Pray for me...

For I'm beginning down the road to teach myself Latin. I'm starting with John F. Collins' Primer of Ecclesiastical Latin and I augmented it with Leo F. Stelten's Dictionary of Ecclesiastical Latin. My wife already thinks I'm nuts. More nuts than normal, anyway. I hope to be able to read Aquinas and Augustine by the end of the year, and at some point I intend to augment this with a study of "classical" Latin. From there, with any luck, I'll find a way to learn either Greek or Hebrew - I haven't decided which just yet. But that's a long way off...
