#and teaching us enough grammar to read cicero tacitus etc

[sonechkaandthedynamos]

what language did you learn in school and can you actually speak it?

#english and german #a little bit of french when i was in primary school #i speak english and i speak german pretty well now #and i am learning french #i can understand a lot but i can't speak very well #in spain most schools have french or german as a second foreign language #but some of them have portuguese and italian too #i hesitate to add latin and greek because our teachers focused more on translation #and teaching us enough grammar to read cicero tacitus etc #which is a smart move imo #i have learnt so much about grammar in general and read so many interesting texts because of that approach #i wouldn't have understood russian participles had i not learnt latin in school
