Colleen Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 [quote name='Raphael' date='Mar 9 2004, 05:41 PM'] As for Latin, I can make up a lesson plan that would be effective, I would answer any questions on email every night, and I would make up stories from simple to complex over time to ween you onto it. [/quote] that sounds like fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homeschoolmom Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 This is gonna be cool... then I can justify buying "The Cat in the Hat" in Latin!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tobk2000 Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 I'm game just as long as we don't do any Cicero... He's a pain... his sentences are huge. Poetry is much nicer... or medieval latin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebirth flame Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 i'd be totally down for taking latin online!!! my latin teacher doesn't teach us a whole lot of latin, or any of the rules and such, so it'd be nice to know what i'm missing...

Thy Geekdom Come Posted March 10, 2004 Author Share Posted March 10, 2004 [quote] This is gonna be cool... then I can justify buying "The Cat in the Hat" in Latin!![/quote] Cattus Petasatus! I already have it! Get "Winnie Ille Pooh" instead... [quote]I'm game just as long as we don't do any Cicero... He's a pain... his sentences are huge. Poetry is much nicer... or medieval latin[/quote] I like Cicero, but I would never start with his work. However, I wouldn't start with poetry either...the translating would be hard enough for beginners, the scansion would be like the plague. I would probably start with Caesar's [u]De Bello Gallico[/u] or make up my own sentences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oik Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Hi, I not only would be interested in learning Latin via this website (hint hint), I also have a friend who has taken 4 yrs and could help me. I have also a suggestion for the pronunciation problem: just record and post short audio clips of you pronouncing the words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crossingstandrewspass Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 That's an awesome idea! I would undoubtly take the course if it was offered on here. Latin is a great language (although it's kinda dead). Think about it... Phatmass could revive it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rachael Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 i would love to learn it actually, i started taking it in 8th grade b/c the teacher was a jerk and accused me of cheating when i hadn't. he also humiliated me in front of the class every time we would have to take a test or a quiz. what a moron. needless to say, i dropped out. anyways, i am still greatly interested in it. since i'm not taking a foreign language anymore, i won't get it confused. i'll stop rambling on now....

Colleen Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 I took latin in 5th grade and loved it and then i took it my freshman year of highschool. but then i switched schools and there was no latin offered. I saw the Passion tonight and i was so pleased because, not only could i tell when they were speaking latin, i could also understand some of it!
