<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 4564902, member: 72790&quot;]Oh, yes. At school we were given a New testament with one side of the text the Latin Vulgate, the other in Koine Greek. I still have it.&nbsp; Reading the Vulgate was considered backsliding, if not cheating. I never became proficient in either Attic or Koine Greek. When visiting Greece I tried&nbsp; some of my ancient Greek and the results were probably comical to the natives. I would say, though, that modern demotic Greek is closer to ancient Greek than Italian to Latin but with my ancient pronunciation I probably sounded like Chaucer does to modern speakers of English. The Greek people, however, were enormously patient with me though it didn&#039;t take too long for most of them to ask to switch to something else.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
