Hi! My name is Gene Moutoux. Welcome to my home page. During a forty-year teaching career, which ended in 2004 with my retirement from Eastern High School in Louisville, Kentucky, I taught at four universities, three high schools, and a middle school. Subjects taught include German, Latin, English, mathematics, and humanities. My home is in Goshen, Kentucky, just northeast of Louisville. I have a Ph.D. in German from the University of California at Santa Barbara. My site includes eleven fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm, thirteen letters by German-speaking men and women of note, a four-part introduction to the German language, approximately 1750 Latin derivatives, two medieval Latin tales, and more than 500 examples of "old-fashioned" sentence diagrams (60 basic diagramming examples, "The Daily Diagram" and 240 archived "daily diagrams," 20 diagrams of sentences by contemporary journalists, diagrams of 16 sentences from the U.S. Constitution, a diagram of the opening sentence of the Declaration of Independence, diagrams of the complete Gettysburg Address, 44 diagrams of presidential addresses, diagrams of ten very long sentences from English literature, diagrams of 36 German sentences, diagrams of 65 Latin sentences, and more). The fairy tales, the letters, and the Latin tales are accompanied by vocabulary blocks and marginal notes. Also included on my web site are some poems that I wrote as well as descriptions of my books on sentence diagramming, Latin derivatives, the German language, German fairy tales, and German letters. I hope that you enjoy your visit. Please tell me what you like and what you don’t like; I would love to receive your questions and suggestions, too. Thanks.
