If you head over to LatinTutorial.com right now, you'll notice a brand new look that's been my big focus over the last few years. It's still in a beta preview because who knows what bugs exist until a lot of people hit my code and servers. 1/15

I am so thrilled about the publication of my first book: "Et Cetera: An Illustrated Guide to Latin Phrases"! This project has been a labor of love. It combines my passion for Ancient Roman literature with beautiful illustrations by Marta Bertello. maialeechin.com/book/et-cetera/

Yes. I learned Fortran and studied Latin in 1973-4. One of them is now effectively a dead language, the other provides constant inspiration!

I assigned the @latintutorial video on Catullus 85 for homework, and one student told me out of all the homework assignments I’ve ever given, this one — he didn’t even have the words, it was too mind-blowing. He talked about Cat85 with his dad for an hour. youtu.be/r7--agTtb5M?si…

I just learned that W. R. Johnson, author of the seminal book on Vergil’s Aeneid, _Darkness Visible_, died yesterday. That book profoundly affected me as an undergrad. It took me a while to realize it was the same Ralph Johnson, my next door neighbor growing up in Ithaca. RIP.
