Using the cards
Each card shows a letter in both forms, capital and small, so Λ λ asks for lambda. Name → letter turns it round, and you say the letter to yourself before you turn the card. Typing Greek on an English keyboard is slow, so that way round has buttons only.
Letter → Latin letters asks how the letter is written in English letters under ELOT 743, the system on Greek passports. θ is th, χ is ch and ψ is ps. Both η and ι come out as i, and ο and ω both as o.
Which picks all 24 letters or one half. Open Pick letters one by one to drill the few you keep getting wrong.
The ones people mix up
Several capitals look like Latin letters but aren't the same letter. Η is eta, Ρ is rho, Χ is chi and Υ is upsilon. Small ν is nu, though it looks like a v, and small η is eta, not an n.
Sigma has two small forms. σ is written inside a word and ς at the end, so the cards show Σ σ ς together.
The names follow the spelling in the table on the Greek alphabet translator, where the cards come from: lambda, mu, nu, omicron, upsilon. Type them that way.
Questions
How many letters are in the Greek alphabet?
24, from alpha to omega. Sigma's word-final form ς is the same letter, not a 25th.
Can I print the cards?
Yes. The print section prints the cards you've chosen, double-sided with each answer behind its letter, or as fold-over strips for a single-sided printer.
Why isn't my spelling accepted?
The quiz checks against one spelling of each name, the one in the translator's table. If you learned another spelling, turn the card instead and mark yourself.
