I need (well, want to) to get the following translated into Latin:
Big Brother is Watching!
Because... well... He is.
Thanks! |

That's Latin, right?

it is so sad, I studied four semesters at university, but it is more or less gone. I only blame myself for that. |

Thanks, Mith. How about something like, "Be careful," or "Use caution," something like that? |

The only Grade 9 latin I remember is semper ubi sub ubi. |

Same here.
Studied Latin for three years in my African British-Style secondary school and I can't remember shit. (apart from the Roman swear words the teacher taught us when the proctor wasn't looking). It was either that or Greek, and we all know what a useless langugage that is. |

You'd be surprised what you can learn on daytime Arirang when there's a quiet spell in the hwajangsil. |

Cura ut valeas - take care of yourself.
There's a Latin Wikipedia with around 3000 articles that might be worth reading sometimes. That's not too many but it's fun to try to use it first before going to the English one.

I figure why bother? I'm never going to a Latino country. |

Latin now has over 26,000 articles.
If you're in Korean and want to learn Latin this is a good book. You need to know Korean to understand it most of the time but it also has quite a bit of English when explaining terms, because it's often easier to just give the English equivalent. |
