I've studied it for about 8 years. But most of the learning I've done is more theoretical and from grammar books rather than texts, but that's how most of highschool Latin learning is, I suppose.

Ancient Greek is really quite similar and easy to learn if you've done Latin. However there is an entirely new alphabet to learn and a multitude of accent rules are a little tricky at first.

Yeah, I have only taken one year of really formal studies of Latin at the uni here. However I continued on my own to learn what I could, and I had a bit of experience with it before hand. It's hardly a lot of experience and I know I couldn't hold up much of a conversation in Latin but it's not going too badly either way.

Greek did look quite similar to Latin but at the same time just as different. But that's just going off knowledge from a Greek history course I had, so I shouldn't assume. I think I would prefer to iron out my Latin skills first and foremost though, as I plan on going into at least two other romance languages so that will provide a better basis if anything.

English, Spanish, ancient Greek- last one is a bit less useful, but it is nifty to say I can translate the Iliad.

Yay, someone else who knows ancient Greek! I never took Latin and I didn't find Greek too hard. I've only been studying it for about 3 years now.

[Zetona]

I grew up speaking English and Portuguese, and fluency in the latter has helped me learn other languages, so that I speak French and Spanish reasonably well.
