I learned reconstructed Classical but since Greek is a living language, I can appreciate the case for modern pronunciation. Just a slight bummer that the vowel sounds are more limited

I switched biblingo to reconstructed but its way harder at this point to try to learn than erasmian 😬 so Im going back to erasmian. Ultimately ill mostly be reading and not speaking and not listening much so... Maybe if I ever become fluent reading then Ill try to learn a new pronunciation.

Like, I know you’re not learning it, but Homer, for instance, gloriously sings in reconstructed. If most vowels were reduced to “ee” it wouldn’t ring the same
