LATIN: some simple discussions

[jimmy]

Nice one. It means “I am learning the Latin language.” At least, I think it does, because no one has corrected me yet.

Ok, bear with me. I’ve got to look up that first sentence, and a lot of the rest. What I’ve got so far: “something something, one road. something something something, I did not want, but I often something.” I’m probably somewhat wrong. To make it more interesting, though, I don’t think I’ll Google. Maybe I’ll pull out my handy dandy Cambridge Latin book.

This is fun already… but don’t mind me. :whacky:

I don’t think you need the ego. The I is expressed in the verb disco.

Since every seems so enthusiastic about latin, maybe I could put some parts of homilies by Gregory the Great up some time if anyone would like to try some translation?

Why not?

Why not?

OK, I will put some up this weekend.

all i remember is declension and genetive and case, and agricolae…

Ha! that’s about all I remember too (but I caught the whole sentence: Agricolae est portum frumentum. (or maybe “fermentum?”)

Yay! Someone actually paid enough attention to correct it! Thanks.

Sorry for the ignorance again, but what does “adjuvante” mean?

This is so cool! I’m planning on learning Latin this summer so I’ll definetly come back to this thread. I bought myself Latin for Dummies, it’s a fairly good for a learn-it-yourself!

I thought I’d resurrect this thread in the interests of creating a Latin Forum. I’ve sprinkled a few bits of Latin around some threads, so maybe it’s time to make a permanent home here for lingua Ecclesiae. Church Latin is not hard; I’d like to see more of the faithful learn it.

We can start with a simple exchange of quidquid (whatever) and move on to more serious stuff. Maybe we could put together a letter in Latin to our Pontifex Summus? He likes the language.
:tiphat: to tee_eff_em!

I’m all for it!

Does anyone know if they have tapes to learn Latin? I have a book on ecclesiastical latin, but it would be easier if I had some sort of audio as well.

Good question. I picked up the pronunciation by serving indult Masses. I was coached by my Latin teacher. Somewhere on a thread I mentioned how profitable it can be to learn EL pronunciation. OK, you can’t make a living off it, but it comes in handy once in a while.

 

[severinus]

I found this on the web. I cannot vouch for it, but the pickings seem to be slim:
latintrivium.com/orderm.htm

It might be worth a look.

There’s info on a classical latin study list at ravendays.org/latin/lists/listindex.html I started studying latin but had to stop due to a new baby. I’m hoping to be able to pick it back up shortly. The book that was recomended was Wheelock’s Latin, 6th ed. Somewhere I have a link to a website that a professor had pronounciation files, but I can’t find it at the moment.

I use Wheelock for tutoring. It’s thorough and gradual. I used Classical pronunciation during my studies, and came to EL later on.

Bonam Fortunam!

There is a set of tapes and a text from the Familia Sancti Hieronymi (Family of Saint Jerome), called the Cursus Linguae Latinae Vivae – If you’d rather read their product list in English , try this link instead Course on the Living Latin Language.

The LatinStudy list is a very cool resource, if you can handle the traffic of the multiple groups sharing it. In addition to several Wheelock groups, there is a group working through John F Collins’s Primer of Ecclesiastical Latin that started last spring (and who knows? maybe one will start again next spring?), a couple of classical and medival texts, and a group that translates portions of the Nova Vulgata.

(who “graduated” from last year’s Collins group, and may jump into a Wheelock group at any moment, so he can finish the last 4 (arrrgh!) chapters that he missed on his first pass through that text)
