Greek letters equivilant to English
 

.

here are the ones I think to know,but please correct me if I am wrong:
alpha = a
beta = b
gamma = g
delta = like a soft th like in "the"
epsilon = e
sigma = soft s
mu = m
nu = n
upsilon = u or y
omega = long o
omicron = short o
chi = throaty "ch"
xi = x like in taxi
theta = th like in "path"
iota = one form of i but I think there are four more
phi = f
pi = p
kappa = k
lambda = l

I can't come up with more at the moment, sorry

To answer your question, Jen, there is no equivalent letter of "J" in the Greek alphabet. To get a similar "J" sound, you would start with a tau and then a sigma. For Jennifer, it would most likely be spelled: tau, sigma, epsilon, nu, iota, phi, epsilon, rho.

The four types of the "I" sound can be made by epsilon, eta, iota and sometimes upsilon.
