another question is, how can I learn Latin? I understand spanish comes from latin so it wouldn't be so difficult
I know of two ways to pronounce Latin:
1) "Ecclesiastical" -- the way Latin came to be pronounced in its use by
the Church. Pretty much like modern Italian. It's pronounced just the
way it's written.
2) "Classical" -- the way scholars believe the ancient Romans actually
pronounced it. I'm not well-versed in that.
The only way I know of to learn Latin is by taking classes in it.
Latin grammar can be rather complicated, you see.
However, if you know Spanish, then you have a big advantage in learning
Latin vocabulary.
