Latin?

Post by spurs14fc »

I take latin in school... and this is my third year of it. But people think that it is stupid because no one speaks it anymore. But without Latin, almost all of the major languages today could not exsist. Anyone have any opinions?

what made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise

for the life of me I cannot believe we'd ever die for these sins

Latin can be useful for tons of things- catholics still have bits of their service in latin, so people still read it. and yeah, if it wasnt for latin, we wouldnt have understood the hieroglypths in egypt

They say that people who learn latin are just all around smarter then the adverage non-latin-speaking-person.

Since you are in your 3rd year, i say that you should just stick w/ it needless to what others say...If you like it then stay w/ it...Latin is a dead lanuage, but that doesn't mean that it isn't useful...

Latin is the root of many modern languages. Its pretty important
Aimed low, settled for less.
