Hi, Louis.
You bet they should, assuming that time and money is not a factor for them.
Otherwise, it would make more sense to spend one's time and money on Randall
Buth's Living Koine:

Subject: [B-Greek] Should someone learning ancient Greek do Rosetta Stone
Modern?
Hello all,
Someone in my class today asked me a question. "Should I go through Rosetta
Stone's modern Greek program at the same time I am learning Koine Greek?" I've
read that about 60% of NT words occur in modern Greek. So would doing Rosetta
Stone concurrently hurt/help. Would it confuse?
I've read statements that say there was more change from Homeric Greek to Attic
than there is from Koine to Modern Demotic. Do we tell people learn either Attic
| Koine | Homeric then learn the other dialects? (That seems to me the best
approach. I know of no book that teaches different dialects side-by-side for the
beginner - but it also seems to me that there is a lot in Modern Greek which can
be used by the Koine student. There is no Koine version of Rosetta Stone. So
what should I say / have said?
