Learn the Greek Alphabet - The Greek Letters kappa, lambda, and mu

Of these three Greek letters, two are exactly what they appear to be. The "Kappa" is a "k", and the "Mu" is "m".

But in the middle, we have a bottomless "delta" or inverted "v". It's "lambda" for "l". Again, mentally turning the v on its side may bring it a little close to an "L" shape.

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

You can also practice on some real Greek roadsigns.
