After screwing around with the idea for several years I have finally decided to seriously study Latin. Either that or this is just another half-assed attempt that will last at most a few weeks.

I'm taking a multi-pronged approach:
(1) continue to read Agrippa in the original with my friends who know Latin and have Agrippa in the original
(2) memorize the Aeneid starting from the beginning using Pharr's "parsed" edition
(3) get "Learn to Read Latin" along with the workbook and use that off and on as I am doing the other two

Could there possibly be anything more boring and/or self-involved than a blog devoted to some guy who is trying to teach himself Latin? Gee I hope not - because boring and self-involved is what I'm going for!

My progress so far: first four lines of Aeneid committed to memory, next three lines very close to memorized:

Arma virumque cano, Trojae qui primus ab oris
Italiam fato profugus, Lavinaque venit
Litora - multum ille et terris jactatus et alto
vi superum, saevae memorem Junonis ob iram
