Smooth sailing from here, right? But there seems to be a sweet singing voice like the Sirens, which speaks to you in a new way. Beware! The verbs once seen as dear have become dangerous active and passive verb forms. New tense possibilities are endless- misery be upon the student who forgets who suffers the action of the sentence! More and more grammar is added to the verbs. New monstrous constructions on both sides become a true Scylla and Charybdis. There are more than simple indicative verbs, there are subjunctive verbs with all sorts of different claws and teeth.
The list of trials and troubles continues, and just as Odysseus spent years of his life on a ship, you too will spend years on the ship of knowledge to understand and navigate the Latin language. The labor is hard, but the reward of understanding grammar, knowing vocabulary, and loving classical culture will make you an epic hero for the rest of your life. Travel well and bona fortuna!
