🔠 Mistake 1: Mispronouncing the Greek Alphabet
Greek has some tricky letters for English speakers!
🔹 Γ (gamma) ➝ Not a hard “g” like in “go,” but a soft “gh” or “y” sound.
🔹 Δ (delta) ➝ Not “d” but a soft “th” sound (like “this” or “that”).
🎧 Tip: Practice these sounds with native speakers or audio resources!

🔸 μιλώ (miló) = I speak 🗣️
📌 Big difference, right? Always pay attention to accents!
