Read the first line of Vicipaedia

Vicipaedia is Wikipedia written in Latin. Its article on Rome opens with a sentence you can nearly read already.

Open Vicipaedia: Roma, the Latin Wikipedia's article on Rome. Its first sentence is: Roma est urbs in Latio ad Tiberim flumen sita, caput Latii atque Italiae. Find urbs, flumen and caput, work out the rest, and only then check yourself against the English Wikipedia's first line.

Open the site and have a look around. You won't understand most of it yet - that's fine. Spotting even one or two words you already know on a real page is the point.

Read it in Latin

Roma est urbs. Roma caput Italiae est.

Rome is a city. Rome is the capital of Italy.
