Hi Louis and Mark -
 
Great set of videos! I did find the subtitles distracting at first; I preferred 
to listen and watch. Without the subtitles you are forced to figure out what is 
said, however, the subtitles were helpful when I couldn't process a word because 
of pronunciations. (Modern vs. Erasmian). So it was nice to have the subtitles 
to go back to and see what the word was; it saves one time. After all, it is 
real easy to cover the subtitles up when one begins, but still have them there 
later for reference if needed.  Thanks again for these videos and the early one 
Mark and you made together concerning family, faith, and football!
 
Cordially,
Blue Harris

Subject: [B-Greek] Learning Greek by Storytelling Video


Hello all,

You may have seen Mark Lightman's video of Μαρκος και Λεωνιδας (ΜΑΡΚΟΣ ΚΑΙ 
ΛΕΩΝΙΔΑΣ) talking in Greek at the Denver Airport.  The following contains links 
to three videos on YouTube where I try to tell Mark a story via the TPRS method 
(Teaching Proficiency Through Storytelling). My accents are not always quite 
right, and I made a few guesses at words I did not have a solid handle on -- but 
I was totally unprepared for this story -- stories in storytelling are meant to 
be a little improptu -- they don't stick to just a single line or set of words. 
But take a look at the video and see if you cannot learn a little and then give 
me some feedback. 


Remote learning misses the feedback that a live audience gives and which is 
essential for a teacher. This is the biggest challenge to overcome via this 
method. But when you watch video, you can go back and play it again, which is 
what you cannot do in an unrecorded live class.

TI FRONEIS?
