This seems the only sub interested in language learning at all, and since you guys love the Greeks so much I think you guys can help me
I want to learn the entirety of the Greek language. I want to learn Ancient Greek, Biblical/Koine Greek, Katharevousa, and Demotic Greek. In what order should I learn these? I know Ancient Greek can be good for etymologies, but it’s weird pronunciation can make it difficult to learn other dialects. Modern Greek is still spoken to this day, so I could actually go to Greece and speak to Greek people using it, which is helpful, though apparently it’s very different from all the others. Katharevousa is apparently a happy medium, but it’s a strictly literary language (and resources in English are apparently scarce).
So, what does /lit/ think? I’d especially love it if any native Greek speakers could weigh in. In what order should I try learning these? Also, is there any major dialect of Greek I’m forgetting? Please don’t try to simplify it by saying “just don’t learn this” or “just skip this one,” if you think any are truly unnecessary, just tell me why and I’ll learn it last. I truly want to master all of these though

Just a reminder that without us (Greeks) this board wouldn't exist.
We're the most based group of people to ever walk on earth.

How can one country be so absolutely devoid of literary talent?

I am genetically Greek. Does this mean that good writing is in my genes? Does this mean that I should start with myself? Tssk, tssk.

Don't mind me, just being the most important nation in the history of literature.
