FWIW, I spoke to my German teacher once back in highschool
about taking Latin. Apparently, the Germans still pronounce
Latin as if it were German, or almost so. I remember having
forgotten Caesar's famous quote while crossing the Rubicon,
("Alea iacta est") and when trying to remember it, she went
through the whole present paradigm to herself, saying [jatset]
rather than [jaket], the classical way. Other Germans I've known
seem to do the same thing.
