I take Latin in school, and can do some rudimentary speaking in it (mostly with a friend of mine, who is in the same class), but I also want to learn Italian and maybe German.

Do you mean writing it? I find it hard to pronounce Latin words by the way the word is spelled

I actually find it incredibly easy. If you know how the various vowels, consonants, and diphthongs are spelled, then you can say the word.

Me too. I am actually able to read and speak it fairly well, along with converse in it rudimentarily.
