- Ciao Alec!
I really like the idea of poems, I have a suggestion to make it be a bit more useful. Why don\'t you try to explain what\'s grammatically important in each poem? I mean, you could give some grammar hints referring to the pome. I had had a similar idea months ago to teach/study German but due to my lack of knowledge of German poems I had to give up. I\'m sure you wouldn\'t have such a problem. Obviously Catullus\' poems aren\'t exactly the best ones to start with for a beginner, due to the strong informality of language of most of them... or maybe that might be a way to make understand students that latin is not such a strict language, who knows?=o)

- Good idea Leo!
Actually Catullus\'s poems are not so easy for beginner but they are absolutely wonderful. Maybe I\'ll try with something written by Phaedrus or Igino.
Thank you for your suggestion!
