Hi folks there in the world of Latin.  Thoughts for you today:  If you have just begun to use "Olim, Once Upon a Time in Latin", no matter which volume you choose, here are some ideas for you.

Before you start the reader with you child, look over the material.  It might be good for you to read both the English and the Latin of one of the stories.  There is a pronunciation guide in the front of each reader.  That is just a help to you.  Keep in mind though that there isn't anyone alive who uses Latin as his/her true language.  (It is used in some churches but I'm talking real language here.)

So, now you've read it over and you are ready to begin.  Don't be afraid!  It really won't bite you.  Have some fun with it.  But go slow.  Remember the old joke "How do you eat an elephant?"  Answer:  "One bite at a time!"  So do just that - take one bite at a time - one little bite at a time.  That way, neither you nor your little one will get burned out.  If you have fun with it - You are likely to find your student asking for more.  Mine do!!

Guess that's it for tonight.  Press on and have a good night.
