"Give it a try! Kolo is older than Athens and even he learned Greek! :)"

Hey, you're older than me! :)

But D, you should learn. Its very easy. In Greece there are children 2 years old who get by pretty well in it. By the time they're 3 they are quite fluent!

I think languages are easier for kids. And Greeks use those funny letters alpha, beta... phe, phi, phoe, phum..

Kolo, did you take classes or Berlitz or use tapes?

Well, wouldn't there be a very great difference between taking Greek as a new language today, and being able to understand the Greek of the scripture? I don't know. I was just thinking that if I took a class in Middle English or something that it would be like learning a foreign language(s). And the Greek would be much older.
