Well, I already tried learning Latin but I was really bad and my teacher said that it would be better for me to learn a language that's still being spoken because I am talented in languages but just modern languages. Do you understand what I mean?
And I'm not sure if I really want to study in Austria - it's just that a friend told me that you can study English there even if you just have the "Fachabitur". I am doing a program to get the normal Abitur but I still can fail, can't I?

Yeah, I understand absolutely what you mean! And I have to admit that I think it's really stupid that you need to have your Latinum to be able to study modern languages - I think that it doesn't make a lot of sense. If people want to do it, they should be free to do so but otherwise they should not be forced.
But well, I guess we can't do anything about that... just take it the way it is.

That's exactly what I think. I mean, I can understand that they want you to know Latin for languages such as Spanish, Italian and co... but not English. In my opinion it's just... dispensable.

I think that's like THE point of Latin.
you never really try to think about what will be after the exam, do you?
though i imaaaaagined that latin sort of helped me to learn how to .. learn.
I don't know really how to describe that. When I was just this little 5th grade's child and I had my first latin lesson which ive been so excited about our very old and wise-looking teacher ;D gave us this paper that says "Lernen Lernen"

Well, the point where Latin really helped ME was with grammar in general. I am studying five languages at the moment and I wouldn't understand a lot of things grammar-wise if it hadn't been for Latin. I mean, just the main principles, like e.g. what a pronoun is, what accusative is, what a noun phrase is, what conjugation is and so on. These are things that you come across in every language and Latin has been very useful for just getting those principles inside my head.

Yeah I think Laltin helps me, too.
Because of the grammer for german the ''Deklinationen'' ,''Konjungktionen'', Anapher and these things.
If I were a student in school who can do the LAtinum I would do this.
Other question 
Next Friday the new Harry Potter Dvd is coming but they say somting about a new edtion about the other first three movies, too.
Do they get come on Friday, too`?
(Sorry about my horribly grammer 
)

but we also had a discussion last time in one of my English classes and there are a few other students who are also studying a Roman language as well and who also thought it was pretty senseless to have to do Latin for that. I guess one of the problems is also that many people just study once to pass their exam, so nothing really stays in their minds concerning Latin.
