Helpful(I hope)Hint

Something I do to help me learn, is copying what I'm working on. For example, my Bible Study is nothing but copying, word for word, the entire Bible. I'm going to try this with Latin (as soon as I've learned a little more), but I'm going to use a slight twist. I'm going to find one of my favorite books, and copy it in into Latin. (If there is any reason why this would be a strange and completely wacky waste of my time, feel free to tell me. I might listen then again I might not .) I hope this will help someone.

Funny. I was thinking of translating the books of my kids into Latin. I haven't started yet, so I don't yet know what "the ever hungry caterpillar' would be in Latin .<br /><br />Ingrid

Winnie the Pooh is also in Latin? This I did not know!

[mariek]

Yep, there's a Latin version of Winnie the Pooh, it's called Winine Ille Pu.<br />

My very terrific kid brother (who has been taller than me since he was three....) and his wife gave me "Winni ille Pu" for Christmas one year when I first started learning Latin.....<br /><br />Kilmeny
