Talking Re: Greek Alphabet

As far as tips go, I don't really have any. Our new member educator had a song that helped us learn it. Beyond that my advice: memorize, memorize, memorize.

Knowing the pronunciations helps.

The names and pronunciations are given below. The pronunciations vary in certain parts of the country. Check out the URL below to see all the symbols. I am unable to provide you with some of them as they are unavailable on a standard keyboard.
