A Pain-Free Method of Learning Latin

I've just discovered a great character that I didn't know existed: Minimus: The Mouse That Made Latin Cool. I love learning languages, and I think Latin should be required for every child. Minimus is a great way for students to ease into learning a language, a culture, and a history. As the website says, "The course centres on a real family who lived at Vindolanda in 100AD: Flavius, the fort commander, his wife Lepidina, their three children, assorted household slaves, their cat Vibrissa - and Minimus the mouse! It features many of the artefacts and writing tablets from the Vindolanda excavations." So far there are two books out: Minimus and Minimus Secundus. You can start learning Latin online by visiting the comic strip. Alternately, you can learn how to make your own Roman sandals. Via In The Middle.
