For all you Greek language enthusiasts out there, let me tell you about a modern newspaper that reports world news in Attic Greek. I accidentally stumbled across this newspaper and was wondering why in the world I could understand it. Then I realized, "Hey, this isn't Demotic!" The newspaper is called Akropolis World News (or AKWN is acronym) and it is managed by Dr. Juan Coderch, Senior Language Tutor in Greek and Latin at the University of St. Andrews. Coderch has also produced introductions to both Greek and Latin, which appear at first blush to be worthwhile. To find out more about his grammars, go here. The AKWN is a great way to practice one's reading skills and to learn about real world events in the process. Check it out!
