Oddly enough... after two years of Latin in High School, I have actually became increasingly helpless to marvel at Greek writing... and I was wanting someones opinion...
I enjoy latin alot, its helped me alot through school from parsing words etc. but I have not acted on pursuing Greek for two reasons.
1) I AM still taking a latin course, and I'm just afraid I may get a little ahead of myself if study both at the same time.
2) I'm not exactly sure what i would be getting myself into.
Any advice?

Re: From a Latin Enthusiast...
You'll have to decide this one yourself. If you have the time to do both with attention, I see no reason not to study both. If you have many demands on your time, you should probably solidify your grounding in Latin before taking up Greek.Brent2009 wrote:1) I AM still taking a latin course, and I'm just afraid I may get a little ahead of myself if study both at the same time.
More of the same, and then some. One fewer case, but one more number (dual), six instead of four principal parts, an entire extra mood, all sorts of funky phonetic processes which mask the clarity of noun and verb forms, even more participles, and, of course, magnificent literature.2) I'm not exactly sure what i would be getting myself into.
