Kevin,
I highly recommend working in Classical. If you like grammar, Classical,
especially Attic, will be your thing.

I am inclined to go that way. I have looked through Reading Greek and can
read most of the Greek in the first half dozen sections - apart from a few
vocab items that I haven't come across yet. But with all the talk lately
about the advantages of actually learning to *speak* the language, I thought
modern Greek might have some advantages. I can hear Greek on the radio and
TV virtually every day, so there would be no problem with hearing the
language - speaking it is a different matter as I don't know any Greek
speakers - I live in the wrong part of town.
