Ways of learning the greek alphabet over night?

5 Comments

I only just started learning greek with a class of people who have been learning for 2 years. And i really need to learn the alphabet for a test tomorrow. Any suggestions of ways to learn it? (Maybe a song)

α,β,γ,δ,
ΑΒΓά Δίχως ομελέτα,
ε,ζ,η,θ,
Ένα Ζήτω Η Θεία Ρίτα
ι,κ,λ,μ,
Ίσως Και Λίγο ψωΜί
ν,ξ,ο και π
Νίκο Ξυπνά τΟ Παιδί
ρ και σ γίναν φίλοι,
σαν δύο Ρόγες από Σταφύλι,
τ και υ,φ και χ,
ΤΥρί Φέτα στη βροΧή
ψ μας έμεινε κι ω
Ψάχνω μια Ωραία ρέγγα.

I apologise for my awful poetry, but this was the best I could do. Show it to your teacher for a translation. It really doesn’t make any sense, but it uses all the alphabet letters in a row with words beginning or including the letters. As a later excercise, you could write your own poems too, maybe if you learn some greek words first. Good Luck!

    Well the greek alphabet is awfully close to the english alphabet…. (Well maybe not) I took Greek for 8 years and can’t write it down in order. >.< Repetition is probably your best friend. You will come up with tricks the more times you look at it.

    However, you gotta get off the internet to study! :p

    A song will probably be your easiest way. Try reciting the alphabet in a rhythm of a song you already know, like twinkle twinkle little star or something easy like that
