Latin is a language,
as dead as dead could be!
First it killed the Romans
and now its killing me!

I had to take latin for a term for music because we were learning Motzart's requim... It was really difficult ! oh well good luck in transilating but i won't be able to read it...

Indeed, Latin is not an easy language; but I like it

I think what you're doing is really cool. I'm still taking Latin, so I don't know enough to actually read it, but it's fun to go through and pick out familiar phrases and such.

Keep up the good work!

This sounds really cool! I'm trying to learn Latin, so maybe this will help me along. Keep it up -- and kudos for taking on such a task!

Wow, I didn't realize that you had a MA in History

I have read over your project. Quite impressive. I took Latin in HS and would lov to continue it, but there is no Uni in our area that teaches it.

Alas, it has bee 14 years since my Latin excursions.
