:hmmm: I am not over educated but I can google 😃

very good , Mark 🙂
 
Seems a bit exclusive…you know, for us that didn’t think taking Latin in high school would be relevant and now regret that decision (myself 😦 ). If you all do, translate what you say, and I’m sure I can pick it up. Hey, I’m beginning to like this idea

Essentially it says, ‘if you can read this, you’re overeducated.’
:cool:

Suppose you are totally new to Latin just like me, maybe you can try textkit.com

That site contains some books for newbies which one can download for free

I want to learn Latin. My maternal grandfather said he took 12 years of Latin since he went to a Catholic School (he was born in 1915 so this would be back in the 1920s to 1930s). By the time I was born and raised by my maternal grandparents, he had all but left the Catholic Church due to my maternal grandmother’s grudge against the Catholic Chruch over her father not being given a Catholic funeral or burial since his death was suspect as suicide.😦

Hi Mark,

Yes…“The Enterprise of God”

“The expense is reckoned, the enterprise is begun; it is of God, it cannot be withstood. So the faith was planted: so it must be restored.”

From The Brag and it reminds us of all we do is with God and for God… 🙂
 
Fantastic! In the immortal words of The Eagles, you’re too cool for school!

:yup:

Do you think we need another forum to practice our Latin?

I answered “no” to the poll because of the wording; we obviously don’t need one. I have no objection there being one, though.
 
Are we going to start a Greek forum? A Church Slavonic forum? A Ukranian forum?
 
👍 I would love it! I do not know Latin very well and have a great fascination about the language. So I voted, YES!
 
It would be great to have a Latin forum! :dancing: I just started learning Latin in the fall and I love it. (see my sig) Some of you more knowledgeable people will have to come and correct my grammar, though. 😃

Primer of Ecclesiastical Latin is very popular for teaching the Church’s Latin

There are other popular books like the famous Wheelock’s. I like Wheelock, but Primer of Ecclesiastical Latin would be more helpful in learning the vocabulary used in the Church’s Liturgy, canon law, etc.
 
What little I remember, I learned from Italian priests. I prefer it to the “scholarly” versions that claim a better understanding of classical pronounciation.

Don’t know if it’s already been sugested, but it could be called the Latin Quarter.

Trick question: Did Cicero say Way-nee weedy wee-chee, or Vein-ee Vee-dee Vee-chee?

Jim.

I’m not so sure but didn’t Cicero speak Greek?

Cicero didn’t say it; Julius Caesar did.

Ahhh yes…Julius Ceasar . You know this is more interesting than I thought…

Now from what text did this come from: & who

Constantly regard the universe as one living being, having one substance and one soul; and observe how all things have reference to one perception, the perception of this one living being; and how all things act with one movement; and how all things are the cooperating causes of all things which exist; observe too the continuous spinning of the thread and the contexture of the web.
