Hi everybody,

I have been to Greece and the pronounciation of the letters is mostly different from America.
Unfortunately, I don't know how to write it down phonetically but I am not sure if it really matters. Hey, you guys are in America and I don't see anything wrong pronouncing it in English.
One thing, however, that sounds surprising to me is that you say that "X" is pronounced "Zee". From street signs in Greece I learned that "X" stands for Chi and "Z"= zeta for Zee. There is in addition the Xzee (like in taxi) which I am unable to type here on my keyboard - are you all referring to that letter??
