so let's say i do engineering or science at melbourne and i want to also learn latin, would i do it as a breadth or something? Also do you think latin could be learned within a couple of years if no prior knowledge is held?\
any help will be appreciated.

and possibly. not completely, but to a good level.

It's never too late to learn a language.

personal interest. It would sound cool to know latin i mean who else in society would know it other than yourself
-
Other people who've studied it like yourself.

It takes three people to convey a point of view.
Would that be possible?

I've never understood the desire to learn dead languages but I guess if it interests you then go for it. I'm sure Melbourne would have avenues available for people who wish to do such a thing.

the possibilities are endless with a name like damattore

yer that's what i used to think, why learn a language never used? But i figured, why care if it is used or not, if you know it, well then you know more than the person next to you. It's all about learning something new and doing something that is unorthodox; i.e. for me at least.

lol

find out how long you have to study it to do advanced/post vce Latin.
Also it's possible they have it at the Melbourne Uni summer school.

LOL. Yeah, a working knowledge of Latin *and* a $5000 mobile phone and you'll be way ahead of the pack

Yep. It's rather hard though, 267 different letters to learn, some of them very intricate :P

It'll also improve your understanding of English, and would help you learn other languages in the future, if you wanted.

Free rice is great fun, wasted/used productively many many hours playing that.

So long as you weren't planning on doing an Arts degree, that'll be fine.
-
How do you go/what level can you consistently stay at on Free Rice?

Well this was the first time i played it, i was siiting on level 30 haha
half way there, ill get better :P
hbu??
-
just now, stayed between 45 and 47 for about 30 questions
level 50 is waaaaay harder than 45, i find. at 45 i can guess many of the ones i don't know, but at 50 the options are really similar and seemingly designed to trick you

Now I'm addicted. :P
EDIT: Donated 2000 grains of rice in less than half an hour... With GERMAN! I'm surprised at how similar it is to English, actually. :O

I did an introductory Latin course in my first semester of uni. No prior knowledge is assumed; they teach you the basics. It was a pretty awesome course, and you learn everything pretty quickly.
-
I wish I had done my VCE with all languages; but then I presume there would be restrictions. :(
