Don't! Latin is such a good language, with very clear, very regular syntax and grammar.
I'm still learning it, just online.

No, Latin is still used in some churches...
A language is considered dead if no one is a native speaker of it. Latin falls under this category.

I'm taking Foundations of Latin. It makes more sense then why we had to run a mile that day.
We learned a bit about conjugation yesterday.
Look at the 2nd principle part of the verb, cross off the 're' and then you have your stem. add an ending and you have zee completed, conjugated verb!
Endings
o - means I mus - means we
s - means you tis - means you all
t - means he, she, or it nt - means they
and take off the a off the stem uf the ending you need is O.
Questions?

^^ Well, if you're only talking about the present tense, indicative mood, active voice. Latin has 6 tenses (pluperfect, perfect, imperfect, present, future, future perfect), 3 moods (indicative, subjunctive, imperative), and 2 voices (passive and active). Although not every tense exists in every mood, there're still a lot of forms...
For example, if you want to say "he says" it's "dicit."
If you want to say "he will say" it's "dicet."
If you want to say "he said" it's "dixit."
If you want to say "it is said" it's "dicitur."
Most verbs in Latin are constructed this way; the ending (or, in some cases, a change in the stem) determine the subject, tense, mood, or voice.
I love Latin grammar. It's really elegant.

true, however I just started my first Latin class and it's not even Latin I so I don't know that much about this awesome language.
