The aim of this post is to thank all of you out there for being willing to Learn Latin- It's clearly not as dead as some people believe.

Today's post has a number of snippets ranging from a link or two to a contextual PowerPoint and a vocabulary list to help those preparing for upcoming and vital exams.

Most importantly, the vocabulary lists:
Every day Latin- general phrases and the most common words that come up in texts, also Latin that is used today.
More Latin- again useful vocabulary that will make the exam easier.

Context:

Links:
These will also be added to the useful links section of the website.
