Hah, you did "Ecce Romani" too? I remember Davus, the slavus britannicus, and I think I remember that Sextus est in piscinam cadet but not with the right case endings I'm sure. And Flavia and Cornelia were always under the tree.

Still, it has been useful :thumbsup:

I had Latin lessons, no modern books though, just dead Romans to translate, oh the horrors of a Latin unseen.

We had to write the date on the blackboard in Latin and say "salve magistra" to the teacher

it is way too much, just think what you could use those brain cells for if they werent clogged up with Latin.


but seriously, I am pleased that I studied Latin, even so briefly and badly, as its a great help with language generally.
