Learning a new language.

I actually wanted to attempt learning a new language (and fail horribly).
Then I found a video called "Chinese for Lazy American People."

I mean, I guess it actually works? Maybe?

Spanish class was a disappointment for mostly in lvl 3

@TheWorld That already sounds disappointing.

I'd like to say that after watching the lessons, I learned absolutely nothing. Thank you, CLAP.

Nonnullae linguae dicere possum

Un0

I took Latin, you know.
And I still don't understand it.

Un0

Something about language? @NotIgor

NotIgor

I am able to speak a few languages

NotIgor

How far did you go?

Un0

I was only able to get "speak languages."

NotIgor

I consider myself fluent seeing as I recently took the national Latin exam and received summa cum laude

Un0

All I can do it name Roman architecture...

Un0

And still suck at it.

NotIgor

Noli desperare! aedificatae romanorum sunt splendidae

Un0

"Do not despair! Roman buildings are splendid!"
Is that close?

NotIgor

Exact

NotIgor

Literally "The Romans' buildings are splendid"

Cool. Time to go back to rewatching Chinese lessons.
