Scisne Latine?

I am still compiling a list of suggestions of things to do for my 30 days project. It is proving to be quite tricky as it needs to be something sustainable and that keeps my interest.  I know I want to do something around languages so I am proposing to write down and learn 10 Latin words, quotes or phrases a day for 30 days.  At school, I never had the opportunity to learn Latin so here is my chance!

The above photo is of firethorn (common name) that grows in abundance around my garden.  I know it by the botanical and Latin name of pyracantha.  I wonder how many other Latin names I already know and use?

* Scisne Latine = Do you know Latin?

Thirty Days

I am going to try and follow the advice given by Matt Cutts and try something new for thirty days. As he says 'the next 30 days are going to pass whether you like it or not, so why not think about something you have always wanted to try and give it a shot for the next 30 days.'

I think this will be a great way of making each month more memorable and I won't feel as though the months have flown by without achieving anything which is just how I have been feeling lately.  I am excited about all the new things I could learn such as finding out all I possibly can about British butterflies or learn ten new words a day (that would be 300 a month!), research a particular historical figure, research a particular county or country etc.  The possibilities are endless!

What I need to do now is come up with a list of new things that I want to learn or know more about.  I will be starting this on the 1st November and will continue every month (30 days) onwards. Please feel free to join in.  By the end of 12 months I will have a folder full of information that I was previously unaware of and a log of what I have achieved over the course of one year.
