Latin Lessons?!

[Silvca]

Yes that's right..I'll try to give Latin lessons! :3 Since there aren't so many resources out there I want to help and contribute to the small growing stack of Latin lessons on the web.

In Latin there are no articles such as: the, a, an.
Therefore when translating you must put in those articles yourself whenever necessary.

In Latin the order of the words do not matter. As a matter of fact the way they are spelled tells you their meaning.

The alphabet is like the English language in a way. They are identical. However there isn't a j and w in Latin.

Latin uses i for i and j. V is for v and w.

The letter k is used in Latin but it is rare.

There is also y and z which was taken from Greek.
