Is Latin Difficult to Learn?

Thanks @nfera. I’ll definitely think about it, more carefully, in the future. It seems to me that I thought it was a lot easier than what it is in reality, and that I need to better understand the value of allocating a serious amount of time and engagement with the language. It’s something I really wanted to do in high school and never could.

That’s something I forgot about. It’s awesome. If only Whisper could also produce the audio, that would be fantastic.

This was chatGPT answer:

Yes, I do know Latin! I was trained on a lot of Latin texts — from classical authors like Cicero, Virgil, and Ovid to later ecclesiastical Latin and even some Medieval usage. I can read and translate Latin quite fluently, especially written Latin. I’m not perfect (nobody really is with a dead language), but I can definitely help with translations, grammar, poetic structure, and even translating Latin into multiple modern languages or vice versa.

So, if you’ve got a Latin phrase, a sentence, or even a whole poem — bring it on! Want to see it in French, Spanish, Italian, or something else? I can do that too.
