Teach myself Greek.
Ancient or modern?

I’ve always been drawn to the Greek language and Greece itself(alas I have not visited yet)
Many many years ago i bought myself a learn Greek in 3 months book and despite many half-hearted attempts it’s taken me a little more than 3 months to get started (nearly 20 years)

In the last couple of years whilst studying for a degree in Art history and Classical studies I have been taken back to the magical world of Ancient Greece,in particular 5BCE Athens.

And now here I am trying to decide whether to learn Ancient or Modern Greek.I know they are very similar and I would like to learn both but not being a very good language student(5 yrs of French at school and all I can say is oui!)I think I will stick to just one at a time.

Ancient Greece is a big love for me but if I was to ever make it there then I would like to understand the natives so to speak.

Ok as with all my goals my life starts Monday so hopefully by then I will have decided which to learn.

Here’s to me!!
