I just read Green Eggs and Ham to my younger brother... in Latin.

Wait, there's a NETFLIX series??? No. I have not.

Why, thank you kindly. My Latin skills also include cursing death upon the heads of my enemies.

Well, my mom's forced me to learn it since I started school, but I was allowed to drop it this year in favor of learning Japanese instead. I never really liked it. But we actually HAVE a copy of the book IN Latin (to this day I have no idea where my parents got it) and I just use my leftover Latin knowledge to pronounce it... approximately correct.

Lol. It's my little brother's preferred version of the story, for some reason.

I've actually taken a couple of years of Japanese myself. It's pretty rusty but I still could hold a really stunted convo and my hiragana knowledge is still totally intact, as is some other stuff.

Why did you have to learn Latin though? It's a dead language.

Dont accidentally summon demons!

Because it sets down a pretty good foundation of knowledge. A lot of languages are derived from Latin--for instance, my sister is fluent and Spanish, and learned EXTREMELY quickly because she'd learned Latin previously.
I never really got into it, the program I used was pretty dry and uninteresting. I was really glad when I dropped it, and I'm having a blast studying Japanese.

I have no need for demons. My younger brothers exist.
(Jk, they're actually very good and I love them.)

Okay, that makes a lot of sense. I had the chance to learn Latin in high school and it was like reviewing a vocabulary list all the time. I don't blame you.

Best I could do is Pig Latin.

I remember my Latin course from the first year in university. I hated it. On the second thought, I don't remember my Latin course.
