No, all my classmates thought Latin was a nightmare.

I think it's because I knew Italian a bit. Aaaand... because the German declension system was familiar to me (my classmates were all only beginning to learn German at that time; they mostly knew English). Yes, I say it's because of the German declension system because when it's about your native language you speak everyday, you don't notice what its grammar is. Many Russian students are horrified by the news that Latin has a case system and they need to learn all those case endings. Like that doesn't exist in their own language!
