How to Translate English to Greek With Sound Pronunciation

Learning to read Greek text can be a challenge for Latin alphabet users because the script is different. After you learn the Greek alphabet you may recognize words but still wonder about the correct pronunciation as you read. You can transliterate Greek words manually using a print dictionary, or, with the help of electronic translation tools. The process may be slow at first, but with practice you will learn to recognize and pronounce Greek words in ancient texts, such as the original New Testament, other seminal philosophical writings and in modern reading materials.
