Writing the Letters
Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds
Mastering Greek script requires learning letter shapes, stroke order, and the distinction between uppercase and lowercase forms.
- Always start strokes from the top-left, similar to Latin script: 'Α' starts with the left diagonal.
- Lowercase letters like 'α' and 'β' have specific curves; focus on the rounded belly of the 'α'.
- Connect letters only when writing in cursive; standard print is always disconnected.
Meanings
The Greek alphabet consists of 24 letters used to represent the sounds of the Greek language. It is the foundation for all literacy in the language.
Print Script
The standard, disconnected form of writing used in books, signs, and digital text.
“Α, Β, Γ, Δ, Ε”
“Το σπίτι είναι μεγάλο.”
