Hey 33girl! I take Latin, and I LOVE the language! When people learn that I'm taking Latin, their eyes pop up and they go, "WHAT?! You actually enjoy the language?!!!"
For some reason, Latin comes very easily to me. I love how logical the language is...you basically only need to understand the grammar, memorize the words, and that's it!! Maybe it's b/c I've taken Chinese, German, French, and Spanish before...but I love languages themselves
. Latin is my favorite class
.
It's just too bad that Latin isn't offered much anymore...my HS is the only HS in the city which offers Latin. Also--enrollment numbers are very low for Latin, so unfortunately, Latin may not be offered at my school anymore after a few years
