It's so fucking fun to know how many languages are actually Latin with a huge dialect disorder.

Yeah, they are.
Latin's also cool because you can fuck around with sentence order quite a bit. Puellam amat--He loves the girl. Amat puellam--He loves the girl. A real pain in the ass in reading actual Latin, but a golden aspect of the language for poets ("poetic license" is obscene in Latin). Most of the time straight sentences are modeled after the first sentence, with the verb at the end.

2. One of the only times I got a "D" in high school. |

Hated Latin. I was confused on day one and it never got any better. The next semestar, I switched over to Spanish. :)

I sucked at school, slept through some classes, but I rocked Latin :headbang: We only had one year of it at our school, then it was back to straight C's for me.

5. I think it's one of those things that you either get or you don't get |
|
The first day it flew right over my hand and i was playing catch-up from that point forward.
Other than that class, I was an A's and B's student.
Glad you did good in it. :thumbsup:
