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.

But remember too, that they are more than just words. They are a way of life. So whenever you speak them; speak them firmly, speak them proudly, speak them gratefully. I am an American. ...a tradition
