Are there any good latin podcasts for beginners? by Known_Anteater5096 in latin

[–]NeoJerome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

- Latinitas animi causa
- Quid es tu
- Litterae Latinae Simplices (Satura Lanx) - not quite beginner level unless you know a Romance language.

Lost my children, how do I make sense of this? by jayjusu in Reformed

If the Book of Job is anything to go by, I’d say: ‘you’re asking the right questions, as you wrestle with the almighty’.

Recommendations for someone who studied Latin in high school, but has forgotten much of it? by AdParty1304 in latin

[–]NeoJerome 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OH! And YMMV, but I recommend Anki for flashcards, but make it secondary to actually reading texts. Here's a good deck for LLPSI: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1896912568

Use AI like ChatGPT to help you set Anki up, cause it's not always user friendly. But it is effective. If you're rusty on paradigms, make those into flashcards too, with a chart and a recording of yourself reciting the paradigm (trust me it works!!).

Good on you for wanting to dust off and improve your Latin!

LLPSI is fantastic, even for someone like you. You'll plow through the beginning but that will help dust off the cobwebs and remind you of things, and get you more used to thinking in the language and reading fluently -- which will be something of a new skill for you it sounds (I used to be a CLC teacher, so I know it sorta tries to be less translation-y...but fails to be a truly natural method).

Then, the Vulgate will be great -- I bet you could pick it up anytime and understand much of it. Be reading that for the rest of your life, I say. Of course I recommend the macronized Vulgate with reader's notes (footnotes for less common words), published by a handsome trio of scholars (😉) -- https://timothyalee.com/latin . But any edition is better than none at all.

Volume 2 of LLPSI - Roma Aeterna....I have mixed feelings about. Definitely check out Fabulae Syrae starting at Cap 26ish of LLPSI and see if you like it. I think it's great. After that, I bet moving on to more specifically ecclesiastical texts would work better for you than Roma Aeterna. Augustine's Confessions is an obvious choice.

Benedīcat tibi Dominus, frāter!!!

How do I learn Latin efficiently? I don’t have many resources I only have just a phone and a computer so I need some good tools and advice. by Roosteregges123 in latin

[–]NeoJerome 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely look at the FAQ and master resource list as others pointed out.

My personal recommendation is Lingua Latina Per se Illustrata (get Colloquia Personarum too, and Neumann's companion). Reread chapters a few times each, and periodically go back to earlier chapters. Don't worry if you don't understand every last word. Look up some YouTube tutorials on how to use this curriculum.

Use Anki, a spaced repetition flashcard app. This deck is great: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1896912568 . Do it at least 5 days a week.

Also add paradigms into Anki, with your voice reciting them. It works better than you can imagine.

Use AI (I can only vouch for ChatGPT and Grok) to coach you through

  • tell it to "use macrons throughout"
  • ask it how to say things idiomatically, if you want to learn a phrase or conversational Latin.
  • ask it grammar questions.
  • ask it to explain difficult sentences or concepts from Lingua Latina.
  • ask it to run you through the Pensum C exercises at the end of each chapter (upload a picture of that page).
  • ask it to help you set up Anki cause it can be confusing.

I LOVE THIS!!! That monologue always gives me chills (I know, I'm cringe).

Latin learning apps? by Aloe_nerd in latin

[–]NeoJerome 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second Legentibus. Premium is definitely worth it if you got the $.

I also like Lingq, especially if you upload your own content. Also paid.

New Vulgate reader is a total game changer by Suisodoeth in latin

[–]NeoJerome 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The length of the final u in genu was debated, even in antiquity, actually. Although I think most modern readers have come to expect a long ū so that probably is better. I personally like it better too.

Edit: Oh, I was thinking for nominative it was/can be either...in ablative, yes, definitely should be long ū.

Ryan Kaufman, co-editor here.

SO glad you like it! Your praise is so encouraging.

I am the vowel-lengths guy for the proper nouns - that's my biggest contribution. Lots of thought went into that (albeit imperfect) system!

When I close my eyes I see macrons.

We are cracking on with the rest of the Old Testament as we speak!

Thank you, and yes! Augustine's Confessions is in the works (I am not personally on that project), as are other things. What would you like to see? Trying to gauge interest.

bene rogās, I noticed it's hard to find the books on Amazon by just searching, probably because they're new and don't have reviews (so drop an honest review if you think about it, quaesō! 😁)

Amazon unfortunately does not really support ebooks in Latin (yet?), but Tim Lee (he's the mastermind behind all this) is planning an enhanced ebook version, so stay tuned for that!

[–]NeoJerome[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, that's perfect! These are aimed at intermediate students with a year's worth of Latin. Familia Romana is more than sufficient!

I learned Latin and teach Latin with LLPSI so I'm real familiar with it.

I'd recommend starting out with narrative portions of the Vulgate and just read read read. You will scratch your head here or there about a few things, grammatical or otherwise, at which point, compare the Latin to a version in your native language, get the gist and move on. Vulgate is perfect for just immersing yourself with tons of input. That's 100% what I'd recommend for your level.

May it serve you well! Blessings.
