You may be able to get on the Cambridge Latin Course (the best; much better than that Ecce Romani! malarky!
), which is taught by e-mail. My housemate is doing an MA in Classics, and he earns about £350 a year by marking the work for this. There should be some info on the Cambridge website.
You can buy the Cambridge Latin Course textbooks on Amazon, if you want to learn unaided. I highly recommend them! 'Caecilius est in horto... Grumio est in culina... Quintus est in atrium...''It is the duty of righteous men to make war on all undeserved privilege.' - Primo Levi0 -

I did Latin for O level many years ago, no fun for us though it was treated very seriously at our school.
Our school song was originally in Latin and the chorus bit still was "Semper et ubiqe idem" sounded like a load of strangled cats when we had to sing it along with the school orchestra on prize night LOL.0 -
i seem to remeber hearing about a latin translation of 'winnie the pooh' kicking about the usa about 35 years ago. maybe it's still around.0

Dr. Seuss' "The Cat in the Hat" is good in Latin (Cattus Petasatus) and is probably available on amazon.com. I heard "Virent Ova, Viret Perna" is out there somewhere too.0

Good to hear that people are still studying it. :beer:
A very, very prestigious 'A' Level to have.
If you're studying Ovid's Metamorphoses (Book XII) or Virgil's The Aeneid (Book VI), let me know.
