How the script works 📝
Two things about the Greek script. First, Greek uses its **own alphabet** (alpha α, beta β, gamma γ...), written **left to right** - the ancestor of our Latin one. Watch the **false friends**: Ρ is "r" not "p", Η is "i", and Χ is "ch". Second, a small accent called a **tonos** marks the stressed syllable, as in μάθημα (mathima).
