My "composition:" http://youtu.be/ApnRljiVgys
This is *not* extemporaneous -- I prepared first, and used answer key. But for this video, I do not have the key in front of me, and am working from the English, translating as I go.
Responses (video responses?) much appreciated. Even if you are only up to correcting me by reading (or copying) straight from the answer key, I would love that!
Comments on accents, pronunciation, etc., also appreciated.

Ex. 1 from First Greek Writer (video)
“One might get one’s Greek from the very lips of Homer and Plato." "In which case they would certainly plough you for the Little-go. The German scholars have improved Greek so much.”

I like the video very much because it is so comprehensible. The fact that you are slowly translating as you go from the English makes it much easier to understand than if you had just read the finished product. The use of visuals also helps in comprehension. I understood 100% of it after a few views. Very helpful to have such comprehensible input in Ancient Greek. I like your videos of the Anabasis as well.

I look forward to more of your videos.

I understood 100% of what you said after watching both videos one or two times. thanks.
I've frankly never understood evaluating spoken Ancient Greek on any other basis THAN comprehensibility.
