Why study
Latin? Links to other people's videos and articles.
Also, by popular demand, the Life of Brian clip in which Brian
gets a Latin lesson from a Roman centurion: Romans, go home!
Ok, there's a tiny bit of inappropriateness in this one.

Cena Romana (Roman Banquet) in late
winter/early spring
Latinists in the news: Latin Lives (The
Nation) Reginald Foster
probably is, as the reporter notes, the most famous Latinist in the world. I was fortunate enough to be in his summer
class in Rome twenty-something years ago.
A nice story about him: Mike Lowe Reports What a character. (I love characters. Most of my favorite Latin teachers have been
characters.)
The University of
Kentucky made a half-hour program about Terence Tunberg’s conversational Latin
workshops (which have become an indispensable part of my summers): Conventiculum Latinum
Classical civilization in the news:
What
is made of over 190,000 pieces and took more than 470 hours to assemble? Lego
Pompeii; Lego Pompeii (Wikipedia)
The
speeches of president Obama owe much to classical oratory: The New
Cicero .
Ok,
now that you’ve read that, for dessert you may read Obama's Use of Complete Sentences Stirs Controversy .
(N.B.
– that’s an abbreviation for the Latin nota
bene, “note well”— this is a humor piece.)
Is Latin hard to learn? Even little kids
can learn Latin (another video clip, but not Monty Python).
