Cherryh is better known as a science fiction author. My thanks to my Globe buddy Hanniballs for the link (I did a search and it was still there).

I love this! Thank you! I always wanted to learn Latin but was daunted. How much easier it is to learn things when they are explained in a clear and logical way.

Four years of Latin in high school and years of classical (and Modern) Greek...the best top down decision my parents ever made for me.

I've been trying to learn Latin by reading through some of the dual-language Loeb Classical Library volumes. It's heavy weather; it makes a sort of sense after a while, but I couldn't write in Latin to save my life.

I'm a huge fan of Cherryh's writing--one of my prized possessions is a signed 1st edition of Cyteen--so I know this site will be good. Thanks for the link.

I took two years of high school Latin from 1945-1947. I knew more Latin than my younger daughter when she graduated with four years of Latin in 1996.
Bravo for modern education.

SC, you're a treasure!

I've always wanted to learn more Latin -- I'm limited to the few phrases I learned in Catholic school -- and this will be a great help. Thanks for the article.

The course seems fun, but I get tiny squares for some of the letters. Not all, but some.

Eheu! This is fun. I'm actually doing it. Came upon a stumbling block.

1. An Brutus Caesarem occidit? Is Brutus killing Caesar?

2. An Caesarem Brutus occidit? Is Brutus killing Caesar?

Why isn't the second one, Is Caesar killing Brutus?

I got everything but the short story in Latin. It wasn't there.

I remember, years ago, when Compuserve was first new...corresponding with C. J. in the Sci-Fi areas. On a 300 baud modem. What fun. 72327,120 was my user number. Funny the things you never forget.

Best way to learn Latin: be a teen-age boy (or somewhat confused girl, I guess) with hormones raging thru your system, then take Mrs. Ross' class back in the 80s. You will hang on each and every word the woman says, regardless of language.
