Randall has said elsewhere that you cannot really claim to know Ancient Greek
well unless you can understand an unfamiliar passage read aloud at a normal
speed.
Motivating challenges like this are the most helpful of all teaching tools.
If you want to test your ability to understand spoken Greek you can watch this
video

and see if you can understand it and identify it. It is a fairly famous Koine
passage but
it is not from the Greek NT.
I posted this on several other forums and no one has gotten it yet.

Randall Buth has a discussion of the above topic in a blog entry dated
yesterday, August 7 on the site "Alef and Omega":
http://alefandomega.blogspot.com/2010/08/listening-for-reading.html
I think some may find it a helpful discussion even if they are unwilling to go
along
with Randall's "one-track" urgency of a conversational focus in Koine Greek
pedagogy.
