Getting close to the end of the summer. I am kind of looking forward to starting school again. Thinking of courses I am going to teach next year, classes, students, etc. How is foreign language going? - you might ask. I answer, "which one?" As for all of you learners of a foreign language, I need to work hard to keep up my skills when it comes to summer. Since I went to Rome in June, I was working on my Italian a little bit. Then, I needed to read in Hungarian so that I don't forget literary language. As far as "kitchen Hungarian" goes, I get plenty of that during the summer. I am visiting my sister in England and my parents will be there. Wonderful opportunity to talk in my native language!
But back to Latin. When August rolls around, I start looking at my books and read Latin authors. This time it is going to be Pliny about the eruption of Vesuvius.
How did you spend your summer? Did you exercise your language skills?
