Greek

Greek is an Indo-European language spoken by over 13 million people and is the official language of both Greece and Cyprus.

Modern Greek, also known as Demotic Greek, has its roots in Ancient Greek, but has evolved over the centuries with influences from other languages and dialects.

How hard is it to learn Greek?

Greek has a complex grammar and is written in the Greek alphabet, which may be unfamiliar to English speakers. However, there are some similarities between English and Greek, such as the existence of cognates, words that are similar in both languages and have a common origin.

It should take around 44 weeks of study for an English speaker to become proficient in Greek.
