Modern Greek or Ancient Greek?
I studied classic philology for few years and I do not recall anything called Old Greek, thou I did study Ancient Greek for a year or so and Latin for 2 years (do not remember a thing any more. A bit of Latin, but Ancient Greek is just too fucked up for me)

I think Ancient Greek.
I translated it literally from Netherlands to English cuz I didn't know what it was xD
But it probably is Ancient Greek cuz it's not the Modern Greek that's used in Greece now,

Be pro. Take German.

YA! German is awesome. I wish I'd done it instead of Latin :(

It would be more useful as well :)
Thou I do not share the same thought about German language, I do not like it, I hate the sound of it. Maybe I dislike it because of my primary school German teacher, but I truly dislike it.
and I quote I remember about German language (do not fully agree about what he is saying about Germany so I will not post that part as much as possible):
"..and you can't eat the food [in Germany] because you would have to complain about it and that would mean speaking German. It's a disgusting language, nobody should ever speak it. Even Hitler was vegetarian, that's how bad the food is. And you couldn't speak German because it's a horrible sound, it sounds like typewriters eating tinfoil being kicked down a stairs. Somebody is talking to you in German, they're saying 'Hackaliekielahachal oHAAAAch' and you're thinking 'What is happening to you from behind and how can we make it stop? Please go away.' Now that's not prejudice, that's just observation.” Dylan Moran (my favourite stand up comic)

should be it then. And I feel truly sorry for you having to learn it.
I simply do not understand the grammar, because most of the rules are made for 2-3 words and other words that goes under the same rule are exception and you have to learn and all the forms they come in and all the possible translations of the words (I had to get into philological aspect of the language not only the basic level of this language, I hope you do not have to do that)
JoonasTo:
At least German beats English.
Having to study English would have been such a pain, thank god I learned it without studying.
harpy:
English is a lot simpler then German.
I had to learn both of them
