I was forced to take 4 years of Latin and I've basically reverted to "Salve Magistra, Italia Peninsula Est" levels. It never clicked with me. Every week was a struggle, I was a terrible student, and I remember jack shit. At best it helped me remember the names of stuff in anatomy class, which was actually interesting. I think the way it was taught is the worst fucking way to learn a language, like most 19th century educational theory.
