Spoken latin taught in schools?
What do you think about teaching latin in schools like other languages are taught? I think it would certainly improve comprehension. I have trouble writing things that I can read easily., and the latin course that I do only looks at written latin. I would also like to know if there are any other online sites where I could learn latin in a similar way that I'm learning french?
Profile Information
- Role in the Classics Classroom (real or virtual):
- student
- About Me:
- I am a latin student and I want to learn latin like I learn french- I think it would be a lot easier to remember vocab and grammar structures if I could write or speak in latin. At present I'm only reading latin and identifying grammar structures.
- Favorite on-line spots for the Classics:
- Cambridge latin (actually the only one I've found)
- Favorite on-line spots for education:
- LiveMocha and PolyGlot. There are also many other language and science related websites that I like
