and hello! i am new, and i am looking forward to using the wonderful resource that is textkit. i studied latin in highschool and am presently studying greek in college, and i was told about this site by an old classmate of mine. i’ve lurked for a while, but i figured that it was time to step out of the shadows and actually introduce myself and participate.
anyway, i just wanted to say hello.

Salve, comes.
Welcome Messalina!
On which side of textkit will you be spending most of your time: east or west?
Cordially,
Paul
Hi Messalina! I’m happy to hear you’ve decided to introduce yourself.
i’ll probably be more on the greek side of things, since that is what i am currently studying (we finished lysias’ first oration today, ), but i would like to refresh my latin skills somewhat so i might show up over there too.

Thanks for introducing yourself, enjoy Textkit!
Welcome, Indeed!

in my highschool latin class, we had roman names to get us into learning the language, and my teacher picked messalina for me, saying that it was because she was known to have had dark hair, and i had dark hair. she may have also mentioned something about how she conspired to kill her husband, but it was not until waaay later that i found out exactly what else she was famous for..

Xairein,
Welcome to the board. I wish I had started studying Greek at such a young age!
