<p>How different are ancient and modern Greek? Just wondering. :)</p>

2

<p>Probably a lot. Probably like Archaic English and Modern English.</p>

<p>I don't believe that Greek has developed as much as English due to its 500-year repression under the Ottomans, as some of the ancient language is still decipherable from modern Greek.</p>

<p>Modern and Ancient Greek are different enough so that in order to learn one, you'd have to learn the other. This is coming from a Greek ;D</p>

<p>Ugh... so if I learned ancient Greek in school, it's not like I could speak it in Greece?</p>

<p>Yeah...sorry...but ancient Greek is a great language anyway :D</p>
