I like it for the intimate and sensual feeling, it may be a cliche answer but that's it

>learn Latin as my first language other than English
>really enjoy the straightforwardness of grammar memorisation
>always falter and end up shelving my learning for a while, whenever I start getting into really difficult texts
>go learn French
>try to learn it the same way I learned Latin
>kiiiind of works, but quickly learn that you can basically just mash your face into French nonstop for a while and it'll start sticking, even if you forget lots of grammar stuff or are sloppy with your memorisation
>basically learn to read French by the equivalent method of erecting the bare minimum of a house's skeletal structure, and then blasting it with a hose that fires bricks and mortar for 30 hours until somehow all the bricks and cement get in the right place and it's more-or-less a real house
>go back to Latin
>re-drill myself so I'm back up to speed grammatically
>decide to just say fuck it and jump into the language like I did with French
>get Loeb side-by-side version of Livy
>tfw actually having fun with Latin and actually reading it now, instead of painstakingly translating until I get everything 6000% perfect
