My brother learnt Latin in school, which I always thought was pretty pointless, that said the school was run by salesian priests.

Hence the tat reads 'pride in battles'. Works just as well really.

I have GCSEs in Spanish and Welsh, but my Latin is better than either (I can read grave inscriptions and bits and bobs on pieces of art). However, my 'holiday' Spanish and Welsh are perfectly fine, largely because I'd never dream of conversing with the locals in either country.

I did. It was very interesting. And useful too, given the other stuff I wanted to study.

Our Latin teacher was a right so-and-so and had a different way of rectifying any errors.
In class, if he asked anyone to translate a phrase, or whatever, out loud and they got it wrong, he used to stand above them and slap the palm of his hand down, repeatedly, on the top of their heads whilst eyeballing everyone in the class and telling them 'ad nauseam' where the miscreant had gone astray.
One day, one lad was receiving this treatment and as the Latin teacher's hand was descending yet again to make contact with his skull, the idiot stuck his fountain pen in the air and the Latin teacher's hand was duly and painfully speared, much to the amusement of the class........
I got six strokes of the cane from the headmaster, three on each hand, for that little ploy.
