I sort of speak latin...as in I took 2 courses on it in uni, but even if I didn't it probably would have been relatively easy to guess, I love how similar latin is to English!!!

I did two years of classical Latin in high school and then a semester at a local college. I remember a lot of structure but my vocabulary is gone. Sed, dico latinam.
