Quite possibly the best language you can learn and certainly the best language to learn first if you plan on learning any other languages. I took Latin in Middle School for about 2.5 years. Great stuff, helps you a lot.
uh.....HOH what grade do you have in that class, as you may know it is a VERY hard class and I do not suck at it, as much as some people, I dont have that bad of a grade.
Gosh, Sov warned you guys not to fight in the forums, do you really want to get banned? NO (hoh is getting a A- in the class)
I was in latin but I stoped doing the homework, and I dropped it, it was a mistake. That class is awsome, I wish I was still in it, and it is great for going into other languages.

I take Latin, but the people who know me know that. I'm getting a B+ which isn't so great in it, but I think my grade might drop even more if I keep not studying.
It's very interesting and useful though, despite it being difficult sometimes.
Latin is great for learning nearly all Indo-European languages including Spanish, French, German, English(a butchery of all languages mutated together), etc. I'm not sure how closely Swedish and Norwegian relate to Latin but I'm sure Chruser can point out any similarities or differences.
I know Latin can't help with Asian languages, but I haven't found Japanese to be all that hard. Introducing myself is as far as I am right now, but it just rolls off my tongue as if I were a Jap myself ~_~
