Learn Latin Free Online

My son decided he wanted to learn Latin. I suggested that he do a google search for "Learn Latin Free Online." He tried that and did not find any good resources on his own.

So I went hunting for him and this is what I found:

I went to eHow - a great website to learn "how to" do anything.
http://www.ehow.com/how_6550644_learn-latin-language.html
From that link, I found these:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfxK6fC2v6c - you tube videos about learning latin

http://www.textkit.com/ - textkit for text books to download about learning Latin and Greek

http://mylanguageexchange.com/ - My language exchange to find people to practice with
Hope others find these links helpful. 

Have fun learning!

Scholarship and the Bill of Rights

Just got this in my email this morning. For students interested in government, economics, and current events.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
The Bill of Rights Institute's Constitutional Academy Summer Program is right around the corner, and we want to invite you to have your outstanding students apply.

The Constitutional Academy is for the brightest students who want to
learn from college professors and policy experts about how government, economics, and current events connect.  Students who have just completed their sophomore, junior, or senior year of high school will spend July 15-20, 2013 digging into the Founding documents.
Scholarships are available for students who qualify, and there is no need to fill out a separate application for the scholarship.  Each student who is accepted will be automatically considered for scholarships. 

If you have talented students who would thrive at the Constitutional Academy, have them apply for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The application deadline is May 1, 2013, but applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, so encourage your student to apply today!  
 
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email Academy@BillofRightsInstitute.org.
