Since I know everyone loves hearing about me learning Latin, and even if they don’t well it is my blog so if you are going to read it you are going to hear about me learning Latin so deal, here is an update on what’s I’ve been learning. I am now in chapter 2. It is going pretty well, though I slacked a bit last week or I would be working on chapter 3 by now. However, since I am teaching myself I can slack all I want. Anyways my biggest problem at the moment is that I don’t have an answer key, so I can’t tell if I am translating correctly, since Dan took 4 years or so of Latin in High School he is able to help some, but still it would be nice sometimes to have the key. Especially when I have to translate from English back into Latin. The Latin to English isn’t normally to bad, it is the reserve that I keep wondering if I am doing right or not.

Oh well, I like the Latin text I am using and it explains things fairly well especialy with adding in the workbook and a grammar type book someone wrote to go along with it. So I think I am doing decently except for the whole wishing I had an answer key.

So a couple of months ago (almost a year now I guess) I bought some books to start learning Latin. With uni and all I never really did much with them. So I have restarted my Latin study again. I’m most of the way through the first chapter at this point in time. Just one more thing to translate in the book and then some of the workbook exercises to do. I’m enjoying it and since it is a dead language if my pronounciation is a bit off it won’t hurt anyone which is nice. Hopefully I’ll have a decent handle on Latin by next year and then I can start on my next project which is learning ancient Greek.
