If you don't, do you think you would ever want to?

I know some Latin and it's a pretty cool language if you ask me.

Yes, I speak it in addition to 30 other languages very fluently. I also teach a Latin class at Harvard.

@batmanwinsbecausewhynot: He's serious.

My brother had him and he said they always end up side tracking to talk about Batman.

He's 6ft about 5 inches and super buff. I hear he is good with the ladies and he's thinking about serving in the Armed Forces.

Very cool dude indeed.

I don't speak Latin, but I do speak fluent Spanish. So I can read Latin to an extent and get the gist.

I studied Latin a few years. Forgot almost everything except a few words. Helpful sometimes in my field.

I'm pretty sure he did.
My brother told me he's had a LOT of students in his class.

Almost all the Latin I know, I learnt from comics: quid pro quo, modus operandi, etc. I do speak a fair bit of Spanish though so that might help.

@batmanwinsbecausewhynot: Ask your brother if he remembers Got Chah.

He doesn't look like his name but you get the picture.

He later changed it but that's a story for another day.

@maccyd: Back in Sicily. When the parish priest visits here, mass is in Latin. It was how they used to do things before the Vatican changed things up in the 60's/70's. The town where my family is from keeps things very old school.

For their songs/hymns/chants, yeah.
