new on-line Latin resource: Tres Columnae

annapmagistra — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 20:32:25 +0000

There is a new on-line Latin resource (still under development) called Tres Columnae. It is a “Latin Learning Community,” which will be open to anyone, and the aim is for those who join up to contribute to it … add to the stories, provide pictures and videos, join a virtual seminar. Contributors will be credited. To find out more, take a look at:

www.trescolumnae.com

It can be used as a supplementary resource with any text (or none) and GCSE vocabulary will be targeted. I’m helping to develop it, so let me know if you have questions, or just ask them at the Tres Columnae blog.
ut valeatis!
