Here is Octavio telling the Beatitudes ( Matt 5:1-10) in Greek.
This is by no means an example to follow in pronunciation We just have some fun doing the video, also, memorizing fragments in other language helps to learn the grammar.
I am happy I found these books (pictures below) now that my son is still very young. The first should be read by the boys, it covers all the basics aspects of manners and etiquette (Older boys could beneficiate from How to be Gentleman). The second books is to be read by the parents, it cover courtesy, and how to teach the boys to be sensitive and considerate to others people feelings.
Octavio loves Visual Latin, especially, he likes the jokes that sometimes, Mr. Thomas tells in the lessons.
He decided to send a new joke to Mr. Thomas. With the help of an online dictionary and the grammar he has learned so far, Octavio was able to write a short letter, here it is.
The translation:
Hello Mr. Thomas:
I am Octavio, your student, I live in Saudi Arabia, I love your jokes.
I have a joke:
One day, the carrot, the flower and the onion are in the market. A man comes to the market, he touches the carrot, the carrot shouts “carrot”. The man touches the flower, the flower shouts “flower”. Next, the man touches the onion, the onion shouts “carrot, flower, carrot, flower” because the onion is crazy.
Bye, bye
oops: There is a “typo” at the end of the letter, It should say “cepe delira” no “carota delira”. He made a mistake when copy the letter in clean paper. He likes the word carota
This is not a post about Homeschooling; this is a post about my persona hobby: Bake and decorate cookies. Also, I like to investigate about artisan bread and others oven goodies.
