Terence and Jennifer Tunberg, his wife, have translated a number of children's books into Latin.

[3] They described translations of The Grinch as difficult, given the informality of the language, but attempted something that was playful but not so idiomatic as to be hard to read.

[4][5] Together with Milena Minkova, Tunberg founded an MA programme in Latin that uses the language as the medium of instruction in the University of Kentucky in 2000.

Students from these programmes have gone on to found their own Living Latin events around the US, helping to build the practice.

[7] He was elected a fellow of the Academia Latinitati Fovendae in 1998, an institution that promotes the use of spoken Latin.
