Do you have these days while studying Latin when you feel you've got enough humaliation because of your bad writing and you decide you should totally quit and learn some simpler and usable language... But 30 minutes after that you see somewhere such a beautiful Latin word and you are like "I want to be able to write something beautiful with it someday" and you are loving Latin with all your heart... again.

what your foreign language study says about you

spanish: you are trying to fulfill a requirement

french: you run a hipster blog and are far too defensive of the french language

latin: you value academia very highly but you value dick jokes more

ancient greek: like latin except you also hate yourself

old english: you care way too much about lord of the rings

russian: you are russian

italian: you are a naïve, romantic writer and you want to be a wine connoisseur (when you turn 21)

german: you are an intellectual overachiever who carries a heavy burden of existential angst

finnish: you just really like grammar for some reason

japanese: either you live entirely for challenges or you're weaboo trash there isn't much of an in-between
