lol I actually learned something from those. I'm a math guy and that really reminded me of graph theory... sentence syntax is almost mathematical.

Are you one of the ones that asked a question?

Diagramming is a decent way to learn English grammar, but we really should just reintroduce Latin into grade school. As a literature student, I've learned more about English grammar in my Latin courses than in anything else, including two other languages, which is why I think that dhe decline of grammar pretty much parallels the decline of classical education.

That said, diagramming does present a very different, very visual and mathematical way of thinking about it, which works very well for people who think in that way.

Yeah frogo, I'm a math major so the diagramming helped.

I took Latin 1 in my first year and oh MAN was it balls! I mean, it was interesting to learn where most classic languages got their vocab and stuff, but c'mon, does a language really need THREE genders? I thought french was bad enough with just masculine and feminine! :D

Personally I find Latin one of the most entertaining languages to learn.

Maybe it's easy for me because I already know Spanish though.
