Why? Haven't all the major written works been translated since the 19th century?

I am curious to know why you would recommend it to everyone?
Will it help me be a better person?

I am greek and I was taught ancient greek in high school and it was really a pain in the ass even for me that my native language is very similar....
I cannot imagine how difficult it has to be for an american.

I studied Koine Greek for a while in the early nineties. Very interesting stuff.

I'm taking a course in 'Making Oneself Appear Intelligent and Interesting at Poncy Dinner Parties Whilst Remaining True to your Inner Cuntiness'
I recommend it to any aspiring cunts.

i just think its really cool. it's not going to make you a better person. it's going to make you b the life of a party.
i just recommended it bc it's pretty cool. it's not that it's another language, and it's not the fact that its really old. but i will say that after learning it, i think it wil be much easier to pick up other languages.
thats all.
