Most of you know that I have been playing with learning Latin again. I like it, but it is frustrating. I don't particularly enjoy conjugating verbs, but it is cool when I begin to understand what it is going on. Declining nouns makes my hair fall out, though. It really makes the language powerful and clear, but learning it is so repetitive! Declining nouns still has not found a slot in my brain, yet.
I do enjoy translating stories, though. It's fun. I also enjoy things like LOLCats in Latin. Here is an example:
nolite fieri servi hominum = Do Not become slaves of men
Ha! I can so hear a cat saying that!
Here is another one:
Non parvum est seipum noscere = It is no small thing to know one's self.
