The Art of Everyday Latin: Part III

Learn the art of making Latin come alive.

To put it another way: Latin rises here like an unstoppable anti-zombie, destroying the mindless conformity of all who have forgotten their past. You will discover that Latin is not only for the likes of Cicero and Virgil and Aquinas and Petrarch and Erasmus and Descartes and Newton and thousands and thousands of others like them. It is for you too.

And why not? If you speak English (or a Romance tongue) and/or live in a Western-derived culture, then the Western classical heritage is certainly part of who you are. You can't go home without it.

Latin is one of the greatest languages of world history. Even a little knowledge of it will improve your mental hygiene...and with a good knowledge of it, you too can help overcome any ahistorical zombie wretches that may be threatening society.

Latin has been and can continue to be used in everyday situations for everyday things and everyday ideas. After doing these exercises, you may not feel entirely like a native speaker, but you'll be noticeably closer to that point. Caution: You may astound others, and even yourself, by your leap forward in linguistic ability.

Teachers: Be prepared for a surge in enthusiasm and competency among your students.
