Around 13 million people - mostly in Greece and Cyprus (where it is one of two official languages) - speak the modern form of Greek. However, Greek speakers are by far, more international than in South-eastern Europe and can be encountered in the USA, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia.
Around 13 million people - mostly in Greece and Cyprus (where it is one of two official languages) - speak the modern form of Greek. However, Greek speakers are by far, more international than in South-eastern Europe and can be encountered in the USA, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia where they all form a significant (and growing) diaspora.
Moreover, because of the importance of Greek civilization to the West, many things the Greeks invented or were the first to do are enmeshed into our own culture: from drama and political theory to classical architecture and even the Olympic games.
The language's origins date back nearly three and a half millennia but this course from Languages at Leicester is specifically in its modern form. Useful if you plan a holiday to Mykonos or the Peloponnese but not aimed at those wishing to read Homer's Iliad or Odyssey (although it may give you a leg up in that direction).

We believe in education as a force for good. To make this world a better place by empowering our members to become Citizens of Change. Our origins, over 100 years ago, speak to that very purpose – our founding father Dr Astley Clarke declared:
