Wanting to Improve my Latin
 
I'm looking to improve my Latin as well as my Japanese. I help by teaching English if anyone can help...PM me

You mean ancient Latin? hahahah I highly doubt anyone would want to improve in that since it's no longer spoken anywhere, unless you count the Vatican city. lol

I like it because it's the root of most european languages, it does help in the learning of most euro languages. That and I like the ability to talk to a handfull of people in a way that no one else can understand...like the windtalkers or whatever..

I might be able to help you learn Latin. I was in Latin my Sophmore and Junior years of highschool. I only got to finish Latin I & II since it just got somewhat boring, so if u think i can help then alright.

Latin will only help you if you're a spelling bee champion or want to become a doctor, my dear. :)

Yeah I took Latin I and II in highschool as well, problem is that I can't remember most of it unfortunately. But yeah I think together we can remember enough to get something.... And that is mostly true Yuna, I just like learning anything that intrigues me, hun. However, my main focus will be on learning as much Japanese as possible still.

I am in my second year of Classical Latin, it's not my favourite subject but I'm actually pretty good at translations. Anyways, what is your request exactly?

Excessum 11-24-2007 12:12 AM

I know a thing or two, yet, my grammar is weak, so i can only help you to translate something >_<

latin is not so common anymore but it can come in handy if u studie sciense becouse of the names of animals and chemistry are in latin. carl von linné started to name plants and animals in latin. good luck with the studies . hugs Ito

That's just because I'm always right. ;) :mtongue:
Anyway, I'm going to need to know Latin because when I get into college I've been planning to work in the medical field.
So, hey, maybe I DON'T have to be a spelling bee champion to know Latin.
