@emilen2 I am incapable of reading Asterix comics as i am in the U.S.

@sethboy66 Yes, it is french, but around 50 BC almost all of Gallia was occupied by the Roman Empire. ;)

Read your Asterix, sir. Lutetia Parisiorum

[sethboy66]

@emilen2 Wait, I have only been taking french class for 3 months now but I am pretty sure Asterix is a french comic book, am i right?

[artman40]

@ThePyroNympho So it has gone cheaper.

[ThePyroNympho]

@artman40 it's worth about 1/4 that of gold

@boiledhooker I wouldn't recommend it. The basic grammar seems very easy but once you actually start to memorize all the declensions and whatnot, it quickly stops being fun. If you don't believe me, read up on the third declension.

I'd like to learn Latin.
