# Good Morning B3tarians
I just got ass-kicked in a Latin test at school. But it was the last one I had to write in my whole life, so sucks to this!
Thank you for your attention.

# sure
Latin is completly useless but you need a "Latinum" for many subjects at german universities.

# we had compulsory latin
gcse in top band at school. The text books were hilarious coz the art work was so appalling... that and the purile grafetti. The best thing of all was the teacher. His polite nick name was 'the anti-santa' as he looked like him, but was a total gobshite.... ahhh those WERENT the days :)

# I did Latin.
The exam was on Pliny, so my killer technique was to memorize the necessary chunks from the works of Pliny and a few bits of vocabulary so I could recognise which section to regurgitate.
It worked, too - I got an A. And my teacher had previously taken me outside and yelled at me that I was so crap I'd be lucky to pass.
Woo for me.

# ha ha ha
that happened to me with German, the teacher was fucking hopeless and always off sick... she actually told me I was thick once. Then came the exams, I showed her... I was the only one in the class to get an A.
