yes. be warned. but once you master it it will probably be the best thing you or anyone in this board will ever do.

>>8783363
Yes

I decided to completely immerse myself in Latin a little while ago. Very easy language to a native English speaker. Not even native even, just someone with a good grasp. I can now proudly boast having read almost everything Virgil wrote in its original script, without any companions of any kind. Took me about 3 weeks to get to that point, give or take.

this is false, right guys

>>8783440
Nope. I could give you some handy tips, if you'd like.

>>8783442
Was it worth it?
Don't just say yes because it took a lot of time

>>8783442
That would be awesome, thanks man

>>8783432
3 weeks, I don't believe you. Unless you mean you were studying for hours every single day. Even then so...

Not him, but I don't think it's too much of a stretch. Take a look at any Latin textbook and you will see that the language really isn't all that difficult. If you have a decent knowledge of tenses, cases, and other grammatical concepts it is rather simple, and if you speak English and/or a Romance language, it's basically a cakewalk.
