After three years of Latin and just after sitting my Junior Cert exam in it in June i should be able to translate this :| ... Luckly i'm still waiting for my results :D

"Metella and Milissa departed from the villa early. (er couldnâ??t make sense of that? Thought mane meant to remain? Anyways!)
Metella sought a toga for his son. Afterwards, Metalla and a maid went into a shop in the forum and they caught sight of the best (superlative) toga.
There were many women in the shop and there were servants showing gladiators tunics. The shopkeeper stood in the middle of the shop. The shopkeeper was Marcellus. Afer Marcellus saw Metallus he asked:
â?? What is it you seek master? (sir) â??
â?? I seek a toga,â?� said Metallus. â?? I seek it for my son because we are celebratig his birthdayâ?�.
â??I have many togas,â?� responded the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper then gave a signal to a servant. The servant quickly gave togaâ??s to the shopkeeper. Marcellus showed the toga to the women. Metellus and the maid inspected the togaâ?¦.."

Er, it's probably wrong but yeah, whatever.
I'm wrecked :rasta: and have too mcuh time on my hands. :D

Non, le latin n'est pas mort, mais il a evolué. Je peux parler deux formes du latin moderne.

No, el latÃ*n no es muerto, pero ha desarrollado. Puedo hablar dos formas del latÃ*n moderno.

French and Spanish. And then there is the other modern latin language. Italian.

i know a little bit BUENO MOTA!!!

Italian is just a mixture of french and spanish :-)

Moi je suis francophone aussi. Je ne fume que les bonnes herbes; c'est parce que je suis trop defonce maintenant.

(Me i'm french-speaking also. I only smoke the good herbs ; that's why i am too stoned now).

Actually, French and Spanish are much more closely related to each other than either one is to Italian. French, Spanish, Portuguese, Catalan and a few other minor Romance languages belong to the Western branch, while the rest (most notably Italian and Romanian) belong to the Eastern branch. If you really want to see what a language halfway between French and Spanish looks like, check out Catalan.

wow you know about catalan thats amazing i didnt think any knew i speak fluent catalan because my dad if from catalunya

you are very smart oneirionaut

you say smart things.

i am not smart because i am tripping kinda hard

Cool, I like Catalan. It is a beautiful language. I only wish I knew it. :(

I actually just started reading George Orwell's Homage to Catalonia, by the way.

well actually the catalans per/pronounce (i dunno how to spell it) catalunya

i lived in lleida (or in spanish its called lerida) for one year with my grandmother. my father wanted me to learn the language. i hung out with my counsin a lot hes so cool. but i feel like that it a completely different life right now. i am out there.i dont even know if this post makes sense
