A Chinese version of your wonderful website will be very helpful to people here who are not fluent in English. Wonder if you are interested in having a Chinese version of it? If you do, I'd love to help.

It is interesting to see how much more I am getting out of my Latin "revival" than when I struggled through it at Melbourne University so many years ago!
My best wishes to you and all who are returning to Latin!

Thank you for your kind welcome. I have admired your work for a long time and have been trying to figure out the slideshows for a while. Today is the first time I got it to work. My goal this summer is to create a kind of Latin newsletter for students online. Kind of along the lines of the old Pompeiiana but instead of one school contributing to the content, it could be students from anywhere in the world. At that point, I plan to take you up on your very generous offers of help with the technological end.

And I love your voice, it's very pleasant to listen to.

At 8:06am on February 11, 2009, Julio César Pinto Ribera said…: Terque quaterque beatus!!! Cara Laura, vorrei farti una domanda, hai la pazienzia di accetare i miei communicazion, forse svagliati, in senso e scritura? Mi scuzi, ma credo che se non si trata, pratica, non s'impara mai una lingua. Tu sai: ID DE USUS DOCEBIT. Non richiedo che lei mi corregia o impare, solo un pó di pazienzia nel mio sforzo d'imparare l'italiano e il latino. Grazie, un'altra volta, per tutto che fai il questa vel pagina di nostra lingua materna. Vale!!!!

At 12:12pm on February 10, 2009, Julio César Pinto Ribera said…: Salve Laura, Gratiae per tuam paginae latinae linguae. Nunc sum pupilus primae curso. Sorry if I'm not spelling a good latin, but I know that I can learn it soon, because my mother language is spanish and I also know some italian. For some reason AMO LINGUAM LATINAM. Vale!! Cara amica.

At 11:26am on January 21, 2009, Or-Tal Kiriati said…: Laura I really like this place and your twitter. I would suggest that you add translation to your twitter feeds at least, so we can learn in the process.

At 4:46pm on January 19, 2009, Sandra Ramos said…: Salua sis, optima Laura, mihi quoque ualde placent tuae paginae de fabulis et de prouerbiis et de emblematibus Latinis quae fere cottidie lego!

Te ualere bene iubet Sandra "e Herculis termino", ut dicunt.

At 7:40pm on January 18, 2009, Michael Watson said…: That's a fantastic library website you have there at university of Oklahoma. It certainly takes the stress out of flipping throught old books; I'm always afraid of leaving fingerprints or tearing pages.
