I have been studying for about a year, very loosely and informally through audio & written submersion, cross reference, and conversation. I have friends who speak ancient languages, not fluently, but quite well. They made me curious long ago.

When I first decided to learn a new language, I started studying Spanish and quickly realized that the little bits of Latin that I already knew had more utility in my practical life, because of the people I know, the subjects that interest me, etc.

What is your motivation?
