the sound veeta makes is supposed to be a v sound just so you know not a b although it looks like a b

The letter B, b comes from Β, β which was pronounced bee in old Greek when it was borrowed but now is pronounced vee. Modern Greek has the same 24 letters as old Greek but the pronounciation is sometimes different

"Το γράμμα βήτα" didn't work for me, it wanted me to just have the letter itself, should it accept what I wrote (unless there was a spelling error I missed)?

Same thing happened to me. I spelled it out because it asked me to type what I heard. It also is inconsistent with the letter π. Sometimes it wants you to write πι and sometimes just π. It marked me incorrect, gave me the question again, then marked that answer wrong with the correction of the answer I gave previously!!
In all of this skills, we accept a variety of answers. For example for this exercise "The letter b/v/beta/veeta/vita" and the same for Π etc why the computer causes these problems and as you see inconsistences has never been solved. The new tree will take another approach to teaching the alphabet to avoid such issues.
Having the same problem as the 3rd commenter, but with many different questions. It seems random whether each question wants the letter character or the name of the letter spelled out, and the other one isn't accepted. Makes the alphabet exercises frustrating. Am I missing something?
No, you are not missing anything our computer program which does the grading has been causing the problem. We are creating a new tree to address this and other issues as well as to add new material.

Why is 'veeta' marked as a typo and corrected to 'beta' i thought it isn't the b sound rather than the v sound.
The computer program had an error. The correct pronunciation of the letter Ββ is "veeta".
