I think you meant to say chat instead of hat when you did X. But great lesson! If I see something written in Greek I should totally be able to read it now! Not understand it, but hey, whatever. :)

@TheBoringLifeOfBeth No, χ is not pronounced ch, the ch sound in greek is τς, χ is like h in behind but not exactly, I dont think that any english sound corresponds to χ, it's like plain h but more clear and strong you have to touch your upper back teeth with your tongue to say it right. I hope I helped.

@k1shralaaks you use it whenever the letter Σ-σ(s) is the last letter of a word.for example φως(fos) which means light has an Σσ as a last letter but you put an ς instead.they are pronounced the same.that's the only way the letter ς is used.
