LATIN GROUP: Latin was the language of ancient Rome, which gave us some of the important ideas and literature in the Western world, and
although some people say it is dead, it is in fact immortal. It is the source of much of our vocabulary and grammar, and is the origin of at least four
other languages. To find out how it works come to H17 at lunchtime on Thursday.
