New member working on resurrecting Latin

Hello,

By way of introduction, I have a degree in Classics (to advanced level / research in both Latin and Greek) which I completed following three years of Latin and Greek (NT and Attic) in High School. I then, following a sojourn in Greece, (mis)spent a few years (3) failing to obtain a graduate degree in Byzantine and Modern Greek language / literature. Along the way, I managed to obtain a decent knowledge of German (reading), Italian (basic) and Spanish (conversational competence at this point and reasonably fluent reading).

The end point of the above academic summary was more than 30 years ago. Latin stopped 35 years ago. For a number of reasons, I can still make my way around most Greek from the New Testament to today without much difficulty. Latin not so much. Well, not at all.

I’m resurrecting the Latin and I have ideas about the best way to go about it. I wish to employ / adapt the Rassias method to make Latin reclamation fast and thorough. These ideas keep changing, naturally. I would not mind discussing with / learning from others.

Kind regards,

Cornelius
