Λούκιος τοῖς φίλοις χαίρειν!

Hello, my dear friends and supporters! Having been asked many times how to render pitch accent, I have made this video to help explain what it is I do when I recite Ancient Greek.

This video is Unlisted on YouTube, which means my regular subscribers won't receive a notification of its having been published, so the only people that can access it will be those with this link ( https://youtu.be/v6Fj8gdjsNs ). The reason for not making it public is that it's very rough; I'm just talking to the camera about a variety of subjects pertaining to pitch accent and ancient pronunciation. That said, you may share it with whomever you like.

Eventually I will make a more formal video that will be public, which will summarize the points I make here in a concise and clear format. Still, I hope you find this helpful in the meantime.

Please feel free to add your comments and questions here below this post! You can also write comments on the video itself, which will be best for me to respond to them. Also you can join my Discord channel ( https://discord.gg/u4PN2u2 ) where you can discuss the topic with others in great detail. This will help me to refine the discussion for a future public audience.

Thanks for watching and writing your comments and questions!
