Building blocks: Alphabet

One of the first things to do is get the foundation of the language. The alphabet.

Some letters have English equivalents, but many of the letters use different symbols and are in a different order.

I've printed the image under 'Greek alphabet - Modern pronunciation' on this site:

and keep it with me to practise the order of the alphabet.

I also play this over and over to get the pronunciation.

Practise reciting the names of the letters and their sounds as well as writing them.

Recognise and also practise hand-written letters as these can look quite different the type.
