Latin Lesson #2: The First Conjugation
My second Latin lesson is posted at my new “Learn Latin” wiki. It’s much easier to edit long documents there, especially ones containing a lot of tables, which these lessons will. I’ll post a notice here every time I put up a new lesson, so we can discuss them, ask questions, correct my mistakes, and all that here in the comments. As always, comments, suggestions, and complaints are very welcome.
This second lesson covers the first conjugation (of verb forms), the present tense, word order, using the accusative for direct objects, and a few other odds and ends.

I see that Boris Johnson, the new London Mayor wants Latin to be taught in all London schools. However I would prefer Esperanto on the basis that it helps all language learning.
Five British schools have introduced Esperanto in order to test its propaedeutic values. The pilot project is being monitored by the University of Manchester and the initial encouraging results can be seen at http://www.springboard2languages.org/Summary%20of%20evaluation,%20S2L%20Phase%201.pdf

Pope Gregrory also used this language this year in his Urbi et Orbi address from the Vatican, at Christmas.
If you have time can I ask you to visit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YHALnLV9XU and a glimpse of Esperanto can be seen at http://www.lernu.net
