Chinese, because it's ancient but still in use.

What are some good programs/guide for learning a language by yourself?

I’d say Latin. They’re both very similar grammatically, but Latin was way more influential on English and the Romace languages.
Dylan Fisher
If you are talking ancient (as in Attic Greek vs Latin), Latin is way easier and has way more resources and a much larger corpus.
But Greek is infinitely more beautiful, so you pick.

How is Greek any more of a living language than Latin is? Isn't attic Greek as similar to modern Greek as Latin is to Spanish and Italian?

dude just start filling out the Name field

Yeah I don't think you can make a blanket statement that "Greek" is a living language. It's like talking about Beowulf and saying that "English" is still a living language. It is, technically, but the statement is meaningless.

Modern Greek and Ancient Greek are as different as Italian and Latin, more or less.
It's only called Greek because it resides in Greece.
idiot laytard philosophy and theology*

I think you should learn attic greek. That way it'll be easier if you plan to branch out to the bible (originally written in koiné greek) or latin. user here will tell you to learn latin first; but i think it's better to start with the hardest
Xavier Diaz
Definitely Greek. It's the language of the only important philosophy and theology. Literally any version of Greek. Remember that when God walked the Earth, He spoke Greek. In a fundamental way, God is Greek. This is not surprising. Learn Greek.

Duolingo is free and resourceful. Good entry-level courses. Combine that with some good reading material and you'll begin to learn a new language real quick.
