Then you'll be better at it than I am, for sure. I have forgotten so much of my Latin, but it did make for reading the material interesting and comparing the various translations. I bet you'll enjoy that.

As with any language...use it or lose it and it's hard to use Latin very often.

I am an American. ...a tradition
