Saint Therese Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Anyone else studying it? (or going to?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominicansoul Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 i bombed Latin in the convent. I'm one of the dumbest Dominicans you will ever know. In fact, Mother once quipped that if I became a saint, in 100 years time, I would be known as the "patron Saint" of "dumb Dominicans..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Therese Posted December 19, 2008 Author Share Posted December 19, 2008 I had two years in high school, but being the Dominican that I am, I'm going to start studying it again. I've always wanted to become a Latinist. I am probably the goofiest Dominican you will ever know.. I excell at goofiness. Its a gift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatherineM Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I have enough trouble with English. The only Latin I know is legal latin and forestry latin. If it isn't a corpus delicti under a Quercus alba, I wouldn't understand it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't a fan... it's cool if you're learning it for a reason, but when you're apparently learning it with the intent of reading Latin novels (who has time for that??), there's only 2 other people in your entire class, and none of your friends speak it- it kind of gets to be a drag.
