Breast but not zita

We are many teachers who make mistakes and sometimes we do not realize it until someone lets us know. The Greek alphabet we use constantly in mathematics and physics and is to represent numerals, angles, ratios or constants.

Here are several common mistakes that I believe 90% of Peruvian teachers commit:

θ as most called theta pronounced 'zeta' or 'zita' with Spanish z.

ξ some call 'chi', 'chi', 'psi' or 'fi' that do, they called 'xi'.

μ is not 'mu' but is 'mi', and there some errors are committed even in the cartoons that are made.

ν is not 'nu' but is 'no'.

I think I was wrong for many years, but not anymore.

Α / α: Alpha
Β / β: Beta / Vita
Γ / γ: Gamma / Gham
Δ / δ: Delta / Dhelta
Ε / ε: Epsilon
Ζ / ζ: Zeta / Zita (English or French pronunciation of 'z')
Η / η: Eta / Ita
Θ / θ: Zeta / Zita (Castilian pronunciation of 'z')
Ι / ι: Iota / Yiota
Κ / κ: Kappa / Kappa
Λ / λ: Lambda / Lamdha
Μ / μ: My / Mi
Ν / ν: Ny / Ni
Ξ / ξ Xi
Ο / ο: Omicron
Π / π: Pi
Ρ / ρ: Ro
Σ / σ, ς Sigma
Τ / τ: Tau / Taf
Υ / υ: Ypsilon / Upsilon
Φ / φ: Fi
Χ / χ: Ji
Ψ / ψ: Psi
Ω / ω: omega

I hope to correct these minor errors that are very common.
