The Future of Latin
This piece has a lot going for it: it starts with a scene from "Life of Brian," moves on to training the soldiers to speak in Mel Gibson's "The Passion" and then explains why some folks think Latin, because of its clarity and purity, may have an important role in our linguistic futures. I keep returning to my Latin book, at least once every couple of months, never with the zeal I give Spanish, but enough to keep the hope alive that I may someday be able to follow the The Finnish Broadcasting Company's hugely popular weekly news bulletin, "Nuntii Latini."
