Are you currently trying to learn another language?

I've always been envious of people who can speak more than one language. The languages I most want to learn are Japanese and Portuguese (Brazilian). My boyfriend speaks fluent Brazilian Portuguese, and I love hearing him speaking it with his family. I've picked up some phrases from him, but would like to learn it in a formal context. Japanese is just a language I've always been interested in and am planning on taking courses in it this fall.

If you are learning one, are you using an app like Duolingo (curious if those are actually helpful)?

@Jokekilla Latin, that's unusual to be able to speak it. I love ancient languages, but I feel like I'd only be able to read them without anyone to speak to.

@Jokekilla I love Rome, hope to study abroad there next year. Have you read any ancient Roman writers? I've studied some poems of Catullus and some writings of Tacitus. I'm hoping to take some more courses on it.

@HiFiRaver I think you'd love it. I've read poems of Catullus but really haven't dove into Tacitus. But i know Virgil and Ovid were the biggest ancient rome writers

@Jokekilla My school offers a class on the Aeneid, so I may take that one if I can. 🤔

For now, my favorite Catullus verses:

Vōs, quod mīlia multa bāsiōrum
lēgistis male mē marem putātis?
Pēdīcābō ego vōs et irrumābō.
