Ive learnt jokes or songs in ten languages so
far and its brought me so much joy. This Latin book for children is first and foremost a really enjoyable story, but its also my way of helping little learners engage with a new language, empathise with strangers and ultimately build a love of languages. And it happens without them realising. Any parent who has ever tried to smuggle vegetables into pasta sauce will know that you can get a lot of good stuff into things without kids realising. This book is the same Latin for kids can be fun. I want you all to have fun together and enjoy the story. All the learning is a bonus the icing on the cake or the extra veg in the sauce. The idea that after a few reads, kids will be able to go up to a native speaker and tell them in their own language Ive lost my hat fills me with joy. Imagine how proud the child will feel. And imagine how proud youll feel too I hope you have as much fun reading this Latin book for kids as I had writing it. Learn Latin kids Mark
