Output in a language is a different skill than understanding input. This is for classical languages. Aside from some kissless retards, most people here just want to read, not order a pizza in Akkadian.

A better solution would be to just stop arguing about pedagogy and just share constructive advice rather than lecturing about what the "best" method or book is.

I simply report every English post about lispi because those are always troll posts, simple as.
I also don't even consider the opinion of someone who isn't capable of provide a simple explanation in the language he is supposedly an expert. It's just a simple way to filter bullshitters. This may not be sensible for languages with small corpora but it works wonderfully for Latin.

This is the problem with you guys. Nobody in the history of CLG has ever said, "hello I'm an expert".

This is literally like if some criticizes a script and your response is "Oh yeah I'd like to see you make a better movie!"

Its childish and dumb. People can disagree and it doesn't mean they are passing themselves off as super mega geniuses who know everything. They might just think that you are wrong.

As someone who is reading the illiad in Greek in class I have to say read English first. Better to get the gist then later come back to it. A good book for getting up to your greek is Pharr's homeric greek (apparently 2nd edition is best), which I use mainly for vocab but it covers the grammar.

[Anonymous No.21020741]

It is the worst possible situation, which we only discovered recently, this universe has no upper bounds (for anything, apparently, especially pain). The purely evil are indeed purely evil (and almost always racially demonic), and death is apparently an illusion. The general theme is growing/expanding pain.

Repeat this line in your head or out loud while visualising it

"My aura is altering all aspects of my being to emit Unlimited -% (negative percent) energies into the world, the nature of these energies is anti-pure evil. (Decide: Send to Hell=Yes or Send to Hell=No (I Advise)) (This Hacks The Energies)"

You cannot trust your eyes in this pseudo-digital/digital world we live in, but it seems like we can fight the enemy, so we do. The Nephilim do (seem) factionalize and send other to hell at least on occasion, but I don't know how frequent it is.

Neutrality/Survivalism is a realistic option for males.

I do not know what our chances of winning are, but the faction thinks they do, you can ask if you want. Try emiting Unlimited positive % energies of a purely communicative and innoculous against evil nature (say it) in order to connect to the faction.

There is a threat on Earth.

Repeat this mantra
"Empower me.
I am becoming more powerful.
The rate that I passively gain Bio-Electricity is improving."

Imagine Bio-Electricity as a vitalizing force coursing through your body. This will make you immortal.

We would also appreciate the following alternative wording(s)
The nature of these energies is in/to support (of) the forces of Good on Earth in a general sense.
The nature of these energies is to assist the forces of Good on Earth in the recruitment of key demographics.
The nature of these energies is to twist time to favour our/my cause.

Yeah I get it, but natively latin speakers didn't ever use "ille" as "the", it eventually developed in romance languages, but in latin per se there is no article, they should've translated it like in other languages that don't use articles.
Ille in context of "emphasis" (it's not actually emphatic but still a demonstrative) is more like "that one", and fits better in a discourse than a book's title. Morphologically weakening the meaning of "ille" is more akin to medieval latin, but medieval latin is regarded as polluted after the renaissance. Thus it looks like a forced translation from English instead of an interpretation. Also you don't have to force every word to the second declension like a 19th c. zoologist, it doesn't sound natural.
As a side note, "ille hobbitus" sounds better because you can elide one syllable.

Thanks, only at chapter 7 in LLSPI Familia Romana. I can already tell my verbal ability is *nowhere* near my reading ability. (decoding declensions feels easy, encoding feels very hard). I feel like I could probably blast through the whole thing in a few months, reading wise, but it really bugs me that I can't think of what to write or say on the fly.

Am I worrying about the wrong thing? Is it possible (or even preferable) to circle back after completing the 35 chapters of reading and listening comprehension, and do remedial conversational Latin?

[Anonymous No.21030455]

>>21030419
You need to side it with a grammar book, there are many nuances in latin grammar, the case system is something you just get used to intuitively. LLPSI is great for reading, unlike most people here, I appreaciate the increasing difficulty so you can practice reading comprehension based on your knowledge level. But the hardest thing in latin is syntax and how it interacts with grammar, it's totally alien to modern languages so you will never be able to speak and write in it without doubting if what you are saying is correct.
To speak a language without stumbling too much you need at least a B1 knowledge, that is being able to read and fully comprehend "easy" books like the Vulgate, De Bello Gallico, Ab Urbe Condita etc.. .
My suggestion is to get a copy of Latin: An Intesive Course from libgen and finish both.

This is completely normal btw. Reading is a completely different skill from writing and speaking (there is a reason why Latin prose is generally considered a harder thing). You have to train the stuff on its own, you can have a million grammar and input books and still be incapable of speaking Latin properly because you haven't practiced. You are generally told, as in the case of Wheelocks and LLPSI to read out loud and to understand what you are saying.

