I want to become a fluent speaker of Latin. Is this book the way to go? (other than listening live Latin podcasts and yt videos ofc)

[Anonymous No.21527758]

YAY, but use the Dowling method for 100% success. It's basically impossible to fail at Latin once you have all major paradigms memorized.

There's nothing unique or special about LLPSI, its just a rote memorization exdrcise presented in a more fun way. You're presented a bunch of words, gradually, and made to repeat them over and over. It's rote. Which is fine, despite all the supposed advancements in educational techniques rote still proves to be superior when it comes to absorbing large chunks of information. Ultimately, reading LLPSI isn't going to speed up your latin any faster than just opening any other grammar book and doing the exercises, you still need to put 200-300 hours of study before acquiring basic fluency. There is only one real hack to language study and that is living among the natives but with Latin it's not a choice unless you're willing to get a job as a janny in Vatican

LLSPI aims to teach Latin using the "natural" method aka immersive but it totally fails to complete its actual goal by making the reader look through proper grammar.
So from the books purpose the author fails meaning there it would be a 0/10.
But to teach Latin again because of the author trying to teach in a way he has never learned and failing to understand what he is meant to teach he then gains a 1/10 because no one can learn Latin but the book looks pretty so it gets 1.

They can join the clergy, become Latin teachers or ancient Greek/Roman historians.
In case we can prolong our lives for thousands of years and witness spacetime travel, they will be chosen to visit ancient Greece and Rome to recover lost texts. I doubt any of those guys would be picked though, they look like they belong in a special needs school.

Repost from main

Boys in 9th century Germany

First they would memoirs the Psalms even without understanding what it meant
Then the Distichs of Cato and fables
Now they would get a grammar text by Alcuin, but another by Donatus also was very common
They also parsed lots of Latin as the main part of their learning

So in three years they were expected to be fluent in Latin spoken and read or by the time they were ten.

The Alcuin book was Dialogus Franconis et Saxonis de octo partibus
orationis

The source of the material was Reading in Medieval St. Gall by Grotans

have you ever learned any other language , at this point english feels like a native language to me and it took 10 years and thousands of hours of immersion. So start reading latin literature , at 40 books it will be more than enjoyable, at 100 you'll be good and at 200 you'll be excellent. At that point and even a lot earlier you'll be thinking in the language effortlessly.

>LLPSI was created to mimic the second point
It was created to get people reading earlier. The only way to get good at reading is to read. You 'comprehensible input' & 'tprs' fags need to understand that there is absolutely nothing "communicative" about Orberg's books. They are graded readers not textbooks for oral lessons. Literally everything you say is anhistorical anachronistic retroactive historical revisionism propagated by people who had never heard of a 'graded reader' before they found the orange holy grail. And if you didn't know what a graded reader was before reading this book, then you lost the right to argue about second language acquisition pedagogy.

If you HAD heard of a graded reader, then you wouldn't hate this book OR think it was anything special. You would just say "oh cool this is easier than Fabulae Faciles and more Classical than the Vulgate." and you would have read it and moved on with your life.

Thread over, everyone go home.
