I'm in!! I want to get a jump on teaching it to my daughter (the Pony Princess). I have been looking into curriculum and debated with my good Baptist friends the merrits of eclesiastical vs. classical. Finally desided on Latina Christiana (if anyone knows anything about it and has an opinion, I'd like to hear it).... So anyway, I'm in...

I took two years of Latin, but all I remember are the Ave Maria and the Pater Noster...

Festa dies tibi!
Festa dies tibi!
Festa dies, cara (fill in name)..
Festa dies tibi!

I learned classical, but I can do most ecclesiastical if necessary.

Count me in, too! I'd like to learn ecclisiastical latin as well. I remember 40hrs devotion litanies from my elementary school parish back inthe 80s-- they are a cool parish.

Sancta Maria, ora pro nobis!

the Passion of the Christ movie is probably peaking people's interest in Latin. (and Aramaic, i read an article about how in syria, I think, some tacher of Aramaic is hoping it'll get kids to learn it. I think it's Chaldean Catholics

I just told my students who are studying Ancient Rome this neat thing that I got from a weblog somewhere. Has anyone heard this before? It's pretty cool:


When Pilate asks, "Quid est veritas?" (What is truth?), Jesus does not answer.

The answer to Pilate's questions comes from rearranging the letters, and therein the answer is found:

"Est vir qui ad est."
IT IS THE MAN WHO IS BEFORE YOU.

I can pronunce Pilate's question. The answer sentence, :D no clue!

God bless, all

Oh, that would be pronounced, in ecclesiastical Latin (the kind used in the Passion):

est (like in fast[i]est[/i])-veer-kwi-odd-est.

I would guess, though, that "ad est" should be one word, "adest", since that is the more common form. But that doesn't make a difference in pronunciation, save that you won't have the space in between the "ad" and the "est"
