New tool that's out: a system that takes real texts and interweaves the original language with an English translation. The amount of interweaving appears to be dynamic & configurable.

“Even when I went off to the First World War, I carried Ariosto’s masterpiece in my map case; I replaced it with Tristram Shandy, for disappointment was inevitable. Marx captured the dilemma in his pithy question, ‘Is an Iliad possible in the age of gunpowder?’”
— Ernst Jünger.

Anyone who has played competitive sports knows this
My dad sent me to private baseball camps from the time I was old enough to throw a ball. Hired an old Washington Senators pitcher to teach me to throw a fastball. Spent hours in the batting cage with me.
By high school, it didn't matter. I watched a teammate with no added formal coaching get drafted because he was 6'2" at 16 and could hit the ball a mile while I was scrapping for any playing time I could get.
Life's not fair.
Get good at as much as you can and outwork everyone for as long as you can.

Inspired by my Rosarium course, my Latin student David created a wonderful set of Rosary cards for use in church, incorporating several historical manuscript illustrations that we studied together during the course.
What a beautiful thing it is to keep the flame of tradition alive!
