And in my ongoing quest to learn Latin, I've discovered something new:

CROSSWORD PUZZLES.

They're Latin crosswords, with the clues in English. Extremely fun and good for vocab.




(Ten years ago, if you'd told me I'd end up doing Latin crosswords for fun, I wouldn't have believed a word of it. But I still would have thought it sounded cool.)

5 across: a language used by the Roman Empire

How many letters? ;-)

I mean, the answer could be 'Greek' (or lingua graeca).

Considering I can't even do crosswords in English, I am impresed.

Ooh, where did you find such things? (Not that I have any use for them, not knowing Latin, but I have a friend who teaches it and might be interested...)
