German or Latin?

<p>

</p>

<p>Woah… Have you ever truly translated Latin poetry or prose… Talk about a headache.</p>

<p>^ For a person with the sn “Salve!” you aren’t helping Latin’s cause much…</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I can honestly tell you that that is certainly not higher level Latin. Even after 5 years I don’t know all of the rules and can’t translate with ease.</p>

<p>Read my first post. I find the language to be almost pointless to study and I have just realized this after my time with it.</p>

<p>@Salve: sorry, I was assuming that the topic starter was talking about learning high school Latin and not Latin at university level.</p>

<p>^Then I understand, I was just assuming Latin and German in general. High school Latin is very easy for the first two to three years. Then AP Latin… gets interesting. Get above that and it’s death.</p>
