I'm curious to see your thoughts :)

Personally i learn it just for fun, and i like how similar romance languages are to Latin.

Tbh, it isn't an active pursuit for me. I picked up a little via medical terminology, and the colloquialisms that have crept into english usage. So, I'm always interested in more little tidbits to pick up, but I don't put a ton of time into doing so. Full on filthy casual.

Eh that's okay, Latin is mostly learned for fun anyway. And i think it's fun being able to read old scripts and talk in an obscure language.

This community actually helps me learn Latin, due to me having to research for posts and interacting with you guys in Latin.

Glad to see this comm is big enough for me to actually get replies, last time I tried this I got 0 replies in 24 hours ๐Ÿ˜‚

It's definitely a slow community :)
