Learn the Latin language
Learn Latin quickly, is dedicated to the Latin language and all those who lived, thrived and
survived (or not) in those ancient times.
The name Learn Latin Quickly is something of a misnomer and a moniker such as AllAboutLatin would be more suitable, but the original name was purchased in haste and that is that.
Learn Latin Quickly is something of a private website as Latin is not as trendy or as topical as once it was, so congratulations for finding us. Us is again something of a misnomer as this website is the work of one individual.
What is it for?
Just for fun.
And for anyone who is interested in Latin and wants or needs to use expressions like ad hoc, inter alia and so on with confidence ;)
Anyway Latin is an enjoyable and fun language to learn, and it will make your brain bigger. Honest. (It will help with cryptic crosswords).
In many ways, the Latin language is easier to learn than other languages and if you are resolutely monolingual then Latin is a good first language to learn (this isn't a fashionable point of view) but nevertheless ...
You only need to learn to read Latin. It's a dead language and although there is a certain satisfaction in stringing together Latin sentences, it isn't strictly necessary.
Many English words are derived from the Latin and so are simple to remember
It does not change (being a dead language) and so you don't have to continually learn to use and understand new slang and word uses.
Once you can read Latin, a great literature spanning centuries opens up to you - and nowadays includes not only classics written by Horace and Catullus but Quomodo Invidiosulus nomine Grinchus Christi Natalem Abrogaverit by Doctore Seuss.
This is a hobby site. So beware. It's not proofread and there WILL be mistakes scattered throughout the pages.
Peace.
