I don't understand why there is a dot below the letter. I'm not sure if it is supposed to be like this or if it is an error. At first, I thought it was an exclamation mark.
There is a line of dots under every new word for which there is a drop down prompt available. Unfortunately, for a single letter, that is a single dot!
Those are magic dots. They are the Hover drop down hints. Hover your cursor over that/those dots and you'll see the hints for that exercise. They are like a mini dictionary. It's best to always chose the first word/letter given.
INTRODUCTION TO THIS SKILL:This is the alphabet section so you will see letters and often a word to demonstrate and help you remember it. "m mum" is in English and if you hover you'll see the Greek. "μ μαμά". If you see the English you'll be expected to type it in Greek or or the Greek using Latin letters. Do you have a Greek keyboard. 0

In this listening exercise I was marked wrong for answering "γιώτα" instead of "ι"; in another in this lesson I was marked wrong for answering "η ήδη" instead of "ήτα ήδη". I am not allowed to report "My answer should be accepted" for listening exercises, though I've tried to report them anyway. Please make these consistent!
Until we can get the whole ABCs skill reworked we are making an effort to make it easy to access. For instance this "sentence" which teaches only one letter but causes so much hassle has now been disabled from the Listening. We hope it is still workable in the other areas. Please continue to inform us of all these troubles so we can not only bring them into line here but most importantly produce a new tree without such problems. Many thanks for your assistance.
