I agree! English would be very difficult for the Romans. Latin is extremely orderly and simple. English is made up of a mess of spelling and “conjugation/declension” irregularities.
I’m so glad that I’ve learned Latin as an English speaker rather than vice versa!

That’s the whole bishop of it though - the sometimes ambiguous word order(for me). English makes emphasis obvious by stresses on certain words vocally but latib, bar the few O, Episcope! does this with word order.
Look how many things the ablative can do without preposition. I’d hate to point out the correct one in speech.
Thank you Magistra!
I really think that if one wants to understand a culture
he should learn how these people used to think, how
they used to link the ideas together, how they organized
the world inside their minds. There’s no better way to
understand a concept than using words, new ones, with which
we can understand different views of the universe, using them
as tools to reach this new concepts. Understanding them
truly inside our minds. being fluent in different ideas. 
For those with a pedantic streak:
Project Gutenberg <promo.net/pg> has available a rather interesting academic book called “The Roman Pronounciation of Latin”, by Frances E. Lord. It’s an attempt at a detailed discussion of how Latin was pronounced in the Classical period. It is available at:

Its a 117 KB text file. It contains plenty of passages in Latin, so is probably not for the beginner.
