Did you learn latin in high school? Is it common in your counry?
Me, yes, for two years, but it is not common to be taught Latin in Poland.
I find it difficult to learn for a slav but it really helps to understand roman languages a little even without learning them.
eu sunt latin
>Did you learn latin in high school?
Yes
>Is it common in your counry?
Only the middle class and higer class learn it, the pleb learn Spanish

Both latin and ancient greek.
No use in real life, just personal interest.
No.
It's better to learn sanskrit and discover that the world is not only Western
No, I don't know of anybody who took Latin.
>Did you learn latin in high school?
Yes, for four years in high school.
>Is it common in your country?
Not that common as only a handful of high schools have it, but it is found both in state-owned and church-owned schools.
>I find it difficult to learn for a slav
I think it depends more on the language complexion, I found Latin to be as complicated and structured as Slovene, e.g. they share grammatical cases, so it wasn't that hard to get into it.
I still sucked at learning it, but mainly because it's dead, so there's no external motivation to do it, unlike languages where you go "if I study this, I can visit their country one day without feeling awkward talking to people", and it works.
didn't learn it in school but I wish I did
now in engineery class I don't know if it's even worth it, even for curiosity
>Romania are you latin?
>DA
Yes. No.
Caecilius est pater.
no and no
>learning a dead tongue
fucking hell dude
No. No.
Lingua latina non benis canina
Yeah, it's common in a certain type of high school. But spoilers: [[[[[[[[[it's a huge waste of time]]]]]]]]]

You learn Latin in the last 2 years of high-school only if you choose humanities as a "direction".
Used to be common.
I wanted to learn it, but my school phased it out the year before I started there so I had to pick something else instead.
Have half-heartedly attempted learning it on my own but haven't made much progress.
Any advice for learning Greek on my own? How do I prepare myself to read Anabasis?
you can study sanskrit in highschool?
>Did you learn latin in high school?
Yes
>Is it common in your country?
It used to, it's not any more. Only private schools can make it mandatory.
Ancient greek may be studied but it is even more patrician.
I took courses in latin from 14 yo to 16 yo.
I guess latin is to us what old church slavonic is to you.
Is it a thing too ?
I think it's more connected to Orthodox nations, since they write in cyrillic script, but I could be wrong.
Slavs are more of a language group than descendants of one civilization, so tradition of my ancestors differentiates a lot from let's say tradition of someone whose ancestors are Ukrainian.
For some reason or another, Slovenes have a strong Latin tradition, perhaps that's because of close proximity to the heart of the old empire, while old church slavonic barely touched these lands, outside of maybe Carinthia (Austria) back in the early medieval period.
>Is it a thing too ?
Not really, even in the Orthodox cunts. Latin and Ancient Greek were languages of powerful and scientifically advanced empires while Old Church Slavonic is just a Slavic dialect Cyril and Methodius translated the Bible on. I don't think it makes any sense to compare them
>I find it difficult to learn for a slav
What? In some aspects Latin is very similar to Slavonic. Just compare conjugations for example.
>Did you learn latin in high school?
yes, middle school too for a year
>Is it common in your counry?
in theory, it's one of the 4 most important classes for humanities students (you get to choose between science and this when you apply)
science students don't study it at all
mandatory in the last year of middle school
nobody really gives a shit about it though
yes 2 years
havent learned shit
>es tote prudentes sicut serpentes et simplice sicut columbae
Yes, I still remember the first ten word I had to learn in my first year.
dux (nom.) - ducis (gen.) - m - leader
dolor (nom.) - doloris (gen.) - m - grief
hostis (nom.) - hostilis (gen.) - m - enemy
etc...
Learnt it for 6 years. Children attending Gymnasium usually have at least the choice between Latin and French. ... I took both, and Spanish too.
I don't know much anymore but I'm glad I took it.Taught me to derive the meaning of a word by its context, some better style in German and also [spoiler]it was fun[/spoiler]
No
But It used to be taught in schools in the 50's just to follow the mass which was in Latin.
>Did you learn latin in high school?
No, taking it in uni though
>Is it common in your counry?
Not that I know of, I would be surprised if any public schools still teach it. When my grandmother was in school it wasn't uncommon for them to teach latin or greek
a little, I don't remember it though.
I wish I had more serious classes of Latin.
Yes, for two years. It's not common either because to study Latin you have to choose it over Maths.
No, but for a Romance speaker with enough self teaching and knowledge of how Latin works there is no real need of full lessons.
Yes, Rosa, Rosam, Rosae
Either I'm bad at languages but I never learned or remember anything from languages courses
Don't worry, even Slaves will learn lingua latina
i'm trying to learn it. do you know how different grammar wise it is form Spanish/Portuguese or English for that matter. like... i heard it dosnt matter the order words go in a phrase. is it true?
>Did you learn latin in high school?
No.
>Is it common in your counry?
No.
Is (Ancient) Greek common?
Yes of course. Both in middle and high School. Can you understand a bit of italian having studied Latin?
yes, but that's almost like german, where only the primary verb needs to be at the second position and the secondary verbs at the last position. You can understand the function of the word by its case, which English or Spanish lack (dunno bout portuguese).
same as Spanish. Spanish and Portuguese are the same 2bh.
