Come try out all of that fantastic new vocabulary! Remember, practice makes perfect!

Specto hoc forum linguae latinae defectum. Latina, lingua mortua. =(

Ha ha ha. Let me leave you with a little rhyme that has served me well through my many years of latin classes:

"Latin is a language dead,
As dead as dead can be.
First it killed the Romans,
And now it's killing me."

Lingua Latina saepe dicitur mortua esse, sed non veritas est. Modum iam pridem meridiatur.

How about a florilegium of aphorisms? A motto for each house...

S
Proximus sum egomet mihi
Parcere subiectis et debellare superbos

G
Te ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito
Mea virtute me involvo

R
Sapere aude
Per aspera ad astra

H
Non omnia possumus omnes
Ut desint vires, tamen est laudanda voluntas

etc.

Any suggestions?

Wow, it's been ages since I've had anywhere to use the Latin I learnt in Primary School Salvete amicas (translation: Hello friends)

[Waddles]

Salvete, amici. *waves* mihi nomen est Josey.

Clever idea, Taxus! possumus addere tuis proverbiis in carminem Latinam Hogwarts houses. lingua latina mortuus est, sed articulamus lingua etiam!

[Taxus]

Salvete!

Could you start a game in this forum? I know, I know. There are (too) many games on SnitchSeeker. But it is a good way to keep a forum going.
