Welcome!!

Welcome!!
We are glad  you have found us.   Come here for suggestions and ideas how to use "Olim, Once Upon a Time in Latin"!  Also - Ask away with questions!  I will do whatever I can to help.

Suggestion for today -In whichever reader you have, read the first story in English.  Then read the same story in Latin.  Plan to read it several times.  It will take time for them to grow accustomed to the sounds as you pronounce the Latin words.  Don't worry so much about how you pronounce them (though we have provided you with a pronunciation guide).  Just keep doing it over and over.  At first you might only get through a page or two, that's okay.  Just keep coming back to it.  Remember that the translation for the Latin is right on the same page in the sidebar.

We will be producing pronunciation CDs and we will let you know when they are ready.  For now helping them have fun with the new words will be enough.  Have Fun.  Read with expression!  Remember when your young children were beginning to read (English)?  You told them to "Read with expression!".  Help them by doing the same thing with these fun stories.

Hope you have a great night!
