Like would a Roman, ancient Greek or Viking understand the spoken Latin, ancient Greek or Norse taught in universities today, and how close is the Hebrew spoken in modern Israel to the language spoken before the Dispersion?

I've already failed the test twice, and I just don't get it! He won't give me tutorials either he just says visit his website for useful links, and that just makes it more confusing.
I just don't get how everything works out in it.
If anyone has useful tips, please help me. I'm like almost crying since this is the last week for grades and I'm failing....

Basically, I can't pronounces trills and rolled r's in Spanish class and so I lose a good deal of points. However, I believe this is hereditary and that I can't learn it. I can't roll my tongue or do anything like that either, so perhaps I just can't learn it.

But I'd appreciate if someone could help me to whether trills are really hereditary or learned or what.

Does "quickly" have the same meaning as "hurry up" ?

May I say," It is time for lunch. Let's go. Quickly" ?
P.S. I have heard lots of people (not native speakders) saying this...
They use quickly instead of hurry up.....

If possible,plz offer some example.

Okay, so you think that Esperanto has no culture. You think that Esperanto is a dead language or a failed experiment. You think it doesn't have enough speakers to make it worthwhile.
These are the bulk of the reasons given for not wanting to learn the language, and that's fine. It means you haven't done your homework on the subject, but fine none-the-less.
Having said this, what other reasons can you think of to not want to learn Esperanto. I honestly want to see if there are any reasonable reasons out there.

If you need to find out more about Esperanto before you answer, try these sites.

http://www.lernu.net
http://www.esperanto.org

Others can be found by plugging it into your search engine.

The Irish site has an excellent expose here.

Now tell me what you think.
