That's a good question because I always regard myself as a student even though I have now been doing Latin for 65 years. I simply enjoy reading it from my collection of antique Latin books, some dating from the 15th century. I studied Latin at school, studied medicine at The University of Sydney and later Latin and Greek at graduate level. As I approach my 77th birthday I find that Latin keeps my mind active although I am not as quick as I used to be. That unfortunately is the price of growing old. I enjoy reading Aesop's fables in their many forms over the centuries. Plutarch is more like a cryptic crossword but I enjoy reading it. At the moment I am translating Virgil's Aeneid for one of my sons, to whom I taught Latin, with comments and illustrations. Purely personal use, not for publication.I don't have a copy of your Aesop's Fables in Latin yet, but I will chase one up. Thank you for your contribution to a language that is as perennial as the sun.Cura ut valeas. Peter

I am still beginning in Latin, fueled by a belated desire to study classics myself. I started using Latinum for economy, but quickly found that Evan's methods for learning were priceless anyway and have been avidly continuing. It was there I came across a reference to your book. Looking at the samples, the book is absolutely amazing both visually and content-wise. I've put it on my must-have list, while I explore the site to do some active learning.

Thanks for the link. I'll dive into them immediately. At the begining even the simplest of proverbs gives you a sense of accoplishment after you've mastered it.
