Wrong again... Why do you think Ancient Greek is taught ? There is no archaeology lobby over here. Just like Latin, Ancient Greek is useful to know our current languages better (a word like archaeology, for instance, comes from ancient Greek). It's obviously more useful for language like French,... that use more words from it.
It 's also culturally very interesting...for most of the time the language is the reflect of a country's mind/way of thinking, etc. Plus the Ancient Greek civilization was one of the greatest !

Depends. If you have a tutor and you study everyday you could probably be fluent in...a year. If you're learning from a book it will take alot longer.

I know Spanish, Japanese, Korean, French, and Italian.

Pretty explanatory. Some people're just good with languages. I do't find japanese hard, and that's helped by me always talking to japanese people online, so it's like the NOVA program for free ^_^

Well I'm just saying it because of how long it took my friend. I, myself have always known Japanese.
