You were asked – TMP link On a scale of 1 (I don't speak Latin) to 10 (I'm a native speaker), how well do you speak Latin? The average result was 2.17 |

Much, much better with espanol. That is like Latin for the country folks… Damon. |

Latin as in Amo, Amas, Amat? I remember bits of it from HS, had four years of it. I could probably manage a sentence or two. |

Dammit! I've got a DEGREE in Latin and it's so long since I last used it (other than to translate Medieval Latin for a choir) |

So, Zero isn't an option, eh? That'd be my rating. I recall a friend taking Latin, back in the day, and wondered at that time, whatever for. He was an ancients gamer though, so perhaps that provided some utility for him. |

Yes, the current school system is sad – but my degree course and department disappeared as well. Anyone remember this mnemonic for Latin prepositions? - Caesar had jam for tea
Brutus had a rat so Caesar ad iam forte
Brutus ad erat |
