Is Latin and Greek difficult to learn?

Is latin and greek difficult languages to learn for somebody fluent in english and spanish?

Note that I'm curious in learning greek and latin for my own personal uses in writing to greek friends and in reading latin and greek literature. And I'm looking foward to teaching myself rather than take a class.

I would really like to learn these two languages. I know it would be a lot to take on but I would really like to. Since I can already speak french and english I know Spanish would be easy but I still want to try Greek. Thanks a lot. Stephanie.

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 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

THE ANSWERS ARE NOT OTHER LANGUAGES.

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!

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?

languages are not offered as a course in high school so if any one could suggest some ways to go about learning them it would be greatly appreciated. Also if you have any book suggestions on them that would be great.

Yes, im aware this is odd. lol

Which is best to learn, Latin of Greek?

Hi there.

I've just spent some time online and found it most interesting how English comes from Latin and Greek and I'd like very much to learn more about these languages, maybe even get to speak them one day. But I know that Latin is a dying langauge which is pretty sad all things considered. So, what do you reacon? Is Greek easier to learn? Should I try finding a Latin teacher? Or am I simply wasting my time? Thanks everyone.

basically, my life motto is "carry your shield or come home on it". i know this is a spartan saying and i'd really appreciate knowing either the greek or the latin translation of this by someone who's studied in the grammar and correct term usage please.

"E tan, e epi tan"
"veho vestri contego vel adveho domus in is."
those are two latin translations that came from my research but i have no real knowledge of either of these languages

Languages known:
Spanish
English

Learning: French

Going to learn:
Arabic
Chinese

After Arabic and Chinese, is it more rational to learn Greek, Japanese, or Portuguese? For example, for business purposes.

Latin-Roman people ( Spanish,Portuguese and Italians )are so different than Slavic people...
Nordic people( Norvegian,Swedish, German) are also so different than Greek people...
Etc,etc...
But they are all White people...Homo Sapiens people...

Why, how and when did they choose to do the things in different ways ? (languages,cultures,etc..)

i want to know what is the set meaning of nao me xinga

as i was saying i do speak greek and english can you help if you speak this languages to tell me what is this mean? it is portuguese does it means den me xegelas or something like this i would appreciate it thanks so much

How do you write STALLION PONY in Russian & Greek?

And maybe in other languages too?! It would be a great help. Thankssss :D

What did those 3 languages sound like when spoken, compared to modern Greek?

How do i write this in greek with english letters?

"Hopefully our children will be smart like you and learn both languages"

I would like to know this quotations in as many languages as I can.

How long does it take to learn Greek?

No, modern Greek.
My step mother is Greek, so she may tutor me a bit. I speak 4 languages : Arabic (native), English (fluent), German ( advanced) and French (advanced)
I know i can do it in a year or 2, languages is a strong point of mine lol but i was just wondering normally how long does it take.

I would like to learn Classical Hebrew and Ancient Greek, however I feel it is more beneficial to learn a language you can use to actually talk to people. If I were to learn their modern equivalents would a transition to their older counterparts be easy? I know that Old English and English are drastically different, I was just wondering how much these languages have evolved.

I speak English and Italian, and am interested in learning both of these languages since I travel to Portugal and Greece a lot. I want to learn the language that is easiest first. Thank you!

What is the easiest way to learn Greek?

I am American, knowing only little bits and pieces of quite a few languages, yet I want to actually learn Greek, yet every course online sucks. Any other online courses I can use?
Courses I have tried are:
Kypros.org
Byki
Live Mocha
the iPhone app "Wordpower"
and I believe a few others.

They say that English came from Greek and Latin because of many of the prefixes, the base words, and the root words, and then they say Spanish came from Latin. Did Spanish just come from Latin? I know hablar means to talk while sol is a Latin word for sun that came into the Spanish language. So this is why I asked how were the 2 languages of Greek and Latin formed.

I'm going to Greece and Paris in May which is only two months from now. I need to learn and master these two languages before I go, anyone know any good sites or books in which I can use?

Does it sound good,melodical or bad and "heavy"?With which other languages would you say is similar?
Please write what's your native language too

I was wondering if there was because i want to learn a second languages and i think Greek or German would be the coolest to learn

d. Aristotle was a Greek philosopher and used his language.
