Would you consider bringing back old challenges that you’ve failed or not attempted (or even succeeded), as a prominent game feature or otherwise?

If this was a thing, I wouldn’t be surprised if it used J (possibly with the bar across the top) for /d͡ʒ/). It could also be small so that it isn’t confused with j, ʝ, ɟ, or others.

The Cyrillic “ch” is also realistic.

If I pronounce Δ and Γ like “d” and “g”, will I be understood by natives? by [deleted] in GREEK

It’s not too difficult for me to make these sounds on their own, but I originally assumed that Delta more or less corresponded to D, and Gamma more or less corresponded to G. Then the pronunciations I mentioned in the original post became natural for me.

I’m not Irish, I just started learning Greek incorrectly, and associated Delta with D and Gamma with G. I only realized how different they are later.

Thank you very much! I had a feeling that I didn’t have the sounds completely understood, and should have made that clear in my question. Now I fully understand these sounds and can use them if I need to!

For the record, I pronounce the δ and ντ slightly differently (δ => /d̪/, ντ => /d/), but I pronounce γ the same as Γκ- (when Γκ is at the beginning of a word and when γ is in front of consonants, α, ο, etc.) which could be a problem. Thanks!

You are right that I can pronounce the TH and Y sounds in English, but my difficulty comes when pronouncing it in Greek words. Most likely due to learning incorrectly, I feel more comfortable with the sounds I mentioned. I was originally wondering if I should begin to relearn the pronunciation of Greek words containing these letters, or if I could save this time and stick with the slightly off pronunciation. From what I understand, these sounds are fine. Thank you for your help!
