Tip: Are you a non-native English speaker? I have just finished creating a Web App for people who enjoy learning by reading. Make sure to check it out; there's a lot of free content.
I learn and speak several languages, but the proper pronunciation of the names of the letters of the standard 26-letter Latin alphabet is usually one of the last things I learn (although as a mathematician, I need them to read mathematical expressions; it just seems there is very little need for any language other than English in mathematics nowadays).
For this reason, I have compiled a list of letter names in several languages, to help me memorize them. The names are written in the IPA. Sometimes, I could not find any reliable source and had to rely on YouTube tutorials or my own guesses based solely on orthography; this is especially true for Russian, so I would be grateful for any suggestions for possible corrections.
