"All that money wasted on my Aramaic lessons! "

It's never a waste to learn another language, especially one associated with The Faith. With your knowledge of Aramaic you'll be right at home at a Maronite Liturgy or for that matter, at any liturgy which uses West Syriac which are mostly those of the Non-Chalcedonian Oriental Orthodox, though I sincerely doubt you'll like what you hear. :) Aramaic, btw, like Slavonic, Arabic, Coptic and Ge'ez accurately translates the Greek the NT was written in. Western Latin and Anglo Saxon based languages generally do not.
