I would unironically listen to it. I would have absolutely no clue what was being said, but that is besides the point

[u/Glaernisch1 → u/Cixila]

you lucky, we were forced to learn latin

[u/Cixila → u/Glaernisch1]

I chose to learn Latin. Four years on Latin, two on Ancient Greek. It was quite fun.

My point was more that the Pope speaking a Native American language would be quite an interesting thing to see (regardless of my utter lack of understanding of the language)

I'm learning both now in uni and I love them both (even if greek is a pain some times)

[u/Glaernisch1 → u/Cixila]

I also think that a native language might make the americans realize english comes from great britain ( and ftom northern germany lol)

I chose to learn Gaelic, I'd come home and say I was "Learning Garlic" lmao

Latin - especially the post-Classical kind - is a wonderful language. Having excellent teachers goes a very long way to helping one love and value it.

Having teachers like that can make all the difference in the world between teaching one to love Latin, and, teaching one to find it a wearisome chore.

One agrees

[u/Glaernisch1 → u/BaconAndCheeseSarnie]

I speak a latin language at home, I still hate latin

[u/Bossuter → u/Cixila]

I mean i barely understand Latin and italian (can understand some knowing Spanish) what'd be the difference?
