| am new to this forum and although I did three years of latin at high school in the 1960s it is only in the last decade that I have loved it, having re-discovered it and started again from the beginning. My habit when translating is to try to understand every word, and I like to be able to explain the reason for endings to my class. It is fascinating to think over some of the (to me) complex sentences I come across, but I am also grateful that my original teacher made us learn some things by rote; I still have them.
Welcome, Helen. I moved the topic to the Open Board.
Welcome to textkit, Helen. Wow, three years of Latin in high school! Times have changed.
