Antiochus of Seleucia Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 May some of our esteemed Latin users take a peek at this and tell me if it's for real? If so, I'm going to take a serious look into this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLavius Valerius Constantinus Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 I'm sorry, but this is a joke. In fact, methinks that website made Latin 1 even harder then when I was in Latin 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docoflove1974 Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 Just the webpage actually has nothing new. It's another way of describing subject-object-verb word order and the concepts of case and gender. I didn't go to the second lesson, but I imagine that it's more of the same.

Ludovicus Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 Thanks for the link to Latin made easy site! It serves as a good review of Latin 1. Anyone know of a good site that gives instruction in Vulgar (as in popular speech) Latin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docoflove1974 Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 I don't know about a website (I'd be interested in that!), but the general work that I use to look up information on the subject is Veikko Vaanaanen's 'Introduction to Vulgar Latin'; it's been published in French and Spanish, and I imagine in other languages (I have the Spanish version, 1988, Gredos). It's a linguistic book, so some knowledge of linguistics is required, but it's overall a solid reference for Vulgar Latin. I usually back that up with Josef Herman's (2000) Vulgar Latin (Penn State Press); this is an updated version of his French volume of the same name. This also requires some knowledge of linguistics, but is a short overview of the language. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skiman305 Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 You know, I was actually thinking about writing up some basic Latin lessons to post on this very site. I took a quick look through the link AofS posted, and I think whoever did that made things more complicated than they have to be. Would anyone be interested in such a thing?

Yes definitely, my Latin is pretty much non existent so every little helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metrodorus Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 After looking around online for Latin language learning materials, I discovered there wasn't a lot available, so I've recently set up the Latinum Podcast, which now has many hours of spoken Latin on it for download, including language lessons. 25 000 file downloads last month, this month will be even higher it seems.
