Did you have the option to learn Latin in your high school?

What for?

Nice. I read a statistic that only 30% of Walloons took Dutch classes in high school though, while in Flanders 99% study French.

It's the root of almost every European language.

WE

So what?

Started latin at 13 stopped at 18. Don't remember much of it.

If you are interested in languages and history it's fascinating and can help you learn other languages.

What a waste of time.

You'd literally gain more from shitposting instead.

cracks me up every time lol

There is no point in learning any European languages but English and, maybe, German.

Yes and I did, but my teacher got breast cancer and there were some really weird scheduling issues anyways so it basically ended up being self-study with no supervision. Also took French which was similar because it had the same teacher but because there were other students in the class we just watched Ratatouille every day.
I also had it in middle school too, but weirdly enough they ONLY offered it in 6th grade and then made you pick either French or Spanish when you got to 7th.

I don't remember any of my Latin and my French is only decent enough that I can watch videos without subtitles and get the gist of things.

Like people only learn things because of merit. Also translators exist. Travelling is far more fun If you know the language.

Sounds like an unfortunate clusterfuck.

no, what would be the point?
already speak a latin language.

In 6th grade I could decide between Latin and Fr*nch, so I chose Latin.

Retarded post, no wonder is from a fellow argiebro

>no argument
great

Language is a tool, nothing more.

In Spain you can choose one of Classical Latin or Ancient Greek if you go for the Humanities path at baccalaureat (i.e., eleven and twelfth grades). The other paths (Sciences, Technology and Arts) do not have such offer.

Cool poetry and books. And church stuff too

I did
It got me into the uni I wanted as well so that's nice

Tell that to the polyglot community.

Well what does that has to do with anything? If you already speak romance language it doesn't mean you can't learn latin.
Also french ad romanian are closer to latin than spanish is.
So your post is retarded, egocentric and very uncultured , just like all argentines

That's probably becasue Dutch is way less relevant than French

nope

It's because Francophones are arrogant and bad attracties learning languages.

At*

>being this retarded
must be fun being 12
lmao

There are 25M dutch speakers as opposed to half a billion French speakers, I think relevancy is a big factor

Actually have an history unlike your poor excuse of a country

I maybe use French once a year but we still learn it because this is mainly a bilingual country. That your government doesn't make it mandatory to learn Dutch but still accepts large amounts of transfers every year is a disgrace.

I took two courses. The material and teacher were shit. I also took one course in German and managed to learn much more.

Yeah, I was actually impressed by the French skills of the general population of Flanders, almost everyone could speak very decent French. But when I asked the Wallooons about it, not a single one of them gave a fuck about Dutch, pretty rude of them if you ask me.

It is disgusting. I do agree with you and make sure to remind every one of them we live in belgium and Dutch si the first language. I even tricked my brother into picking Dutch in school rather than English, since he'll get to learn it anyway enventually

I had Spanish, English (plus, cool kids English class), Latin, and Greek. Wish I lived in Catalonia at the time, I'd pretty much been studying only languages.
