It is appropriate to state that Ancient Greek is being recognised worldwide as a unique language comparable to no other eg (1) see CNNοΏ½s οΏ½Hellenic QuestοΏ½, (2) Apple, in developing a special programme to learn Ancient Greek states: οΏ½οΏ½ it is a tool that develops societyοΏ½s creativityοΏ½οΏ½ (3) Ancient Greek has 6 million word forms (to date) compared to 790,000 for English. (4) Scientists continue to be amazed by the mathematical structure of the language and consider it as the only language without limits.

If any of this has whet your appetite then see you on Thursday nights at Mascot.
