[B-Greek] Difficulties of Learning Greek

 Two relatively minor points:  German is not a Romance language, but it is,
as an Indo-European language, related to Greek.  I found it interesting
lately to learn that the closest relative of Greek is probably Armenian.  I
had previously thought it was probably Indo-Iranian.
 
And please remember to remove unnecessary portions of the post to which you

Just about any romance language, really (French, German, Italian, even
Spanish). They all have similar characteristics, seeing they 
Are based on Latin, and Latin has similar grammatical forms to Greek.
