Schola - another place to communicate 100% in Latin online
Friday, June 27, 2008
Today in my post from two weeks back on a Latin 3-day gathering in Buffalo, somebody left the following message:
IF you are interested in communicating in Latin, the Schola might interest you.Ning.com looks like a really good site for this type of activity, so perhaps some lesser-known IALs might think about trying something there. Here are the rules for Schola:
http://schola.ning.com is a web 2.0 type social networking site (like facebook) but totally in Latin. Schola started in early 2008, and has around 240 members, currently picking up 2-3 new members a day, as its presence becomes known online.

Okay, so maybe not that recent. The site still seems worth signing up if you want to actually use Latin.30.05.2008, klo 10.09
Percontatrum spatiale Americanum Phoenix appellatum, postquam iter decem fere mensium confecit, in planetam Martem feliciter appulit et suis tribus pedibus nixum in solo eius constitit.
Here's one of the videos that one of the users has put up on YouTube of him showing Latin in practice:

Hey there.
Schola is growing quickly, and now, almost exactly a year after being founded, has over 700 members.
In addition, there is now a real-time chatroom, which gets busy a couple of times a day - as the number of users continues to rise, the chatroom will become busier more often.
Schola is truly international, as the only common language shared by users is Latin.
