You probably know more than me since you seem like you’re talking about taking it in college. I took Latin for 2 years in middle school and for 2 more years in high school.

I dropped Latin basically as soon as I was no longer required to take a language and haven’t taken it for 2 years. Most of what I remember about Latin is what aspects of it were painful and cool etymology fun facts because etymology is super cool and somewhat useful.

This year, since I’m a senior and since the alternative to it would be taking physics (which I don’t find super interesting) I decided to take Spanish. And taking Spanish is such a breath of fresh air after taking Latin. It has Latin’s consistent pronunciation but grammar more similar to what I’m used to with English. So it is super nice to take after taking Latin (especially since so much of Spanish comes from Latin).

Anyway, out of curiosity, fellow Latin-student, which do you find more annoying: the third declension, or the run-on sentences frequently present in the writings of Roman politicians.

Teach me your ways.

I’ll be the best student I possibly can.

I am in my 3rd year of Latin studies as well :nerd_face:

We’re guilty of this too irl… River Avon and Lake Chad anyone?

Home, New Home (didn’t he name some of the other places too)

with names like Hotlands and Waterfall I wouldn’t be surprised

Nope. I’m talking about high school courses, but they were part of a special curriculum so they were not exactly easy either.

The course was primarily centered around grammar (Latin grammar is a living nightmare) but we also had to remember a bunch of words so that’s kind of the reason why I know

I dropped the class for (ancient) Greek, since they made us choose one last year. Greek is in no way easier, but the class only had like 10 people or so, as opposed to a class of 32 for Latin

Neither tbh, run-on sentences can be divided into bits. To be frank, when I translate I only really look at the case of nouns as one of the last checks in a sentemce or if I run into a problem that doesn’t make sense. They’re just there as help to make sure the sentence is translated correctly. The most important form would be nominativus and They’re incredibly easy to detect so once you find that you just look at how the rest of the nouns are connected
