Well Jeff, you can also pray to St. Jerome (the translator of the Latin Vulgate and Patron Saint of Students).

Yes, prayer is definitely essential. Esse - hey, that's Latin too! I just can't get away from it ... it follows me everywhere!
The fact that it is only the first week is my consolation. I'm not having much difficulty with the vocab, as that's just memorization (I've started notecards too Jeffrey), but it's the Sententiae that give me problems.
But it's only the difficult things that are worth learning, right? They ultimately provide the most gratification (grati - another Latin word, ah!)

fructuosis potiri potes!
If you can read this sign, you can get a good job in the fast-paced,
high-paying world of Latin! Sona si Latine loqueris.
Honk if you speak Latin. Ne auderis delere orbem rigidum meum! Don't you dare erase my hard disk!
Mihi ignosce. Cum homine de cane debeo congredi.
Excuse me. I've got to see a man about a dog. Aio, quantitas magna frumentorum est.
Yes, that is a very large amount of corn. Recedite, plebes! Gero rem imperialem! Stand aside plebians! I am on imperial business. Vacca foeda
Stupid cow Die dulci fruere.
Have a nice day. Catapultam habeo. Nisi pecuniam omnem mihi dabis, ad caput tuum saxum immane mittam.
I have a catapult. Give me all the money, or I will fling an enormous
rock at your head. Gramen artificiosum odi.
I hate Astroturf. Furnulum pani nolo.
I don't want a toaster. Sentio aliquos togatos contra me conspirare.
I think some people in togas are plotting against me. Nihil curo de ista tua stulta superstitione.
I'm not interested in your dopey religious cult. Noli me vocare, ego te vocabo.
Don't call me, I'll call you. Cave ne ante ullas catapultas ambules.
If I were you, I wouldn't walk in front of any catapults. Canis meus id comedit.
My dog ate it. Illiud Latine dici non potest.
You can't say that in Latin. Vidistine nuper imagines moventes bonas?
Seen any good movies lately? Braccae illae virides cum subucula rosea et tunica Caledonia-quam
elenganter concinnatur!
Those green pants go so well with that pink shirt and the plaid jacket! Visne saltare? Viam Latam Fungosam scio.
Do you want to dance? I know the Funky Broadway.
Re vera, potas bene.
Say, you sure are drinking a lot. Utinam barbari spatium proprium tuum invadant!
May barbarians invade your personal space! Utinam coniurati te in foro interficiant!
May conspirators assassinate you in the mall! Utinam logica falsa tuam philosophiam totam suffodiant!
May faulty logic undermine your entire philosophy! Spero nos familiares mansuros.
I hope we'll still be friends. Mellita, domi adsum.
Honey, I'm home. Magister Mundi sum!
I am the Master of the Universe! Prehende uxorem meam, sis!
Take my wife, please! Nihil est--in vita priore ego imperator Romanus fui. That's nothing--in a previous life I was a Roman Emperor. Sic faciunt omnes. Everyone is doing it. Fac ut vivas. Get a life. Anulos qui animum ostendunt omnes gestemus!
Let's all wear mood rings! Te audire no possum. Musa sapientum fixa est in aure.
I can't hear you. I have a banana in my ear.

I want 7+ children. What is more foolish than to treat a gift from God as though it is a preventative disease? I AM A SICK MAN... I AM A SPITEFUL MAN.

I made a harmless, fun post and I know a little Latin. It slipped my mind for a moment that this was the segregated area.
Ask a mod to remove it if it offends you.

No, I just see her post in the Christian only forums from time to time, and I was just wondering if I had misunderstood her. I made a harmless, fun post and I know a little Latin. It slipped my mind for a moment that this was the segregated area. Ask a mod to remove it if it offends you.
It didn't, I was just making sure.

A little secret if you need help with the Sententiae, most of them are on the web.
