If you intend to put together some Latin of your own, though, make sure to run it through someone who understands the language (unless you do), because to someone who does, there's nothing worse than a bunch of Latin words from a dictionary strung together. Same with Quenya or something, except hardly anybody will notice...

He does have a point. somethign you could look into would be making a language of your own. Alot of extra time, but interesting none the less. IT doens thave to be a fully functionign language either. Esperanto might be a good choice too. Easy to find some one to check over your work. Though this will me there are more semi familiar words. SO this could be a bad thign.
