A few days ago, perhaps due to my extreme interest in history, I decided I’d like to teach myself Latin. I have been learning now for just under a week and at this point I have got locked away the basic word endings of the first and second declensions, and of the active indicatives of the 1st conjugation. Today, with these in my head, as well as a rather limited vocabulary, I strung together my first proper Latin sentence. However, I am not entirely sure that it makes sense. Of course I cannot trust Google Translate to decide this, so I was wondering if maybe someone with a wee more experience in Latin could have a look, and perhaps offer a few ways to either make it better or correct any mistakes.
