My point is that Latin is not all what it's cracked up to be in a modern context. If Latin is so great, why was it such a loathsome experience? I was 11 years old when I started rosa, rosa, rosam, rosae.... In six years, you'd think I could find one teacher that could inspire me? BTW I graduated Magna cum, first of my class, so I'm not impervious to learning.
- eru 5y agoThat's certainly evidence, but perhaps not damning evidence? Compare mathematics (or even programming): from first hand experience I can tell you that they are interesting topics, but also that most teachers that most people have are awful. In any case, Latin is just one language amongst many. It's fine, if you don't like it. There's plenty more you can learn, if you want to.
