the prayers, etc., using
the Modern Greek pronunciation, it was easy for me to teach using both Modern Greek
(i.e., what Caragounis calls the Historical Greek Pronunciation) and Erasmian, though I
primarily encouraged Randall Buth's Phonemic Koinê pronunciation. I created a chart
comparing the three (my first versions were not quite correct, but I think this one now is).
Feel free to use anything here:

including my chart comparing the pronunciations, and my front-and-back printable
flashcards for learning the same. You will need to download and install the free
TekniaGreek font (Bill Mounce) - there is a link to it on my Webpage; here is the latest link:
