Put a little Latin in your soul or put a little Latin in your vocabulary repertoire

I'm afraid the only Latin that I ever really learned was out of the Missal, and Harrius Potter et Philosophi Lapis. However, this book helps you grasp those Latin quickies in other books and newspapers. When I have time, I'm going to try Rosetta Stone Latin - Lingua Latina. There are maps to show where Latin crept into our world, a timeline of the city of Rome, and a good index if you know what you are looking for. Too bad it does not go the other way and show you the English translation in the index. While not quite an encyclopedia, it is more than just a dictionary of translations and gives you the background and meaning of each Latin phrase.
