I speak English, duh! Spanish, and Greek...all fluently, although I don't talk quite as fast in Spanish....

What's Greek like?

Umm...I think it's a pretty cool language...lot's of conjugating though. And there are several letters for each vowel. For example, the "ee" sound has three letters: η, ι, and υ..and the "o" has two, etc...the grammar rules are almost completely different, but yeah, I think it's a pretty cool language.

Latin is like that too, it changes words for different usages
ex.
puer= boy
pueri= boys

A pain, right?? And you conjugate nouns too

I actually find latin pretty easy once you get past all the vocab (currently making 60 vocab cards for the new lesson... TT.TT)
uh... puer, pueri is technically the same word, just different endings...

nouns don't conjugate, they decline

Oh, it's easy once you learn it...and all the rules make sense, there's just a lot of them...it's easier for me since I learned it by ear, but I go to a school where they teach Greek as a mandatory class, and all my classmates struggle with the conjugations...

Personally, I find the most difficult part of Latin the overlap in forms between conjugations or declensions, where one has to know to which conjugation or declension a verb or noun belongs in certain cases to be able to understand the case, tense, mood, voice, etc. (I.e. third conjugation future active indicative and the second conjugation present active indicative.)

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about...but ok.

I know what you mean. How many years have you taken it?

I haven't been taught to decline, just conjugate
