Things to Eat

Here are three more letters that we'll need to order some food with our drink.

Ψ ψ

This consonant has the sound of the ps in lapse.

Hear the letter’s sound: hear the sound
Hear the letter’s name: hear the letter name


Μ μ

Memorize this letter immediately; it has the consonant sound of “me.”

Hear the letter’s sound: hear the sound
Hear the letter’s name: hear the letter name

And those two letters come together in the word for bread:

ψωμί hear the sound

The third letter has its very own picture drama.

This is a picture of a violin.
Some vicious villian has violently divided the violin in two.
Look at the shape of the violently divided violin.
Here is a Greek letter that looks like the divided violin and has the consonant sound in violin.
Β β

Hear the letter’s sound: hear the sound
Hear the letter’s name: hear the letter name

We need this letter for the word for the “butter” on our bread:
