"It wasn't the reward that mattered or the recognition you might harvest. It was your depth of commitment, your quality of service, the product of your devotion -- these were the things that counted in a life. When you gave purely, the honor came in the giving, and that was honor enough."

I ran across this site elsewhere and thought you might be interested. No special previous language or historical knowledge is required, and it's free.

Hooked my interest. Need more than 'e pluribus unum' in the vocabulary.

Very cool; my youngest daughter took Latin in high school- I wonder how much it has changed between then and now.

I took a bit of Latin years ago in high school and loved it! I am definitely going to have to study this! Wouldn't it be awesome to write a song in medieval latin? Then you could sing whatever and nearly nobody would know what the heck you were singing! *whistles innocently*
