Oops. I didn't count ones that were corrected by L2 speakers. Some of them seemed unsure.

The spanish ones were corrected by an ethnic spanish who resides in sweden as far as i recognize him

Well darn, I made an assumption that he was a native Swedish speaker who learned Spanish as a second language.

anyone else here with experience learning latin?
I took 1 year of latin in the uni (law students were required to learn an instrumental language), and been picking up stuff here and there ever since. Now I'm learning it in duolingo, but it's still kinda buggy (its still beta, i know). Like it corrects me if I put words in the "wrong order", even though in latin the sintax is determined by the word declination and not placement. Also I'm pretty sure some of the pronunciations are wrong, like the verb "habitant", which they pronounce much like the word "inhabitant" from english, rather than "habitam" which would be the portuguese correspondent, which makes a lot more sense to me.
tldr: anyone else learning latin? hows it going for you?
Camden Miller
thanks. the last time I asked about this here people told me that a double t is usually pronounced with a D sound, but I get a slightly different answers every time these question come up. I guess this is the separating line of when one should look up actually formal content on the subject of interest. I just don't know how to start. I tried learning the IPA a few months ago but I didn't have success as I couldn't mimic most sounds by myself just by watching youtube
Samuel Lewis
isn't the pronunciation of latin unknown or something?
Nicholas Edwards
wtf is an instrumental language
Jack Barnes
we know stuff like that c is pronounced k, and v is just a short u, because there were grammar books correcting mistake from the vulgares
but there are lots of gaps like tonal syllabes which I'm never sure of and don't know where to learn from
a language you learn for specific purposes, in this case knowing the meaning of latin expressions commonly used in the judicial system. Not that the latin I learned helped anything with that but it was cool to learn it anyway
Caleb Gonzalez
Wheelock has a pronunciation guide.
Thomas Ramirez
Can you Latin learners tell me what's going on in this story
cheking it out right now but still it sounds weird, i dunno. Still sounds like an american/anglophonic person speaking, doesn't sound natural at all. Do you know of any romance language pronunciation guides?
Quintus is a roman boy. Quintus lives in Apulia; Apulia is in Italy. Scintilla is a roman woman; (she) works at home. Horatia is a roman girl; (she) dines at home.
Brayden Perry
I didn't even know that Quintus, Scintilla and Horatia were different people, based on the artwork
Scintilla works at home; (she) prepares dinner. Horatia enters the house; (she) salutes Scintilla. Horatia helps Scintilla; (she) brings water home. Argus enters the house and salutes Horatia.
things were different in ancient times
Anthony Bell
where are these from anyway?

some random Latin course book for grade school children
I have a book from 1948 (when they taught latin in school) with original texts and their translation. Also have some workbooks from the course I had in uni. I'll get to them eventually, aswell as my notes. But I like duolingo because is accessible and dynamic. It's mostly to get more used to latin structure.
Flaccus is a roman colonist; (he) works in the field. Flaccus takes Argum to the field. Argus does not help but sleeps (lol). Quintus enters the field; the boy calls Argus but Argus does not listen; instead (he) sleeps.
Since none has said it yet, I'll do it: Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata is the best book for learning Latin ever written.

Reasons I learn latin:
1. I'm a romaboo 2. it's the grandfather of romance languages; learning it is like learning the basis to all the rest 3. sounds manly as fuck 4. many ancient texts were written in latin 5. romans were masters of rhetoric and you can learn a lot from them in that subject, while translated texts just don't do the trick 6.

In French, is "en train de [verb]" always the same as "currently [verb]ing" in English? Like "Je suis en train d'écrire." being "I am currently writing.", but are there any exceptions to this?

Do you ever read about Greta Tormberg
Daniel Williams
No I don't know them. I haven't done much reading other than Astrid Lindgren's books for children.

Unless you mean Thunberg, then yeah obviously. She's in the news everywhere, for better or worse
Dominic Moore
Yeah, I mean the climate change kid. Does she ever do stuff in Swedish or does she talk in English only?

>Det är varmt och solig. soligt*
>Greta prata med många människor. pratar*
>Hon är en vegetarian. En is superfluous in the Swedish sentence, so remove it and you're golden.
>Jag åt en tofu burrito istället för en fläsk burrito. Jag åt en tofuburrito istället för en fläskburrito igår.
>Servitrisen erbjörd mig ett sugrör, men jag avslog det. Servitrisen erbjöd mig ett sugrör men jag nekade.
>Min lägenhet är åttiotvå grader och jag har på mig inget ännet än underkläder. Det är åttiotvå grader i lägenheten och jag har bara underkläder på mig. However, we really need to convert dem Fahrenheits to Celsius, because at 82 C you'd be a goner lmao. Det är tjugosju (27) grader i lägenheten och jag har bara underkläder på mig.
>Jag skriv på båda sidorna av papperet. skrev*, skriv is imperative also, while correct, if you ever need to say this, simply saying "Jag skrev på båda sidor" would suffice as the paper will be implied in pretty much any situation you'd get to mention it, as it ought to be physically present.
>Tormberg oof it's Thunberg lmao also >imagine caring about her
