<p>I really want to learn it, but there are no schools around here that offer it. I was thinking about Rosetta Stone but I heard that it doesn't teach you grammar. Where else could I look? I'll probably be in Greece for a month this summer so I want at least some knowledge of the language before I go...</p>
<p>Ancient or Modern? Ancient I recommend ordering a book called “Athenaze” off of Amazon and work your way through it</p>
<p>Ancient would be totally useless now, only find things that teach Modern Greek. Ancient is only good for reading original texts and manuscripts really. Take it from a Greek kid lol ;)</p>
<p>^ Yeah… didn’t read the OP before I posted which was dumb…</p>
<p>^Haha, sorry if I came off as brash, I didn’t mean to. Ancient is SO much more complex than Modern, I don’t think many people would want to deal with that 
The best way to learn Greek is to have somebody with you who does not speak English, and you are forced to speak Greek. Extremely effective lol</p>
<p>^ Never learned modern. I can read Ancient and yeah the Ancient Greek verb is Satan’s plaything… Is the verb still that bad (with three voices, three numbers, god knows how many moods and the 2nd Aorist?)</p>
<p>Yasou, ti kanis? 
</p>
<p>I’d recommend the Rosetta stone. As much as I’d like to teach you Greek, an interactive program such as the Rosetta stone is the best way to learn common communication.</p>
<p>If you ever have the opportunity to go to Greece, then take it! Living in a country for any period of time boosts your language speaking capability.</p>
<p>Lol TheYankInLondon, it has become easier. Yeah nobody wanted to have learn that anymore, it has since become easier to learn. Thankfully. about time lol</p>
<p>Say “no” to Rosetta Stone. It’s trash. I got it for free and still threw it out.</p>
<p>Get Pimsleur. It’s a good starting place and then work from there.</p>
