Ah, sure, that makes huge sense

Well, let's take 'tribute' for example. Technically it can be translated to "hołd" in Polish, but that's a slightly different connotation. "Fellowship" being another word we don't have in Polish. I mean we do, but English has other words for that Polish word, so another English word with connotation different than that in Polish. I'm pretty sure there was more, but I can't think of any right now. I also had to brainstorm with bf to type those two, as I was totally blank XD Of course they can be translated in general, but it doesn't really give the same meaning as it does in English.

Ooh, Latin textbook sounds dangerous. Should I counter it with my Sanskrit textbook? XD

Oh please no Latin, I was soo bad in it.^^

But the most languages grammatically base on Latin, so Spanish, Italian and so are easy to learn if you know the rules in Latin.

Unfortunately I was really bad at it.
But english is enough for me, so I can talk to all those nice and helpful people on this site.

@jacob: Huh, I never thought of it like that. Kind of makes sense. If there was no need to name something, then there's no word for it.

And then what? xD

@Toxic: Why was everyone learning Latin but me? XD
I always thought so, too, that it would be easier. But I also hear Latin is hard and all the other languages based on it are easier.

Seems English is enough to communicate, but somehow I'm still unsatisfied with myself for speaking only that and my inability to stay focused on other languages I've been learning

I had to choose between French and Latin, and I don´t like the sound of french language, I don´t know why so please just accept it.^^

So I took Latin, but I was bad at it, but survived it those 3 or 4 years back in school.

Lol, don't worry, I get it. Had the same with Russian through high school. But I had no other choice, they made us learn it not giving us other options
I'm ambivalent about French. One time I'd like to try it. But other times I'm just like ugh! ew! and yuck! XD

I would have learned Russian rather than Latin.
Russian is a harsh sounding language like German, somehow I like that.
More into the harsh sound than the soft ones.

I took Latin and it's horrible, all that cases (declensions ?) to learn o.o It makes it too difficult to "speak".
I'm never gonna try german for that although I really like the sound of it but seriously, to much thinking to do, I'll never be fluent ! xD
And I heard that genders were too fucked up for us latin-based people. French/Spanish/Italian genders are pretty much identical but Germans apparently thought it was too mainstream so the genders are just "random" XD

The most common problem for people who try to learn german is that we have 3 articles, unlike in english the sun / the moon / the Universe, germans have die Sonne (sun), der Mond (moon), das Universum (universe).
I don´t know how it is in other languages.

Yes it feels pretty random.^^
