Some people regard Latin as a dead language. One would think if it is really a dead language, there would not be any interest in learning it.

However, following my earlier letter (September AD2000) on the importance of learning Latin, I was surprised by the large number of responses I received from readers.

If there are others interested in Latin, they can contact me on (02) 6249 6939, or email me at karatt@ozemail.com.au
