At 9:36am on April 15, 2009, Laura Gibbs said…: Hello Vincent! The wonderful fellow in England who has done a Latin course in podcast form is now doing the same course Latin-French. I know you are in touch with some Classics folks there in France - you might help spread the word! Evan's online Latin materials are really astounding!
=======
FROM EVAN MILLNER: I have now started to record the French-Latin version of the Latinum podcast.
It can be found here: http://coursdelatin.mypodcast.com/
I am not francophone, so my accent is a bit thick, and, so I am told it sounds rustic....but the point isn't the French, but the Latin.
Ten lessons are online so far. This will take me much, much less time to do than the Adler course, as it is bare-bones. The supplementary material is all on Latinum.
I am using Ollendorffs original 1846 course, which I own a copy of, with Adler's version open at the same time, as Adler gives many different versions of the Latin, with much more variation.

J'ai été invité par Or-Tal Kiriati .

Merci de ton accueil

COMPAORE.

Thank you. Merry Christmas and Happy new year, too. I won't forget it. Those webs inspire my teaching a lot. I never stop studying and learning from you and another person such you...once again thank you to help me to reach this world and show it to my students..

At 3:18pm on October 12, 2008, Connie Weber said…: Hi Vincent,
How are you? Hope all is well where you are. I put up some pictures of the local countryside, which you say look like a part of France... How are the seasons there? Do you have a dramatic show of fall colors?

I don't know which messages you are writing about. Give me more information and I'll try to find them.

My interests and my time seem to have parted ways!

Did you have a particular thing you wanted me to look at? I always love to add good examples of good new media objects to my blog. (Alas, the blog has fallen behind lately as we work to get the Fireside community up to speed on the issues of inner city education; do the computer programming I should have the cash to pay someone else to do, build a park system someone else should be doing, and still get a paycheck!)

I love it that the Internet and things like Current TV have made global awareness so much more than dry news and the odd PBS documentary.

I would love to hear more ideas about a cross-cultural project.
Let me know what you have in mind. This sounds exciting..

Andrew

At 6:38pm on March 13, 2008, Conny Weber said…: bonjour vincent, or better bon nuit because it's already midnight here in good old europe. my french is only good enough to order a meal or ask for the bill, so I'm afraid we'll have to communicate in english. but I#m also glad to find another european soul in here:-)

At 12:55am on March 4, 2008, Or-Tal Kiriati said…: Actually the Russian page is aimed at helping new immigrants to Israel. Parents are sometimes having trouble coping with Hebrew info and we want to give them a page where parents can run discussions, ask questions and get info in their mother tongue.

At 3:42pm on March 3, 2008, Or-Tal Kiriati said…: Thanks for the comment!
Not planning to translate it any time soon - however if you do browse you might be able to view kids' projects pictures.
A russian page will be uploaded soon, I hope...

At 1:48am on February 13, 2008, Greg Oz said…: Hi Vincent, ask away with the questions. It's fine by me. I really appreciate the opportunity to swap ideas and to be involved in discussions with others. It's often not as easy in 'real-life'. So yes I'd love to be involved in your various networks/schools etc and translate away.

At 7:56pm on February 11, 2008, Frank Fasano said…: Many years ago ( I won't say how many) I was arguing over a grade and the professor said to me " O si tacuisses philosophus mansisses." I did not get the extra points

At 3:00pm on February 10, 2008, Frank Fasano said…: Give me time to readjust. It has been a long time since I sat at the feet of Fr. Plumpe and Klausing

At 7:32pm on February 8, 2008, Laura Gibbs said…: hi Vincent, there is not a good edition of Legenda Aurea in Latin that is available online - you can find some selections there at TheLatinLibrary (as you already did) - but even those items are usually not complete. I am always on the lookout for that text online, so if/when I find one that has been put online, I will let you know!!! I hope one will be picked up by Google Books soon.

You can get some "lives of the saints" materials at the Breviarium Romanum online here:

At 1:18pm on February 4, 2008, Angeles Berman said…: Hi Vincent,
Thank you for asking about a participation with your group.
I like the idea, How can i help?
Regards from Mexico (southeast)

I love the music in your page :-)

At 8:05pm on January 27, 2008, Mike Parent said…: Vincent,

I enjoyed reading your contributions to my "books" discussion. I look forward to reading more from you. Welcome ot our network.

At 12:32pm on January 26, 2008, Laura Gibbs said…: Hi Vincent, I live in North Carolina, and if you are ever deposited on American soil, you are most welcome! At Christmas time we acquired a ping pong table, so if you like to play ping pong, then this is the place for you! :-)

Sanskrit was my favorite study I ever did in school - if I had discovered it before Latin and Greek, I would have become a Sanskritist. Even now, my favorite class that I teach is this one: for my students who live in Oklahoma, India is a great unknown and this is a good way to awaken their curiosity.
Ancient Indian Epics: Ramayana and Mahabharata
I look forward to learning from you and sharing online! I love that the Internet is a "charta" was can all share! :-)

At 6:33pm on January 25, 2008, Laura Gibbs said…: I just wanted to thank you for this very great discussion. It has been a very enjoyable part of the week for me!

Have a lovely weekend!

:-)

At 7:32am on January 15, 2008, Skip Zilla said…: Welcome, Vincent.
I have placed a badge for your Ning "Hors les Murs" in the right panel Fireside Learning's page.
You give us who live in the U.S. an important global perspective on kids learning and on the human prospect for sustainability and peaceability on our planet.
Thanks for joining the community.

At 6:21am on January 15, 2008, Connie Weber said…: Hello Vincent,

You are the 100th member of Fireside Learning.

I think you should get a prize! I'll have to think of it. Can I send garden produce to you wherever you are in the world during the Michigan, USA summer? How's that for a prize? A local garden basket, full of veggies, canned fruit, flowers. That's what I wish I could send you, for being the 100th person on the network!

Vincent, it's so fascinating that you're such a citizen of the world, such a traveler. You'll have much to share here. Lend your perspective...please. I'm thinking I'll even have the kids in my class ask you some questions, should you be willing. We're doing a Martin Luther King celebration this week, and each student is writing about what s/he can give the world, right now. I bet you'd have some ideas...

Anyhow, welcome, welcome, welcome.
