I'd like to join your little forum. Firstly, hi! Nice to see other students ploughing through the exorbitant workload of GCSE Latin. I also joined halfway through year 10 and caught up so I feel you. Now, I wanted to ask. Is anybody else doing the sources exam? I'm afraid I'm quite confused by the matter - having had no teacher input - and would be eternally grateful to whomever might be able to offer me any guidance. (I did Catullus and Ovid too and the 8 and 10 mark questions were a gift. Some of the smaller questions were meaner like the Jupiter one which I thought was unreasonable; the first language paper was kind of easy when you compare it to the second which was clumsier and took some working out and deciphering). If anybody could give me any advice, I'm afraid, having attempted a few past papers, I'm rather distressed.
Many thanks,
Andrei

This.
Minimus was amazing:
Noli tangere Rufe!
Noli lacrimare Rufe!
The nostalgia... my days - Year 5 and minimus was so fun.

Thank The Lord someone else knows Minimus!
It was what brought me to love Latin, and I was fascinated that we got the word York from Eboracum...

I honestly think I would cry with happiness if I got an A* in Latin For me it was definitely the subject that needed the most amount of work, so fingers crossed #YouBetterPrayForMe 😂😂 Oooh look at those hashtags comin' back 😂 Aww you were alone in Latin class 😢 That must have been a tough journey; I think I would've died if I hadn't had the others in my class to complain about how hard it is 😂 Oh and don't worry m8, you can always rely on me to stalk you 👌🏼

Yours sincerely,

Your stalker xx 😂😂 I crack myself up 😂

Believe me, I still get to make out that Latin is hard to my fellow people; in French lessons, I'd often complain to my teacher that she only said "present verb", and not "present indicative first person singular intransitive verb" 😂😂

I highly doubt I'll get an a* in Latin, but at least I know it will be one of my best grades.

From,

Your stalkee xx 😂😂😉🙈

In terms of "knowing my stuff", that's just from having studied language as a form for a long time 😂
