Default Off-topic, but who speaks Latin?

It's somewhat essential in history as a language, you know, very influencial, 52% of the English language comes directly or indirectly from Latin, just wanted to know if someone can translate something for me if I wanted to know it in Latin.

After Spanish, Latin is going to be my ambition, giving up on the idea of German and Russian for now. Already speak American English, Bulgarian, and some Czech, taking Spanish I, will be taking Spanish II next year and as much advanced Spanish as I can. College, it's Latin, baby! Hopefully I'll be able to pick some up before college. I love learning, I can honestly say that for the first time in my life.

Do you even know what Latin is? I'll tell you right now, it's not what you have to press 1 for.

oh I think it's been quite a long time since mass was held in Latin. And even when it was,
it was a distinct minority who knew what was being said verbatim (oops...was that latin ?).
I know it'd be coarse, but is there no online translation for Latin/English or English/Latin ?

Default RE: Off-topic, but who speaks Latin?

I have used the site, and to test it, I typed once : "?Es el libro?" (Spanish for "Is it the book?") and all I got was "?Is the book?"

Not accurate, doesn't conjugate, just translated words, but cannot account for tenses.

I wanted to translate something in Latin, but when I saw those inconsistencies, then I knew it wasn't right.


Doesn't work, need someone who knows Latin, and how to translate. Knowing only vocabulary isn't how to learn a language. The site is good at vocabulary, but not grammar. It's just a computer, it's limited in it's use.


Hence, I'm here looking to see if someone knows Latin.
