Title: Congratulations in German
Body: From http://german.about.com There are many expressions of good wishes in German that you just can't translate word for word, no matter how short they are. For instance, translating 'Happy birthday' into German would result in Frohen Geburtstag, which is less commonly said in Germany. In this article, you'll find the right expression to say or write to that German friend or relative that is current for different occasions: http://german.about.com/od/idiomsandproverbs/tp/Congratulations-In-German.htm?nl=1

Title: Latin 2-4 Lesson: Music and Manuscripts
Body: From http://www.learner.org/libraries/tfl/latin/dabbieri/index.html Watch a video of a Latin lesson that incorporates music: In this multilevel lesson, students learn to distinguish between translation and interpretation in a classical language class. While the Latin IV students translate a passage from Vergil's Aeneid, Latin II-III students discuss how Mozart's opera Il sogno di Scipione reflects themes from Cicero's Somnium Scipionis. The class then comes together to create their own versions of Latin manuscripts and make historical connections to Roman culture. Watch the video and access resources associated with this lesson at http://www.learner.org/libraries/tfl/latin/dabbieri/index.html

Title: Article: Gestures Should Be Part of Language Learning
Body: From http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/global_learning/2012/02/to_learn_a_new_language_youve_got_to_move_more_than_your_mouth.html To Learn A New Language, You've Got to Move More Than Your Mouth! By Anthony Jackson February 24, 2012 A study reported in the journal Mind, Brain, and Education (Volume 5, Issue 4, pages 196-211, December 2011) shows that the use of gestures "empowers foreign language learning." According to the study, learners of an artificial language were able to use words that were encoded through gestures more frequently than words that were simply memorized, "demonstrating their enhanced accessibility in memory." What is somewhat more surprising about this work is that it suggests that gestures are useful for encoding not just action words, but even more abstract terms. A New Scientist (January 9, 2012) report on the study points out that this method worked for abstract words, such as "rather," that have no obvious gestural equivalent just as well as it did for words that have a physical counterpart, such as "cut."
