Learn the Next Three Letters of the Greek Alphabet

In this group, the letter "delta" looks like a triangle - the delta formed by rivers and familiar from geography class. If you need help in remembering it, try mentally turning it on its side. Presto! It looks like a "D" - but pronounce it as more of a hard "th" sound.

"Epsilon" is a simple one. One might even say that it's too EE-zy. But some similar letters later one may fool you, so enjoy this one that looks the same, sounds the same, and really IS the same. It is pronounced "eh" as in "pet"

"Zeta" is a surprise so early in the list of letters, since we're used to seeing "Z" at the end of our alphabet.

Go on to the next three letters of the Greek alphabet.

You can also practice on some real Greek roadsigns.
