After taking Latin from Fr. Reginald "Reggie" Foster - known as the "Pope's Latinist" - I tried to capture some of his "Experience" for learning Latin. Please note: While Fr. Foster is aware of this website he is not responsible and it is entirely unauthorized. (See his quote to the right.)

Please note: I am not Fr. Foster. Go here for more info.

Instructions: With just a little memorization, Fr. Foster teaches you Latin from the dictionary. So find a good Latin dictionary, and you are ready to learn.

Who am I?

Salve optime Fosteri!

"Now look here friend. That website of yours is entirely unauthorized. People think I have something to do with it and they're wrong. I don't even use a computer. And if they think I'm going to correct those homeworks... isti errant."
- Fr. Reggie Foster

Why is there no Second Experience? Second experience is "Conversational Latin", and thus can't be captured like Fr. Foster's other classes.

Where are the answers? The answers to the homeworks used to not be posted online, as one must do all the homeworks in their entirety in order to learn.
