It’s Anything BUT Ancient https://laacademia.co.uk/want-to-learn-greek-in-the-modern-era-its-anything-but-ancient/ Fri, 21 Mar 2025 17:12:27 +0000 https://laacademia.co.uk/?p=20539 Not sure whether you want to learn Greek or not? Let’s set the record straight before you say, “Isn’t that, like, ancient?” Because Greek is as relevant today as it was when philosophers were busy shaping Western civilization.

What’s more, Greek Independence Day on 25th March is the perfect excuse to indulge in a flaky, honey-drizzled baklava and think about the fascinating possibilities ahead when you learn Greek.

Discover a Language Steeped in History and Drama When You Learn Greek

 Greece declared its independence from the Ottoman Empire in 1821, and Greeks worldwide celebrate their hard-fought freedom annually. Take a peek into their history. And you’ll soon see why it’s worth learning the language that carried Greece through the centuries and shaped modern Europe.

Here are some additional key factors that might sway your decision to learn Greek:

  • Submerge yourself in the classics – Explore ancient myths, philosophy, and theatre with no subtitles required.
  • Learn with less difficulty than you think – The Greek alphabet is the base of the Roman alphabet. You’re already halfway there.
  • Leave the cluelessness behind when you land – Effortlessly ask for directions to the Parthenon and order an ouzo beneath a shimmering Greek sunset.
  • Boost your business and career prospects – Learning Greek will take you far, whether you’re eyeing a job in Greece or networking with Greek professionals.
  • Appreciate Greek food at its mouth-watering best – Reading a menu in Greek = a sensory journey and ultimately, a treat for your tastebuds – and your tummy.

Learning Greek is Great for Holidays and More

Greece is world famous for breathtaking islands, history-soaked cities, and warm, welcoming people. So, nibble away on that baklava and resolve to learn Greek this Independence Day.
