Latin, can someone?

Latin's a dead language, as dead as dead can be

It killed off all the Romans, and damned near killed ME !

 

Its a shame Old Hippie doesnt drop by any more - I think he was a priest in an earlier life and may well know Latin, French and even enjoy a little Greek on occasion ;)

I studied Latin for 8 weeks in Heidelberg - FULLTIME. In the eight weeks I learnt as much as the kids learn at school in eight years. Afterwards I passed the official Latin exam I needed for to finish University.

 

The 8 weeks where a really strange period of time, but an interesting experience. I learnt that I can learn much more in an extremely short period of time than I thought it would ever be possible (of course it was a special school with good teachers and a perfectly build curriculum).

 

I did Latin like 10-12 hours a day and drank cheap cocktails at night in a student bar, which forced me to have a least one Aspirin the next morning.
