		+	=== APRIL 8TH - QUESTION # 5 - LAST QUESTION ===
		+
		+	Now we will do something extraordinary! The tast today is to practice some spoken Latin. You have to study this page:
		+
		+	http://www.novaroma.org/nr/Latin_phrasebook
		+
		+	This page will help you to prepare to the colloquial Latin. Because the next exercise is to call me on Skype or Google Talk, and to answer some basic Latin questions which are included in the page of which I have given the link above. Some of the questions will be exactly the same ones that you can learn from the Nova Roman Latin Phrasebook, but some questions will be asked by me spontaneously. But don't be afraid! Points will be given for every good answer, and it will not be a problem if you can't answer all of my questions: you will be able to collect many points even if you answer only a small part of my Latin questions in the Skype or Google Talk discussion.
		+
		+	Maximum amount of points available is 100 pts.
		+
		+	You have to connect me on this Skype address:
		+
		+	cn.lentulus
		+
		+	Or in this Google Talk address:
		+
		+	cn.corn.lent.
		+
		+	Any of the above addresses are equally good to contact me. After you have added me as your contact, we will arrange the short colloquial exercise session.
		+
		+	The deadline to contact me is 15th April.
		+
		+	The sooner the better!

added Q 4

	==== Answers 3 ====		==== Answers 3 ====
		+
		+
		+	=== APRIL 7TH - QUESTION # 4 ===
		+
		+	We continue playing with vocabulary. Read the Latin "Declaration of Nova Roma", our founding document:
		+
		+	http://www.novaroma.org/nr/LA:Declaration_%28Nova_Roma%29
		+
		+	After you have understood every single part of it, reduce the number of words to as small as it is possible, while maintaining proper grammar and syntax, and keeping the essential meaning of every statement of the Declaration. Points are given for each word left out from the original text if the grammar and syntax are not violated.
		+
		+	An example, the first sentence of the Declaration of Nova Roma:
		+
		+	'''ORIGINAL''':
		+
		+	:''Nos, Senatus Populusque Novus Romanus, ut fundamenta Occidentalis civilizationis restituta sint, denuntiamus Novam Romam conditam esse tamquam sui iuris gentem.''
		+	:(We, the Senate and People of New Rome, in order to have restored the foundations of Western civilization, declare the founding of Nova Roma as a sovereign nation.)
		+
		+	'''SHORTENED v.1''': a moderate attempt, 4 words left out, '''SCORE: 4 pts''':
		+
		+	:''Senatus Populusque Novus Romanus, ut fundamenta Occidentalis civilizationis restituantur, denuntiat Novam Romam conditam esse gentem liberam.''
		+	:(The Senate and People of New Rome, in order to restore the foundations of Western civilization, declare the founding of Nova Roma, a free nation.)
		+
		+	'''SHORTENED v.2''': a bold attempt, 9 words purged, '''SCORE 9 pts''':
		+
		+	:''Ad fundamenta Occidentalis civilizationis restituenda denuntiamus Novam Romam conditam esse gentem liberam.''
		+	:(For restoring the foundations of Western civilization, we declare the founding of Nova Roma, a free nation.)
		+
		+	'''SHORTENED v.3''': a risky and exaggerated try, the text has lost its important message that Nova Roma is symbolically declared an "independent nation". It's a wrong solution therefore. '''SCORE: 0 pt''':
		+
		+	:''Ad fundamenta Occidentalia restituenda denuntiamus Novam Romam conditam esse.''
		+	:(For restoring the foundations of Western civilization, we declare the founding of Nova Roma, a free nation.)
		+
		+	'''ADVICE: to get the most points, try to follow the "Method 2", shorten bravely, but never purge the core message of a sentence.'''

		+	As this entry was an individual composition, there are more than one correct answers to the exercise. I present here a possible solution which could have earn the maximum scores of 30 pts.
		+
		+	:'''Title:''' Enter the Certamen Latinum!
		+
		+	:'''Latin text:''' ''Quirites, fratres sororesque, vos exhortor ut induatis arma vestrae scientiae, ut capiatis gladium artis verborum, ut arenam Certaminis Latini introeatis! Gloria Latinae, lingua quae orbem terrarum regebat, splendeat e vestris nisibus! Nolite timere! Fortes et superbi este! Romani este!''
		+
		+	:'''English translation:''' Citizens, brothers and sisters, I exhort you to don the armor of your knowledge, to take up the sword of the art of words, to enter the arena of the Certamen Latinum. Let the glory of Latin, the language that ruled the world, shine forth from your efforts! Do not be timid. Be brave and proud. Be Romans!
