Hi,
I'm thinking of learning Greek out of interest. I've studied Japanese for about 4 years now and spanish for 2. I enjoy both, mostly due to thier simple grammer and phonetics (to me, being british anglophonic). Would Greek offer the same advantages? I have a feeling it may actuly be quite difficult (high school latin springing to mind) but in all honesty I have no idea.

Thanks in advance.

In my experience, the language's vocabulary and structure is quite different to what I'm used to studying, which are all European languages. Since you have experience with non Indo-European languages, I guess you'd be better adapted to take on a language like Greek, which will undoubtedly be no easy feat. For example, in Greek, there is a high tendency to form extremely long words by compounding, much like in German. Yikes :eek:

Well I am Greek and it is a hard language. Everything has a gender, so it changes the accent of the word and what not its similar to french and Russian because Greeks made those languages for those people.

Greek goes like this, every noun has a gender, based on the gender, theres 3 ways to say 'The' 2 ways to say 'a'.

Based on the gender of a word, the ENDING of the adjective changes.

In a sentence pro-verbs also come before verbs so a setence would sound like this.
