I'm about to finish my Summer intensive on Greek & one thing I've noticed is that a knowledge of Spanish helps out quite a bit with it. The gender in the words is something that I relate to Spanish & it has helped me quite a bit. Just thought I'd mention it to those who are thinking of taking Greek in the future & because I've read several people mention that a knowledge a Latin helps in Greek. Well Spanish is a lot more readily available to learn & it's also USED especially nowadays as we are getting invaded by Mexico. Also I had previously studied Russian & that helped a bit as well. many of the letters transfer from Cyrillic to Greek & vice versa. Loving it!!! I have a whole new respect for Spanish.
