Latin Catch-Up Day

Today is a catch-up day to review any lesson(s) you missed this past week, and also to do whatever kind of practice you think is most fun/useful for you. You will find the list of lessons below, plus a random cat. Each cat is linked to its lesson, so you can use the cats for a random review if you want; each time you reload this post page you'll see a cat at random. Dictation is also a great review option; you can use the audio at the bottom of each lesson to practice writing down the Latin as you listen.

Also, since we are now well underway and school is starting up again, I'll be shifting now to a Monday-Friday schedule for the lessons, catch-up day on Saturday, and Sunday off. 

I hope this pace has been working for people! I promised the person who got me started on this project that the lessons would take just 10-15 minutes per day, and the way I've been measuring that is by how long it would take to read each lesson out loud (maybe 8-10 minutes?) plus time to practice the Latin sentences. If you have suggestions about how I can make the material more do-able, just let me know.

So, here are the lessons from this week, plus the random cat below; you can see the complete list of lessons on its own page.
