Love the idea! Though I would have used the singular imperative more, so e.g.

  salūtat (he/she/it salutes) -> salūtā (salute!)  
  sedēs (you sit) -> sedē (sit!)  
  tacēte (be quiet, y'all!) -> tacē (be quiet!)
and maybe the subjunctive for "us"-suggestions, so

  ambulāmus (we walk) -> ambulēmus (let's walk)



Great improvements, gratias tibi ago. Every once in a while I sing "Non longa via est Roma" (see on youtube) and its her favorite song, changing the girls name for her name and I always get some nose kisses with it!


Adding to this, it's also not idiomatic to use an infinitive for a purpose clause in Latin. ire cacare ought to be i ut caces ('Go so you might shit').


Gratias!
