Greek Syllables and Stress Quiz

Make sure you read carefully the information about finding the number of syllables in a Greek word. There is a lot of material at the website which is not included in Croy, but don't forget to read through Croy as well (Lesson 1 section 4).

You should also take the Practice Test, identifying the number of syllables and the word stress in these Greek names. Those are the kinds of questions you will be asked on the Quiz.
