veloman Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Did Latin at school and hated it but now very glad I did it as it really helps with understanding modern European languages (not least English). Funny you should say that 'cos that is what I have found - Latin can help with any of the 'Romance' languages. Are declensions easier than conjugations tho' ? Now where is that Latin Primer !! Does anyone still study Latin at school I wonder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I can speak a basic form of conversational Spanish whereby the native speaker will be fascinated to learn that "I had a Mexican girlfriend", "I like cold beer" and "When does the train leave?"
