Have you ever heard of consecutive interpretation from Ancient Greek? A charismatic Greek teacher is reading Plutarch from memory while a schoolgirl is translating into Modern Greek as she goes along. They're having a good walk.

The Greeks themselves in Roman times, for the most part, learned Latin out of necessity and only to the extent that it was necessary for business tasks and administrative communication with public administration, but the contacting languages always "flow" into each other.

Θα μου άρεσε πολύ αν οι Έλληνες που διαβάζουν αυτό το κείμενο μου έλεγαν αν καταλαβαίνουν το αρχαίο απαρέμφατο όταν το βλέπουν και πώς αισθάνονται γι' αυτό. Ως γλωσσολόγος, θα με ενδιέφερε να το μάθω αυτό.

The entire development of the modern Greek future tense can be thought of as a victory of laziness over the Greeks' desire to pronounce all syllables without exception.

The ending -ουν has been used in Greek since at least the beginning of the 10th century A.D., which means that it is more than a thousand years old.

There is a historical anecdote about how the German classical philologist Gottfried Hermann (1772-1848) answered the question whether he had studied modern Greek: "Eine Sprache, die ἀπό mit Accusativo construiert, werde ich niemals studieren."

The five stages of Greek in the texts are Homeric, Classical, Byzantine, Kafarevousa, and Modern Greek. Each text is translated into English and, except for the last, into Modern Greek, so that it can be compared.

You see, if you speak Ancient Greek, the Greeks are likely to think you are an old theologian. Or a foreign philologist. Or a local madman. Or all of the above.
