Greek is the most beautiful language !!!!!

Very well done video. I never imagined greek pronunciation was so easy for spanish speakers as myself.
One thing I can not fully grasp yet is the difference between the gamma sound and double gamma/gamma kappa sound. I know the latter is like the Spanish "g" but i'm not sure if I'm prononcing the single gamma right.
Also, I noticed sometimes the single gamma sounds like in an english "g" as in "george" Thanks for the video! :)

You should find it easy the sounds are basically the same.
Most spanish people I've met that speek greek have a very subtle accent.
γγ and γκ is the sound of g in (G)recia
γ on its own is sth between y in (y)o and the second g in grie(g)o.
it never is g as in george. you get g when you put τ and ζ next to each other, not a very common sound in greek.

Great voice and accent. Very clear.

In future videos, it would be helpful if you said it at normal speed first and then slowed it way down the 2nd time. Thanks!

Can't believe I pronounced it al correctly O_O" ^W^
why is it that most of the vowels (single and combined) sound the same?
how do you know which to use, specifically omega/omicron?

Well, that's the big trick! In ancient Greek each of these letters or combinations, had a specific accent or reason of existence. Now you just have to remember which goes where. Especially for ω , it's very helpfull to know that is is always used as the last letter in verbs, πχ πηγαίνω, έχω, δίνω κλπ. Never "ο" there.
