Translating

January 30, 2013

For the rest of the year, we are going to translate two verses from the book of John a day. Biblegateway.com has an online version of the Vulgate.  I have found this word study tool helpful.

Back Into Translating

File:Latin dictionary.jpg


We jumped back into translating again after a long Christmas break. Spending about half our time in grammar review using the grammar handouts from the Latin Library really helped. I think we will be spending  a lot more time in grammar. We are at section 289 in The First Year of Latin.

I have found  this dictionary to be helpful. Latin Dictionary

Getting Back to Latin

File:Rome Colosseum inscription 2.jpg

January 14

After taking a month off of Latin, we really need a review. I have found the handouts at the Latin library very helpful. We are beginning our review at the beginning (a very fine place to start), but moving quickly, adding one declension and conjugation per day with a quiz every day. Hopefully, by the end of next week we will be ready to get back to translating.
