ANST - lingua latina - teaching pronunciation

[Rikki Mitman]

Better yet, why not add such classes to the database of Classes Available in
Ansteorra? (Now offering nearly 180 classes!) There is one class on Medieval
Latin offered already, but more teachers in different locations would be
wonderful. Especially if someone can offer pronunciations of other
languages, too, as thoughtfully suggested by Lady Adela.

For more information about adding classes to or scheduling classes from the
Classes Available in Ansteorra database, please contact me off line at
esmitman at ghg.net and I will gladly rattle on further.

If you could throw in some of the Gaelic languages (Welsh, Irish, etc.),
and handouts for each language, I'm sure it'd be very welcome ---
especially among the heralds.

Right now we have to take the attitude of 'if you pick a name that's
difficult to pronounce, expect for it to get butchered'.

Another view is that we all are travelers to foreign lands..... our names
will get butchered in different lands.

Why don't you post this offer on the heralds list?  (Of course, you may
want to wait until Gulf Wars is over as many are gone, or will soon be
leaving.)
