I wrote το γράμμα β on previous exercise was marked wrong wanted το γράμμα βήτα so with this exercise I wrote το γράμμα βήτα and got marked wrong I've submitted a form with previous exercise as discussion was closed Wouldn't it be better to have both "βήτα and β" accepted on both exercises

How do you know when to use η or ε or ι for the "ee" sound? Like in beta, i thought it was βετα but its βήτα. How do i remember which one to use when?
Just as you know when to write:
"I meet or meat my friends."
"I want to write/right a book."
And which is the correct: "by, bye, buy" or "their, there, they're" English speakers learn each word individually and so do Greeks. Only in Greek there are fewer exceptions.
Your best friend for spelling is the Drop Down Hints to see which is the right translation and then learn it. Each exercise contains only one new word and they are repeated many times so you can learn them.

There is a serious computer program problem with this section. In spite of many efforts it still isn't corrected. Please have a look at the links we give for the Greek alphabet below and go on to the next skill.

We are sorry for the issues with this Skill and it's one of the main reasons we have created a new tree...which you should be getting soon.
However, if you read the other comments on this page you'll see that we have commented on this and offered suggestions to overcome the problem and learn about the alphabet at the same time.
