did/does anyone here take latin?

[roboticKID]

what a hard class..

i'm in latin 3 right now, and shit its hard..

[scitsofreaky]

Well, that means you are trying too hard. I managed to get through three years (all B's mind you) with learning very little.
Any specifics.
Here's a phrase for you:
hic est stercorosus (spelling might be a little off, it's been 5 years).

[scitsofreaky]

You say that now, but then you realize that Latin isn't all that useful. If you really need to know what something means, just carry around a Latin-English dictionary (or steal one from the teacher like I did).

Dude, do you know how much poon tang you get when you know latin? It's like moths to a lightbulb. I kid you not.

Then again I don't know latin...

[roboticKID]

i've gotten with chicks before cuase i spoke latin to them, its tight.

[mondeoman]

I heard if you know latin and take any medical class it's a billion times easier.
I have heard this as well.

[roboticKID]

i hear it makes SAT's WAY easier too..

i took latin for three years but had to stop as they couldnt get a replacement for the retiring teacher. how i miss latin...the teacher always fell asleep and told us all the gossip. haha. anyways i find it helps with my french.

It sucks ass. If I was better at foreign languages I would've liked it more. It's the most complicated language that is commonly taught in high schools and colleges. It helps with the SATs a little bit. I took it like five years ago when I was in high school. It's okay. I don't recommend it unless you're good at foreign languages.

[ohlookitspaul]

i took 3 years of latin including AP latin. AP latin is ridiculously fucking hard

[roboticKID]

yeah i'm like a C student in latin..

but i really work my ass off in that class..

[vikingstrike182]

Learn a modern form of Latin, say Spanish? I took Latin, but I din't find it very useful.

[sleepygrlgreen]

what a hard class..

i'm in latin 3 right now, and shit its hard..

ah, i took three years of spanish. i'm in latin 1 now...so i wouldn't be able to help...unless it has something to do with the first declension, possibly second declension neuter. does it????

[milesAway]

I'm taking my third and probably my last year of latin. Its helped with the spelling in French even though its my mother tongue and its helped in German for the structure and cases. Otherwise it hasnt done much to me yet.

You say that now, but then you realize that Latin isn't all that useful. If you really need to know what something means, just carry around a Latin-English dictionary (or steal one from the teacher like I did).

surely it is if you want to have any kind of understanding of language at all? if you think about it, italian, french, spanish, english and more all derrived from latin. i don't know, i just think it's interesting to find links between words of different languages or origins. etymology and all that shit.

that's what happens when you become an english language student.
