Alright so I guess I found the time to post something here again after such a long time. So basically it's because of our semestral break (Oct. 30 - Nov. 8) that I am able to give you this post as of today and update this blog about myself.
Now, I don't really have any new poems up but I'm sure I'll put something up here if I got something new. Speaking of poems, I didn't advertise my latest poem (which was done a month ago). It's title is Fallacy, and uh... I'm getting lazy again so please if you really want to read it, just check out my site at DA. I apologize for the lack of description and preview, so please bear with me.
Setting that topic aside, I've decided to try and learn Latin. Don't worry, I'm not going for the church nor am I going to be a priest or whatever. I just thought that Latin is cool and would help me learn other languages since almost all of the Romance languages (French, Spanish, Italian, etc.) originated from Latin. Did I mention that 60% of English is composed of Latin? Aside from that, Latin helps in developing reasoning and deduction skills since it is analytical by nature. I guess that would help me into thinking like Sherlock Holmes a bit. Hahaha...
Anyways, I've learned all of those info above from a guy named Brent Hatfield who actually has videos in youtube that teach people Latin. I'm still at the beginning portion of the lessons but I'm sure that I'll be speaking it in no time if I am determined enough. Aside from that, I got a PDF format of Benjamin L. D'Ooge's Latin for Beginners which I think is a great textbook for me to learn it.
However, I may need some assistance with this new addiction of mine. I'm looking for a book entitled Wheelock's Latin because I've heard that it really helps a lot, so if you see it or have it, please let me know. Thank you. Now the next thing is that for a person to be able to master a language, he/she has to use it, right? So I need someone who knows Latin, so that I could learn from him/her and be able to practice. Now I know that you're gonna drag me to some church to meet some priest, but I'll only comply to that if and only if the place is near.
Anyhow, guess that concludes my update. I know it's boring so if you didn't really like it, I apologize for it, and I remind you that this is my blog. Have a nice day!!! XD
