I'm taking Latin I right now, but I'm picking it up really quickly. At least I think.
That passage that the girl posted is actually quite easy to translate, even with only a few weeks of Latin under my belt. :3
Though my Latin teacher is a Nazi. =/
Meus magister Latina est vaccam. :3
Ohohohh. Okay. I have a really funny joke for you guys that I came up with at 4 am one morning because my medicine screwed up.
We all know that nouns have to agree with their adjectives in gender, number, and case, right? Well, technically, not being grammatically correct, if you were to say 'good field', wouldn't it be 'boner ager'? XD I got my classmates to laugh on that one. Of course it'd be bonus ager, but still. biggrin

Ha, Latin... Never learned it, but caught some phrases:
"Errare humanum est"
"Non scholae, sed vitae discimus" (sp?)
"Cogito ergo sum"
and "Salve magister!"
That's all I know... Oh and "puella" means "girl"?

Hey all! I'm just literally popping into every thread of langauges I can understand!
Anyway, I did Latin GCSE, i.e. two years ago back at secondary (high school for Americans?) school. I think I've forgotten most of it, but I'd like to keep it relatively fresh in my mind, thus I am here and will try to pick up whatever I can!

Proudly--requiem aeterum means 'Rest eternally' or, if you switch the meanings around a little, you can come up with rest in peace.
But, just for entertainment, this is pretty;
"Parce metu, Cythera; manent immota tuorum fata tibi; cernes urbem et promissa Lavini moenia, sublimenque feres ad sidera caeli magnanimum Aenean, neque me sententia vertit."
Jupiter to Venus.
Heh. I remember early Latin. One of the best things to happen to our class was sum, esse, fui, futurus, or 'to be'.
Our teacher stood up at the board and wrote (and spoke) the root of fui. Which would be 'fu' or as he said "F-U"

Heh. I'm taking it as a high school credit foreign language class at my school currently. My teahcer's fun. She has us get up and do a lot of stuff. Plus, we only have one homework a week, chosen out of a list. One of them's writing a song in Latin. Some of the easier ones are doing flashcards and such. Oh, and we also learn Greek and Roman mythology in the class. (Which is, of course, basically the same thing.) She describes it as "Jerry Springer on speed."
Latin's fun. whee

Mythology and culture are the reason I took Latin in the first place. biggrin
I wouldn't describe it as Jerry Springer on Speed but...eh, there are three things you need to know.
1. Who screwed who
2. Who killed who
and 3. Who screwed who in what form...
Danae, Pasiphae...yeah....
