  1. That's interesting. Having been taught, I am the opposite. My understanding is better than my ability to write it. Reading Latin though can be a bit like doing a puzzle. The position of the words is different to English and the endlings of words are often the key to the meaning but some endings can mean more than one thing until you work out the context. It's such a concise language. It can say a lot with fewer words than English.You must be very motivated to be self taught. That's impressive.

  4. I'm cheating. I studied Latin to age 16 but have forgotten so much I can't write in Latin off the top of my head. My husband, however won scolarships in Latin when young, and is still good at it though rather rusty now.

  5. Means: My knowledge of Latin is not great (or literally - "strong").

  6. The language of Jesus was Aramaic. Someone made a film about Jesus and he speaks Aramaic in it but I can't remember who's film it was. Could be Mel Gibson's
