Leave it...yes, just move on...this section has a problem with a glitch. Read the other comments on this page which will show you links to the Greek letters and help you recognize them, how they are pronounced etc.
Have a look at the tips on this page...it's worth spending the time.

From your progress, I see you have advanced well beyond the ABCs. So, don't let the "alpha" glitch bog you down.
Btw we are working on fixing the glitches...but sometimes that takes time.

Why does it sometimes want the bame of tge letter and sometimes just the letter? There doesn't seem to be ant logic or consistency.

Το γράμμα άλφα α is correct too. Sometimes the learner has to write only one single greek letter e.g. α, but sometimes he has to write both, the letter and the name of the letter. Why this is here an error?
Yes, that is a problem with this sentence. Try to get beyond the ABC skill and go on to other levels which don't have this problem.

I fully agree with the other commentators of this item, all tap what you hear questions sounding "to gramma alpha", "to gramma veeta", etc. must also accept "το γράμμα α", "το γράμμα β", etc. as correct answers.
Please make use of the Greek Forum where you will find a large range of references including links to hear Greek spoken by native Greek speakers.

The new version looks pretty, but it deleated my solved lessons. So I have to start again....
We are sorry that the New Tree removed your previous work but that is the way Duolingo adds a New Tree. Tree 2 now has many more new Skills which means you will learn more advanced Greek. We have also tried to remove any problematic sentences.
And while you have lose your previous work with all that you learned you can now move through Tree 2 quickly and regain that work and reach the advanced stages.
