Re: Languages
I understand bits of Greek, Koine Greek, from scriptural, historical and literature studies. Would possibly be willing to learn it later, at a more serious level, if and when need be, but there's too much of it in our lives so I have no further interest in it. Near enough every Westernized name for everything is based on the Greek language and is non-intuitive to us, but intuitive to them. I studied with a few Greeks many years back who spoke English with a Hellas accent and even though their spoken English was weak compared to a native English, their understanding of the words was far better in all sciences and applications because it's their words the West uses, even in Christianity, and much of Latin which is derived directly from it.
i.e. Ta Biblia - The Books (Bible)
