Laura Gibbs's Friends

Laura Gibbs... a fan of Aesop's foxes

Are you a Latin student? teacher?: Latin is my hobby, so I am both a Latin student and a teacher... and neither!

Any Latin books you want to recommend...?: Check out the recommended reading in the right-hand column for some books I like.

"Focus Meditandi Locus".

I was able to puzzle them out, and they were fun--though I think I'm going to need to read the essay to understand how fortune is like a glass. :) Orberg's the first textbook I've been able to stick with in self-study. I actually look forward to the next chapters, rather than dreading them.

My tuxedo's named Lucy, BTW :-)

I've went through a lot of Rosetta Stone Latin, and the Minimus books, and some Wheelock's.
My Rome built a forum recently. We have 7 hills here as well. Sometimes the city adds something classical - we just added some new column statues at the city welcome - but I wish we'd do more.
We have a replica Romulus and Remus given to us by the city of Rome, and it stands in a prominent place to this day. Sometimes people go and put diapers on the babies.

Since I'm also teaching French and English, beside Latin, to my children, I would be glad to have the code you're writting about.
I have already translated the vocabulary of some of the Fables from Latin to Japanese and will begin to read the first of the Aesop's Fables with the children in September, after our summer vacations.
Thank you again.
