I've seen quite a bit of chatter about a latin learning thread. So I thought I'd just go ahead and make one.
Post what you're studying, how you're studying and your useful resources. A reasonable amount of shitposting in Latin encouraged.
I personally use wheelocks Latin I'm reading a parallel translation of commentarii de bello gallico reading the English and Latin and translating passages with a dictionary where I already have an idea of its content.
Translate this into Latin:
Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead
Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Been going over my pronoun tables today. Really wanna nail them before I move on.
There's so damn many of them...
Thank you OP. This is what I'm really looking for.
Right, are you actually taking note of the conjugations/declensions or are you going on a word by word basis?
You should really nail the basic grammar first before you tackle an actual book.
Thanks user, I did two years at high school around 13-14 years ago and some of it is still deeply buried in my brain somewhere.
I use wheelocks and decided to just start from scratch again so I go through passages and find examples of grammatical structures I'm studying at that time and focus on those. In lieu of being able to converse etc I want to use it in real contexts to understand why things are expressed the way they are.
Do any of you guys have any idea about how to learn suffixes? I keep mixing them.
What is the correct way to say "God-Emperor of Man/Mankind" in Latin?
I figure it would be something like "Imperator-Deus homo". Are the forms right?
You need add genetive suffix to end if i remember so it should be hominis.
Right. I thought so, just couldn't think of which one to add.
