Follow the instructions to learn the pronunciation of the Greek alphabet, and it will have you speaking in different rhythms, in a variety of dialects, including Texas! - Even singing.
It includes pictures of the letters of the Greek alphabet and plenty of opportunities to identify the many Greek words that have "cousins" in English. In addition to learning to count to twenty, you can read the first few lines of the Homer saga, some well-known philosophical sayings, and much more, and learn a bit of history along the way.
