Explanation - What I tried to say is:
---
My name is Harawer. I write from Universidad Católica de Chile (Catholic University of Chile). I study Computer Engineering.

I learnt Latin by reading.

In February I read Harry Potter translated into Latin.

I want to talk in Latin to anybody that wants to.
---
I'm not completely sure of what I wrote, but I didn't think it being so bad that nobody could understand.

Eheu!You learned Latin just by reading it? You did not take any courses or use any textbooks? That's incredible. Latin is extremely difficult for me because of all the inflection.
I would like to know your advice, and also where you think I could find Harrius Potter et Philosophi Lapis (I'm in the US)

later,
-Jonathan

- potes emere liberem "Harrius Potter et Philosophi Lapis", i ad Barnes & Noble--id habent.

si Latinam tibi difficile est, legere hoc liber non potes.

--

You can buy the book at Barnes & Noble--they have it.
If Latin is hard for you, you won't be able to read that book...

- I don't quite agree... You may be able to read Harrius Potter but don't get tricked into thinking that all Latin texts are that simplistic.

Even if it is simple, I still can't read it. I'm only in Latin 1. Maybe by the end of Latin 2, I'll be able to read Harrius Potter.

- i must learn latin.... i only know a couple things in latin... like "Et tu, Brute?" But everyone knows that....

- Why speak Latin?
I am thinking about studying Latin. The reason is because I was under the impression that many languages, especially European languages, are based on Latin. Therefore I feel that if I had a basic understanding of Latin other languages would be easier to learn. Does anyone find this to be true or untrue??

waya67 Thursday 12th of May 2005 06:48:47 AM
- well is basically is true... Spanish, French, Italian are all based on Latin... And those are very important languages to know, especially Spanish, since over 20 countries speak it natively.

- I hate latin.It's the worst language i've ever learned eventhough i do like languages.Maybe it's for the teacher...Anyway,it's a langugae that you cannot listen.
Is true that latin is the base of all latin-languages and if you already know a latin-language,it's easyier to learn,but translating phrase it's not fun.

- And don't forget that latin have had an huge impact on the other European languages as well. (a survey of Swedish showed that 20 % of the 6000 most common words are derrived from Latin (or Greek through Latin)

Madrynea Thursday 07th of July 2005 06:50:03 AM
- Linguam latinam scribere volo. Sed numquam id facui! Difficilis est! Sed discere scribere linguam latinam volo. Perge dialogum! ;) (that's probably wrong but I've only always learnt to translate from Latin, never the other way around. Oh well, this could be fun!)

lingua latina vivat!!!! - I have been studying latin for 3 years alone through books, well its hard at the first time, but you will get used to it.

kevstov Friday 26th of August 2005 03:34:28 PM
Introduction - My latin is horrible and I have no interest in learning a Romance language, beyond GI speak. I find Latin improves my English vocabulary and grammar. I think more English words are direct cognates of Latin words than Spanish or French. When I find a new English word about 5 out of 10 times I can guess it from a Latin stem or prefix. Now if I can find a way to improve my spelling ;)
I also very much enjoy the humility of the Ancients. The more you read the more you learn there really is nothing new under the sun. I may never be fluent in Latin but the path is fun to walk.
A newbies 2 cents. By the way I'd love to play in any Latin language games. And I can help you get a drink or a face slap in Turkish. Dont have much to contribute but love to learn and I'm willing to chat in latin.

kev...

Scitisne fabulas et caetera in Latina scriptas originaliter? Legere praefero in originali lingua, sed libri historiae et poemata mihi non tantopere intersunt...
