Mnemonics for learning Greek alphabet?

Question

I'm looking for resources that use mnemonics for the Greek alphabet, so I can learn the writing system in less time.

I would prefer a printed or printable resources (ideally small), but an electronic resource is also fine if nothing in print can be found.

I found the YouTube video Greek Alphabet: It's Easy To Learn The Greek Alphabet With Mnemonics by Anthony Metivier, but this describes a method (a memory palace) that you still need to "fill" with your own mnemonics. Since his own mnemonics don't work well for me, I am looking for something else.

In addition, it needs to be a resource that focuses on Modern Greek, not Koiné Greek.

Answer 1

Mathematical notation is a home to a great number of mnemonics, though they are mostly useful if one is fluent in mathematics, physics, statistics, or a related field. For example:

• Capital sigma, short for sum, is used in sum notation. Capital pi is used in the much rarer product notation.
• Capital delta is used for change in elementary mechanics and elsewhere.
• In a first university level course in analysis one meets epsilon-delta proofs, where epsilon stands for error and (non-capital) delta stands for difference. Both are used more generally for small quantities.
• Rho (that looks like p) is often used for pressure.
• Alpha, beta and gamma are commonly used for angles, even at gymnasium level or in middle school.

Not all of the Greek letters are used regular - capital alpha is not common for obvious reasons (though one Greek lecturer once used it for fun), and I do not think I have ever seen a iota or an omicron in mathematics.

Answer 2

You should consider the fact that the Greek and Latin alphabets have many common characters. Also you could see Greek words and their pronunciation(this helped me memorize the cyrillic alphabet a lot.)
