People can choose between roughly three kinds of education:
VMBO: worst education for the stupid people (4 years)
HAVO: mediocre education for the less stupid people (5 years)
VWO: best education for people who want to look like they're not stupid (6 years)

Yeah, actually Gymnasium, which is a harder specie of VWO and where you have to learn the Ancient Languages.

Latin and greek? I am learning Latin myself and I am fascinated. I love to translate Ovid (ars amatoria, amores, metamorphoses) and Vergil. It's amazing.

Latin and Greek indeed. Ovid's metamorphoses are quite dull, I'm sorry. We're readin' Vergil at the moment and the Aenaies are great. The Iliad is ten times better though.

The oldest language my high school offers is Italian.

...But I love Italian  ;D

I studied some Italian as well.
Latin is nicer though in my opinion.

Italian has more flow than Latin. But I still wish I could take Latin at my school...

Correct.
But Italian grammar is built this way that it's an exception if a word isn't an exception, isn't it?

No, most of Italian is very regular. More than I expected, actually.

Okay. Then my Grammar book was unnecessarily difficult.

you think Ovid is dull? OK might be. I really would like be able to translate in greek. Ilias must be great.

Well his stories are interesting, but we've had to read some much of him that it gets kinda dull.
And Greek is far more fun than Latin.

It was great if my school would offer greek. 20 years ago they did. And 20 years ago we had to translate from german into greek/latin. That must have been difficult...
