Rhythm & Cadence

Greek has natural stress accent. Hearing and internalising the word rhythms builds powerful auditory memory. Read aloud — loudly.

Slow Fast

Read Aloud — Phrase by Phrase

The animation keeps a steady pace — use it to prevent the common habit of slowing down on unfamiliar words. In natural reading, pause briefly between phrases.

πάν-το-τε    τὴν    νέ-κρω-σιν    τοῦ    Ἰ-η-σοῦ |
ἐν    τῷ    σώ-μα-τι    πε-ρι-φέ-ρον-τες, |
ἵ-να    καὶ    ἡ    ζω-ή    τοῦ    Ἰ-η-σοῦ |
ἐν    τῷ    σώ-μα-τι    ἡ-μῶν    φα-νε-ρω-θῇ

Bold gold syllables = stress accent.
| = pause here.
Read slowly and rhythmically, exaggerating the stressed syllable.

Technique: Clap or tap the stressed syllables as you read aloud.
