Getting back to Latin
First lesson by correspondence:
I have attached the Lesson in pdf. Begin at your own peril; proceed at your own pace. (But remember that it is impossible to master anything without constant application) An e-mail with your answers shall be answered with my corrections and another lesson. Remember to ask questions about anything you like; if you don't ask questions I can't help you!
First question:
1. In your dictionary (you should have a print version but the great Lewis and Short
is online http://www.perseus.org/cgi-bin/resolveform) the verb “vulgo” means
what?
HJMW: "I vulg" or "I am vulging"
from the verb "to vulg" which means...errr...to do socially odious things on the subway in front of little old ladies/nuns.
A bit like "vogueing" but less arty.
