hee hee. when it comes to latin i'm an expert. my latin consists of a bunch of useless phrases. lol
catapultam habeo. Nisi pecuriam omnem mihi dabis, ad capu tuum saxum immane mittan. - I have a catapault. Give me all your money, or i will fling an emormous rock at you head.
see. i know all the everyday phrases. lol. I do know more stuff too, but no useful stuff. but then is latin useful at all?
well, it does come in handy when you want to put your feelings in your msn name without too many questions. at the moment mine is Quod me nutrit, me destruit.

Why would people speak Latin nowadays? I've done it for GCSE, and loved it dearly, and the only real reason why I'm considering it for AS is that it's pretty dead.
All the work as such is done for you- you just have to enjoy it. I think it's great to be able to study some of the best authors in their original language. Certainly, it's much more literature than language (oral).

Latin is definitely not dead, nor will it be as long as people continue to speak it, read it, and write it. People speak Latin nowadays because that is a skill involved in thinking in the language, which gets you past the passive stage and actively engaged in using the language.

just switch mensae for mensarum, mensae for mensis, and mensa for another mensis and you have it done. Those are 5 forms, but 3 of them are plural.
Latin has the most beautiful love poetry ever written: a prime reason to learn to speak it.

I'm trying to persuade our school to give us the oppurtunity to learn latin but it's taking quite a long time. I'm waiting till next year when I'l be old enough to take a course. I only know random quotations that my mum keeps saying.

I did Latin from years 7-9. Can I translate this?? (We did this book too!)
Look! In the picture is a girl, called Cornelia. Cornelia is a Roman girl who lives in Italy. Also in the picture is a country house where Cornelia lives in Summer. Cornelia is happy because she at the country house. Cornelia sits under a tree. Also in the picture is another girl called Flavia. Flavia is a Roman girl who lives in the same country house. While Corneli sits, Flavia sings. Flavia is happy because Cornelia is in the country house.
Latin's quite boring, but it helped me a bit with French and Spanish.

Oh the joys of Ecce Romani! *sighs nostalgically*
I'm doing Classics at Cambridge, the new 4 year course as I didn't do Latin or Greek for GCSE/ A Level. We're concentrating on Latin this year before getting to grips with Greek, and at the moment it's kinda scrambling my brain cells, esp translating from English back into Latin. It's certainly a challenge learning to think like a Roman and in Latin and learning its idiosycracies/idiomatic structure. We have to be up to A level standard by April, which is when we take our end of year exams
Still, I am hopeful that I won't actually fail hehReply 18
I did Latin GCSE, but that was some time ago. I really enjoyed it, though that was partly because my teacher was crazy (in the best possible sense!).
