VOX LATINA

Vol. LXVIII No. 1 April 17, 2015

SALVETE · OMNES Welcome to the LXVIII Washington-British Columbia

Junior Classical League Convention!

As we celebrate the contributions of classical society,

we cannot overlook the official language of Rome, Latin.

Latin has been called a dead language, but it’s only dead

if you don’t know it! Included in this booklet are phrases

and basic vocabulary for conversational Latin, many of

which have been excepted from Conversational Latin for

Oral Proficiency by John C. Traupman.

Why not see how long you can talk with others

VOCE LATINA (with your ‘Latin voice’)?
