/Ok my friend,i Thak you a lot,but I really want to know if there are big differrences between Koine and classical greek,because I have study material of both!Emma_85 wrote:Koine is really useful for reading the Bible, but if you are interested in history it's probably best to study Attic, that way you can read the works of Greek historians in the original and generally understand the Greek culture better by reading other stuff in the original.
You won't automatically be able to understand modern Greek though. I found I could understand a lot, but there were still so many things that made no sense... a friend gave me 3 teach yourself modern Greek books. So you should be able to understand modern Greek if you've done classical and you've read through some teach yourself modern Greek books. What I find I lack is a modern Greek dictionary... lol. I can't just go and have a conversation with someone in Greek, I'd probably be able to pick up modern Greek easily if I went to live in Greece for a year though.
