Το Ελληνικό Αλφάβητο - The Greek Alphabet


Lesson 1 - Greek Grammar
You are looking at the first Greek grammar lesson "the Greek Alphabet".
Make sure you learn the sound of each letter and learn how to write it. We have included
audio of the name of the letter and an example of a Greek word to avoid any confusion among
regional accents (i.e. English, American, Australian...).
When you think you've mastered it, go ahead and click the link for Lesson 2, which will teach
you the double letters.
