Latin is not cool in any way. I know this from experience.

I was going to learn Ancient Greek this year. I decided to do Philosophy and ethics insted though because I thought they would help me more in the future but I do intend on going back to learn ancient Greek in the future.
My mate is doing it now. He says it’s dead hard but the good thing is you spell how you say. Where as English most of the words have silent letters in and what not.

Yeah I want to learn ancient Greek. Just to sound clever!

I saw that QI episode, as usual it had me in stiches – although I’m annoyed that I forgot to go and visit the QI Bookshop when I was in Oxford.

I don’t think Latin would be particularly useful, although it does help in understanding some other languages, but it would be cool to speak and write it fluently.

There was a comment on QI last night about taking Stephen Fry along to a pub quiz and pretending he was someone else who just looked like him.

Until he started swearing in Latin

meh, i’ve never really seen the attraction of learning latin etc. Much better to know many usable languages. But I suck at that too.

My friend mike is currently learnign latin, but he knows almost every language under the sun, and muchos respect for that
