We didn’t even get the ones who speak French?
Can we exchange them for those who do?
The entitlement mentality comes all the way from their motherland.
I thought they communicated with drums - Boom-diddy-boom-diddy-boom-boom-boom!
I skipped studying Congolese and studied 2 years each of Latin and French in junior high and high school. Mid 1960s.
Wish I had chosen Spanish which the most useful language now.
Uh, to be honest, yes.
They’ll let you live in a tent if you’ll promise to shout “Death to America” with your neighbors. And help dump the toilet buckets onto the sidewalks.
I took 4 years of spanish. My first job out of school was in south Texas and Arizona. I had to speak spanish to communicate with the laborers. Now I have reached a point where I am thinking, why do I need to learn their language when they refuse to learn English?.
Priests, Deacons, Bishops, doctors, lawyers and Biblical research scholars and professors. To some extent.
Father Mitch Pacwa on the TV show Scripture and Tradition will sometimes say about a passage “Of course the Greek word was —— and the Latin was——but the Masoretic Hebrew scroll used the term——.”
I vaguely knew a little from 2 years of Latin in the 1960s but know even less today.
That is a question we are not allowed to ask. We just are supposed to submit.
And Press 4 for English on the phone message.
People learn it and read it, some write in it; and you can still find a Latin Mass here and there.
But it’s a dead language as far as being anyone’s first.
I like “cadevere excellente”.😀
“Carpe noctem”!
