Can you translate this small Latin passage?(NO ONLINE TRANSLATOR)?

Pueros et puellas docere amamus. Discipuli magistram amant. Docere discipulos est gratum (pleasing). Litterae* nos (us) de historia Romanorum docebunt. In ludo multi (many) discipuli sunt. discipuli linguam Latinam* discere* maturant|||We love to teach the boys and girls. The pupils love their teacher. It's pleasant to teach the pupils. Letters will teach us about the history of the Romans. Many pupils are at play. The pupils are hastening to learn the Latin language|||Hello.





Chuck above got it alright! I just want to point out not to worry, that it is impossible to use an online translator as Latin is too heavily inflected as well as having different syntax. No translator can adjust for this and even simpler languages come out dreadful.





Cheers,
