Greek Language Archives

Is it possible to start to learn Russian and Greek at the same time, like in school, you learn English and German.

Would it be to hard to learn those languages at the same time, and how long would it take ... ? How long should i study at day.

Which languages would be the most useful: Greek, Russian or Czech?

I already speak English, German and Danish, which would be the hardest to learn for me, and which would be the easiest?

I'm really interested ind languages, so i wan't to learn them all, but which would be the best to start with?

I am talking about stories found in Edith Hamilton's Mythology.

Things like Romeo and Juliet are based on or similar to the brief story of lovers Pyramus and Thisbe.

It does not have to be a myth from Mythology I am open to all ideas.

I want to learn Greek.

Are there any free websites to use?

And to help me learn the alphabet, is there anywhere i can get Greek texts online to practice reading and recognizing the letters?

Thanks!

I don't know which to learn next year after my Junior exams. Which would be better? I speak English and am learning Irish and French at the moment. Or if there are any other languages that would be better please tell me.

Thanks. x

I remember from when I was skimming a book in the library I think to find a good book, I picked up a Greek Mythology one, and it talked about a lady and a unicorn, but this unicorn was nothing like the ones you'd think they'd be, but rather blood red with scary eyes. My memory is fuzzy, but is it true that in Greek Mythology, there were indeed unicorns, even if they were rare?

I was thinking first they would have to learn each God and what they represent?
What do you think?

I'm looking for a community of passionate and people, who would be able to talk and aswer to very precise questions about Charon, the ferryman, for a school project. I talk both english and french. Please link me any site you know !

Tanks in advance.

(i know some people think latin is dead, but it is used as a root language in almost all European langauges)

Is it hard to learn Greek?

My sister is going there for a week this summer, and she doesn't know any Greek. Not even hello, thanks, etc. She is going to go to the mostly tourist sites like Athens, so do they speak some English there? Also, she wants to know if it is hard to learn basic Greek. Just simple/everyday terms that would help her communicate

Thanks!

Well we are talking about balanced budgets, so obviously it must not be a conservative party.

I be right. It was the socialists.

Greek MP expelled from socialist party for voting against austerity bill

Dick,

So I guess balanced budgets are socialists now? Must be because they raised taxes as well as cut spending.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

I'm not talking about the nation and governments and what not. But normal family living. How has it changed?

Can mortals talk to Greek gods and goddesses?

I mean in a myth.
I have to write one, and I forgot if they could or not.
For example, a mortal decides to steal something of Zeus's, and Hermes hears.
Hermes goes and tells Zeus, who then tells Hermes to trick the mortal into tell him the whole plan.

So I guess what I'm asking is, could Hermes go and talk to the mortal?

How can I learn Koine Greek/biblical greek?

I am very interested in learning the Greek that was used in the New Testament.

I don't know where to start. I tried picking up a few books from my local Library, but they were not very detailed.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I really like this Greek guy but he always flirts and talks about black girls and how he loves dark skin. Im white and I its impossible for me to get darker. Everytime we go out they are always flirting with the black girls when there are tons of hott white girls around. It really hurts my feelings because they are all really hott and sometimes I feel like Im not good enough for them. Why do Italians and Greeks like black girls?

Should I learn Ancient Greek or Latin?

I am an art history student and I need to take a language. I love classical antiquity and I want to specialize in Greek and Roman art and architecture. I am torn between the two languages. I think Latin may be a little more useful, but I am still unsure. Thanks!

Who goes to the Underworld in Greek mythology?

I'm confused.
In Greek mythology who goes to the underworld, Everyone that dies? or only bad people like in christian religion?

Everyone thinks the underworld is like hell but I haven't seen anything related to Greek culture that talks about a heaven for humans; the Olympus is just for gods and goddesses right?

Where can I learn Aeolic Greek?

I've a sudden love for the Aeolic dialect of Ancient Greek, and I was wondering if there was a place online that gave lessons in Aeolic. Does anyone here know of such a site?

The problem is, every time I call to be in the Greek house, all the members appear, but then I start talking to one person, and then they all seem to "run away from the dorm", or dissapear! HELP!!!!

How difficult is it to learn greek?

I'm from Canada.
I'm good at languages...i know french and english
but...I went to greece two years ago
and I fell in love with it..
and I want to move there in 5 years after im done university..
But I do need to know the language of course.
How difficult would it be to become fluent in greek in 5 years?

I was wondering if the Greek goddess Styx was ever talked about as being a red head or having fiery hair. if so was she also pale?
styx was named so after a Greek goddess or at least she was the daughter of a greek goddess.

Do/did you learn Greek in the university?

I'd like you to tell me where do/did you study (country and, if you want, university), what do/did you study and if you learn/learned Greek or Ancient Greek.
If someone learned Greek when in High-School, I would be very impressed to hear it...
Ten points for the best Greek phrase!!!

I've taken two years of latin, and I'd say it's somewhat hard to learn everything, but once you learn declension and conjugation rules, it is fairly easy. I'd be fluent in Latin if I could actually remember any of the vocabulary...

So, people say Russian is realllly hard to learn, but is it any harder than Latin?
And what about Greek? I've heard it is also very difficult.

I am just curious what people have to say about which is more difficult, and why :) Thanks!
