The first chapter of Latin was way more popular than I expected. We haven't even gotten to the second chapter, where it seems like the more entertaining stuff would be, and they are already excited reading about large and small rivers, towns, and islands. They also thought it was cool reading some examples of where we get singulars and plurals like cactus/cacti and radius/radii and figuring out the relationship between a new Latin word, magnus, and a word they knew, magnify.
And, yes, the Tiberis flows right through Rome, sed non est magnus.
Well why wouldn't hat be fun to to learn a supposedly "dead language" and bringing it back
