What is the best way to practice the alphabet ? As a beginner in studying the Greek language, I feel that the first milestone that I'll have to reach is to become able to (easily) know how a new written word should be pronounced . Just staring at the alphabet doesn't really help ;) The online resources are usually written for English native speakers (with explanations like θελω = theh-loh, μου = moo instead of thelo / mu). This kind of resources are not helping at all . Something that for me works a bit is to listen to songs while trying to read the lyrics . But it's tedious to find the songs and the lyrics. If there are people who have already managed to master the alphabet, would you care to share your experience about how you've practiced it ?
