CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I have some familiarity with Spanish and find if I listen to high level Roman Catholics using it I understand a fair amount. I can also read it and sometimes get the gist of a sentence. I have not studied formally and would not presume to put myself forward as a translator. But I think I was generally ahead of the guy on ABC news for the papal announcement the other day.

Not as such. Like I said, I couldn't help but pick up a few phrases along the way, but for languages they were focussed on us learning Greek.

I have a few resources and you can find more in two areas. Classical Christian education is a good starting point. You’ll find a lot of information in homeschooling groups that use the curriculum or design their own along those lines. Well-Trained Mind is a good resource with recommendations for beginners. Reddit has a pretty active latin community as well with a helpful thread on language. Many people start with Wheelock‘s Latin and Amazon puts the books on sale from time to time. A combination of audio and written tools is usually best. You need to determine your level of desired proficiency beforehand and whether you’re considering other languages too. Rosetta Stone has latin and several others. It’s good starting point if you have other interests language wise. I’d opt for the lifetime deal in that case.
