Why study ancient Greek?

Studying an extinct language may seem bizarre for some people, but the benefits of that will definitely surprise you. Learning ancient Greek will not only help you understand better the Greek language, but also improve you vocabulary and your grammar comprehension in English. That is why ancient Greek is the foundation of many English words, from alpha 'adamant' to zeta 'zodiac'. In fact, a great portion of English vocabulary and almost 50% of technical and scientific terms are derived from ancient Greek.
