Aestiva Latinitatis Romae part 1

Update: some videos of these trips, with sound, are on youtube at: http://youtube.com/user/joepeppercorn

So, I finally took some pictures this weekend on a trip to Ostia. Reginaldus is one of those rare people who appears in photographs exactly as he does in 3D, and the photo below seems to me appropriate because we're all standing around, and he's in mid-stride. Of course, we're all standing around because we have no idea where he's going, and none of us can walk at his pace. If only that general principle applied in Latin as well, we'd all be fluent... but then, none of us would be here. Probably 30 people offered to carry the bag for him.




The theater at Ostia, together with about a third of the class.

If you're interested in audio, I'll try to post some if I get any which is more representative than the inaudible bits I've got so far. While you're waiting, you can hear some of Reginaldus online, with many - but by no means all - of the noises which are used in classes:

I can vouch in particular for the topmost mp3, having actually listened to it.
