/lit/ - Literature

It's a part of normal high school curriculum in my country.

Yeah, but Italians always use ecclesiastical pronunciation which is wrong.

What country is it? In Italy there is usually an experimental class where you opt in to use the natural method instead of the traditional one. From what I've seen, the experimental students end up being much better, but it may be because they are the smartest and the most motivated from the start. I mean, you must be pretty interested in/proud of your intellectual prowess to decide you want to be in the Latin experimental class when you are 12.

Also, they all admit that they drill grammar on the side.

Croatia. We had classical and what we call traditional Latin in my type of school for two years. Classical gymnasium have 4 years of traditional latin and greek along with other languages. All in all I had 5 language classes including latin in "common gymnasium" type of school.

Ecclesiastical Latin is plain better. It is how Latin is still a living language that underwent the same shifts in pronunciation over the centuries as vernacular languages. People insisting on the "restituted" pronunciations are role players thinking Latin only existed between 100BC to 150AD, whereas most Latin literature was made for ecclesiastical Latin, all the while having no organic tradition to that classical era. It's fine if you decide to recite Horace with hard c and overly long vowels but cringe otherwise.

>>18945215
Absolute mad lad option: Combine classical and ecclesiastical pronounciation.

just do whatever you want.

stop browsing /lit/ and read latin. NOW.

*takes my own advice and goes back to Ovid*

>>18945195
Im about to finish part I. I plan on reading the latin translation of Winnie the Pooh after. Then reread part I and then move to part II

>>18945195
what kind of grammar does par II go over?
seems like part I covered all the basics

>>18945693
Have you tried to read Winnie Ille Pu yet?
I’d like to know if you’re able to.
ALSO what chapter are you in Familia Romana so I can see how your skills transfer

>>18945715
It doesn't do grammar.

>>18945717
i havent started winnie the pooh yet. Im on chapter 34 of lingua latina
>>18945729
so there are no lessons at the end of each chapter?

>>18945715
No grammar, only questions for teading comprehension basically.
It’s needed because real Latin was meant for the educated and adult, so there’s no children level texts. It’s basically slightly easier Latin.

>>18945380
its insanely expensive on amazon (EU).

>>18945195
I'm currently filterd by pars I as I got to like chapter 27 and fell out of the habit of studying it but I'm going to go back soon and start from the beginning for like the 3rd time.

>>18945715
>>18945742
pars 1 covers ALL the grammar. You don't even need to read pars ii and can go into real latin immediately but your vocabulary and comprehension will just be too slow.

>>18945803
What? Are you from Romania or somewhere else poor? It’s $45 w/ shipping which is barely 1 hour of journeyman work.

>>18945742
>so there are no lessons at the end of each chapter?
Much less. Many chapters don't have this section at all, the others have it shorter than in pars I. It's about very specific subjects.

not that guy but 50 USD is fucking pricey for a book

Why the fuck would I waste my time learning that fucking shit. Literally the 10th most used coding language is more useful than that crap.

>>18945633
>Ecclesiastical Latin is plain better
>it fucks up the meter
no it isn't at all. Also there are many words that are more etymologically correct pronunced in Classical than Ecclesiastical thus making the pronunciation more authentic even from a 'living language' point of view. Ecclesiastical pronunciation is just a medieval fuck up like Erasmian pronunciation for ancient greek.
That is because you argued ecclesiastical kept Latin alive, well that's wrong since Latin is alive in modern languages and as adressed before they derive from the classical / late latin pronunciation, otherwise you can read Latin as you want. There are no native speakers so it can't be "cringe".

>>18946052
I like how on 4chan everyone argues about learning a coding language like it's some kind of "hard task that will take years of your life". Is this place that infested by boomers?

>>18946073
Its mutt hours, what did you expect?

>>18945371
boring textbooks are still more engaging than that gameified pseud shit

No thanks

>>18946052
I'd rather be hunched over a Latin textbook for six hours a day than code for an hour a day.

>>18945195
ughh the latin books i will never learn anything from

>>18945371
I'm using duolingo latin as well :^) Just as a refresher.

>hahha yeah i just use latin through examples
>oh. but i also use a grammar book for all of the work that is just for reference.

I have some old books. Ecce romani. You are just thrown into the text and they filter me.

>>18946248
do kennedys latin.
or gwynes latin is a bit easier.

>>18946242
What are you talking about?
Familia Romana has grammar in the book itself retard.

>>18946052
>mere utilitary purpose
its fucking aesthetic mate

>>18946712
Don’t even try and convince retards they should learn higher forms of thought.

Some emperors we’re blond or red of hair, most were light brown, and very few were black of hair.
I know Julius wasn’t an emperor, but the point is the same.
