"Basically, I agree with you, although in fact there are no so many differences between classical and italian or spanish pronunciation, at least in order to understand.
What do you think about greek pronunciation?"

Update on the Technical Aspects of the Carmenta Online Latin Classroom
Salvete sodales,
Some time has passed since my last blog entry, and in that period I have made certain modifications to the technical setup of the Carmenta Online Latin Classroom (www.CarmentaLatin.com). The major change I’ve made is to discontinue using the online web conferencing service WiZiQ for both the video and audio aspects of the online classroom. For while the WiZiQ video feed and classroom whiteboard were both perfectly serviceable for my purposes, the audio portion began… Continue

Teaching Latin Online, Part I---by Andrew Kuhry-Haeuser, Instructor, Carmenta Online Latin Classroom
Several months back I met Andrew Reinhard, the founder and caretaker of this site, through a series of email messages. He told me about the eClassics site and I told him about myself, specifically about how I had started teaching Latin on the internet. He was interested in hearing about my experiences with the format, and since he thought that others might be interested as well, he suggested that I submit something about it to eClassics—something describing the logistics of teaching in the… Continue

- The lovely thing about learning Greek to read Homer is that Homeric Greek has a nice small vocabulary, and NOT too much in the way of long, convoluted sentences. You will love it.

- Consistency is not always easy. I finally got constant with my Greek this summer in England, and actually managed to translate two books of the Iliad! Only fifty lines a day, but it adds up. Still, one is so often not in the mood for yet more catalogue of Ships.

- Anything to get out Waco for the summer!! I was visiting my fiance, also singing a Liederabend. And going to a conference on Charles Williams. VERY good fun.

- Oh, yes, the writer. Gloomy eerie books, but the people at the conference were wonderful British nutters, and it was fun staying at an Oxford college. Much better food than I remember from my grad school days up North in Durham. I went to the Natural History Museum to see Alice's Dodo.

- I think I'd call him more of a fantasist - his books are full of weird things people think at first are hallucinations, and later find to be true, and somehow profoundly morally significant. NOT good books to read alone at night. Like That Hideous Strength. (Incidentally, I wrote the chapter on the Space Trilogy in CS Lewis and Narnia for Dummies!)
