I CAN REMEMBER MY LATIN CLASSES

While in the Seminary i learnt LATIN. The haters we were calling it a dead language. Those guys who knew it so well the CICERO-ES called it the mother to all languages.
True Latin has most stem for most European languages though no one speaks it. Those who know Italian it's a sister to Latin. May be modified.

So in Senior from senior one as usual in the normal practices of a seminary we started studying Latin. The 1st words were Amo which means Love! I hope i recall. 1,2,3 we were supposed to stop Latin in senior two but the administration said we have to carry it on up to S.4.
In Senior 3 we had a humorous teacher i don't want to give details. so we fought a battle to refuse Latin.
We got all the Latin literature into the dust-bin. this was regarded as a strike so the next morning we were suspended a whole class for a week. On return we spied ourselves and lost i remember only two cadres.
Leaving senior 3 marked the end of studying Latin but after losing heroes!!

However, Latin is a prestigious Language i can still recall Latin:
"Oderunt dum Metuant" Let them hate, so long as they fear
"Agis Quod Adis et Si hoc comprehendere potes, gratias age magistro Latinae."Do well what you do and If you can read this, thank a Latin teacher.
"Tempest Bebende!" It's time to drink! "In caelum cerevisiae est nullum, Itaque hic bibemus illum!" (In heaven there's no beer, that's why we drink it here!
"Sine labore nihil" Nothing without work
"Te Amo" I Love You. I guess Rihanna knows Latin!!


Kandekire aho!!!!!
It's so good to know such languages!!!