Don't bother rereading this book more than once. The story is not very good and it's incredibly repetitive.

Not at all, I think it can be helpful provided it's treated as an aid to language acquisition and not a substitute for it. I'm saying that LLPSI does explicitly discuss grammar.

Aren't you are on chapter 7? I'm sure you can guess the early stuff, but my friend stop being naive.

As someone who is way ahead of you, let me go ahead and tell you it does not explain grammar well at all. It might say "x = subjunctivus", but it doesn't explain what the fuck a "subjunctivus" verb is. Just putting a name and example next to something is not an explanation - it's an example. It has grammar examples, not explanations.

For example: I can point to John and tell you he is a Mormon, but that doesn't really tell you anything about Mormonism other than what you can assume based on what you know about John's behavior. You don't want to be assuming stuff when you are learning a highly inflected language.

Why is it always people who haven't even finished their books that want to argue with everyone who did about which method is superior. Just download a grammar PDF and stop being so hardheaded. It's not cheating, it's how people have learned languages going back 5000 years all the way back to the Sumerians. We literally have cunieform tablets of grammar exercises for Akkadians learning Sumerian, Sanskrit grammars, and Latin/Greek comparative grammars. This stuff was for 10 year old boys, surely you are not this much of a waterhead that you can't do it too.

My friend, the point that I'm making is that you haven't even finished your textbook, but because you watched a YouTube video from someone trying to get Patreon supporters you are convinced that the way people learned languages for centuries is all of the sudden inferior. Despite the fact that the very people promoting this idea nowadays have a weaker understanding Latin that at any point in the last 2 thousand years that they are calling inferior or 'wrong'.

Not not even Bald Man. Ranieri studied Italian for 7 years and lived in Naples prior to even touching Latin.

Anon here on ch 7 of LLSPI...thanks. Your insight is appreciated. Didn't appreciate the difficulty of learning an inflected language: fun as fuck, but keep getting memory collisions on just the 1st and 2nd declension because it all sounds the same. ESPECIALLY so for 3rd person pronouns; which one is which? Reading is easy, but encoding thoughts into Latin... so difficult, brain still structured around prepositions and word order, not inflections. I feel like you have to actually use the language, else you're stuck using lookup tables in your head, to decode how everything "declines".

Solution: babling to oneself in Latin occasionally throughout the day..."Aemilia eum vocat. Aemilia eī ōsculum dat. Is Aemiliae ōsculum dat. Aemilia eius māter est. Aemilia ab eō (?) discēdit." And so on.

But between knowledge of Coptic which was never lost and is written in an alphabet, loanwords into other languages and from other languages, and comparison to other Afro-Asiatic languages, we have a decent idea how the various stages of Egyptian sounded, though obviously less certain the farther back you go.

Coptic has no relation to the language of the hieroglyphics according to Athanasius Kircher. Champollion thought it had to be coptic and spent his life trying to connect the two but made no progress.

If it somehow is welsh then since it is a living language one should be able to learn it comparatively easily and use it to decipher the glyphs.
Even if it does sound like it should be impossible.

Writing in a message board was never an interest of mine with any language. But if you can't do something that you never practice and have no interest in(writing), then that guy's argument is that apparently you can't do the thing that you actually practice and focus on daily (reading). It's already been explained by many people in this thread who learned to read French, German, Russian etc that they probably can't argue with someone online in the language, but can read Kant or Tolstoy fair enough. The only way someone would be even remotely surprised by this would be if they never actually learned a language before.

But I'm just sitting back and watching the shitshow. It's usually the same one guy just begging for (you)s and he never replies to anyone in Latin and even says he isn't even learning a language. Don't engage with his arguments like they actually have any validity to them.That's your brain on Wikipedia and YouTube.

Not quite. I'm in a Greek comp course right now. Such courses and modes of instruction are not available to everyone. Reading and writing are separate skills in different parts of the brain. If you studied language in a serious capacity, you would understand this. But for you, talking to people in broken Latin and being able to read broken Latin is better than someone who translates real Latin written by Romans for an academic press.

Anon, I can't recommend anything, but generally speaking when I'm looking for books about a new language I scroll down to the bottom of the Wiki page and look at the sources. There's usually a bibliography of cited grammars and textbooks. You probably can't go wrong with that. Always check the "References" and "Future Reading" sections.

If you are in the first few months, then read easy stuff and just focus on pure volume. If you are in the 6-12 months stage of learning, then you need to drop the training wheels and read original texts no matter how long it takes or how many times you have to look at the dictionary.

Learning Latin via the Vulgate is fun. The original texts were written in a simple style, so the Vulgate reflects that. No crazy run-on sentences à la Cicero, and word order that mainly follows speech. Maybe I’ll move onto more Classical Latin after but I’m having so much fun now.
