[Paulo]

salvetes omnes!

Hello, my name is Paul. I'm 18 (soon 19) and from Indiana.

I've had no formal education trying to learn Latin, but I have been interested in it for a while and only recently trying to learn it, and I just found this forum today!

After reading Julius Caesar in High School for an English class, I was interested in Ancient Rome, and then by extent, Latin. I also have a hobby of games, and games like Rome 1/2 add fuel to fire of my interest in the history and language. Another thing that leads me to my interest, or perhaps I became interested in it from my other influences, is the fictional books of Warhammer 40,000 , which has Roman/Latin influences in it.

Right now I am trying stuff out like Rosetta Stone and whatever websites I can find to try to learn Latin and also find good example texts (But all I can find that frustrated me was Lorem Ipsum, or generated filler for empty web pages) such as pdf books in the original Latin.

I have tried other languages in the past that are much alive such as Russian (which almost the entirety of half my family overseas speaks), and Spanish which I had in High School, but was disinterested at the time so I did not pass or learn much. I have an interest in Latin that has been renewed over and over from the what I continue to learn, and I hope for myself I stick to it, and I hope to enjoy going onto your boards! Thank you

- (I was surprised "Paulo" wasn't already taken as it is the Latin version of Paul!)

Welcome, Paul. Your name in Latin is Paulus (nominative case). "Paulo" is the dative or the ablative.

Oh, thanks! In that case could my username be changed if available ?
