Latin isn’t even offered in my school (being that I am still in High School), so it is definitely just a hobby for me. Latin, and other languages have always just been an interest of mine, and, so, about half a year ago, after having mastered Spanish, I decided that I wanted to learn something more challenging; thus, I bought Wheelock’s Latin 6th Edition, and I have not looked back since. Incidentally, about a week ago, I picked up a book on ancient Greek and, serendipitously, found the Texkit website just yesterday. What convenience!
Appears to be a good augury, don’t you think?
I would hope so! ;D
I’m try’n to learn before i get a job. I’m only 15 but it always helps to know latin I guess, and it would be cool to know. I wanna be a Theologist or something like that because eventhough i’m not all religous it still is kinda cool.

I do, too!
I remember when I first learned that words (say, French words, for example) stood, not for other words (English words, in my case), but for concepts…it simplified the entire learning experience when I finally got it through my head that not every word in French was going to have an exact equivalent in English.

I know what you mean. I learned that the best way to become fluent in a language was to relate the words directly to the concepts for which they name – rather than to translate them in my head. Also, as you said, some words don’t have an equivalent. I’m trying to do this in Latin. One thing I’m doing is trying to create Latin sentences in my mind that describe mental images without thinking in English.
Latin is a good way to sharpen verbal memory I find too. Memorizing all those declensions and verb endings helps a lot.

I believe you mean “theologian” 
(my BA is Theology
and while I’m here, my interest in latin started way back in grade school where we had to memorize greek and latin roots until we were so incredibly sick of them that we never wanted to look at them again… so of course I took greek (koine) in college and then after that decided to tackle latin…
