[Misc] Can anyone on here speak Latin ?

[Midget]

GCSE back in the day, like others it was courtesy of Caecilius, Matella, Quintus, Cerberus and Grumio (Grumio est coquus). Mensa mensa mensam and all that.

Oddly I think it's probably helped me most with English grammar and spelling, and learning other languages.

When at Goodison I like to pretend their motto means "never satisfied, and not the greatest". And chuckle. To myself. <sigh>

I wish I'd learned a trade.

 

[WATFORD zero]

I mean proper Latin from school. Rees Mogg said it was his first language in his house growing up.

mendacem ?

IT looks like we can't rely on Jacob Rees-Mogg for Latin lessons...

Latin actually isn’t a spoken language anywhere in the World just to be annoyingly pedantic.

However, with an academic background in Law, years of singing in a church choir as well as studying /working in the field of ornithology, I’ve picked up a lot of Latin over the years - I still have a very old English to Latin dictionary that my Dad gave me when I was studying law at university- it was the same dictionary he used when studying classics at Oxford.

My Mum sang for 30 years. with the Brighton Festival Chorus and is a botany enthusiast…

We loved Latin in my family!

Learn Latin? You’ve got to be kidding right. As a graduate of Patcham Fawcett I can honestly say they struggled to even teach basic English.

You were actually singing in the church choir, correct, not signing documents at the church?

Bonum tibi.

Viam ullus estne raedam pro AS Roma Falmer compositus?

 

[OzMike]

No, but I have a good idea what 'Hardus Excreatus' means.

 

[Goldstone1976]

I did Latin at O level in the late 70's - only got a B so pretty hopeless.

That’d be an A* star now.

 

[PeterT]

I got a grade 3 O level thanks to Mr Ross, bit we never 'spoke' Latin. We learned it like a cipher.

I got an A taken a year early thanks to Mr Ross, and my report that year said I had the makings of a Latin scholar. I don’t think I have ever studied or looked at it again since then which is probably a good thing as the job market for Latin scholars is still in the middle of a 2000 year long dip..

 

[Lethargic]

No, but unlike rees mogg I am not a complete twat who thinks remaining in the past is a good thing.

Imagine learning a language where the only known person you can talk to in the UK is JRM

Appropriate for the second leg certainly but for Thursday I hope it will be a case of:

“Apropos”… it’s Latin… You ought to have a basic grasp of Latin if you're working in… Curry's.
