Week 82 Catch-Up Day

Here is the new catch-up day post for the past two weeks of sayings. As usual, there is a cat-show of those sayings, plus a link to the downloadable crossword and the self-quiz. Plus, in case you missed it: A New Beginner's Latin: THE AENEID. We've been at it for a few weeks now, and it's been very fun! (This is an experiment with a learner who took Latin literally 80 years ago... and wants to try reading Vergil, so the assumption is just that you might be aware of some of the terminology of Latin grammar, but no specifics, so I try to explain everything as we go... and it's been go-go-go for a few weeks now, including the meter starting this week!)

• #231: More 4th-declension -us nouns
• #232: Spiritus sayings
• Week 81 Vocabulary Review
• #233: More practice with 4th-declension nouns
• #234: Wrapping up the 4th declension

So, let's start with the slideshow with all the sayings. You can read out loud, first with the English to remind you of the vocabulary... and then read out loud again with the cat!

I also made a printable crossword PDF as usual, and the same prompts for the crossword are used in the quiz questions below. Enjoy!
