Despite my reservations about the Erasmian pronunciation, I am a big fan of @Alpha with Angela , an Ancient Greek video course. You can see their first episode here: https://youtu.be/gLe1GhR5l0E

I am dubbing these in Lucian pronunciation so they can be more easily used with other Lucian resources such as ScorpioMartianus' Ancient Greek in Action series. Check out Ancient Greek in Action here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLU1WuLg45Six4gYLaBrTAIvfjXWKJ1EkN

The Lucian pronunciation is a historical reconstruction of Ancient Greek phonology from the time of the Roman Empire that preserves pitch accent and syllable quantity. For more information about Lucian Koine pronunciation and its historicity, click here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dt9z5Gvp3MM

I want to convey my utmost respect to anyone who learns or teaches Ancient Greek, no matter what pronunciation scheme they use, even if it is Erasmian. Currently it is very difficult to find any good spoken resources of Ancient Greek at all, so I am very thankful that even an Erasmian spoken course is being made. 

I'm hoping these voice-overs help illuminate the beauty of historical koine pronunciation schemes, and gives everyone a greater appreciation of the Greek language.
