Synopsis
Lesson Two builds on the foundation of Lesson One
by continuing with the sight and sounds of the twenty-four Greek
alphabetical characters. The
similarities and the dissimilarities between the Greek and English
letters are examined by comparing between what is known (English) and what
is new (Greek). Furthermore, aid in learning to
pronounce these Greek letters is by means of ninety-two MP3 audio links that span this
lesson. The eight page Study Guide included at the end of
Lesson Two motivates the learning of the Greek alphabet.

the Greek alphabetical characters. This tutorial link is
also available under Lesson One Study Aids. There is no SA
pagination associated with these HTML pages.

their alphabetical order or skip ahead and select a particular
letter for further study. Details for each letter is
available, including both its Greek and English spellings, its
transliteration, the letter's pronunciation, and phonetic value.
The student also has the option to view an animated formation of
each Greek letter. There is no SA pagination associated
