I'd like to add that wiktionary is also a great resource since you can search directly for the declined words.

[@Flugs0]

it's fantastic, i always use it. also always has lots of possible translations for latin words.

[@ogorangeduck]

This is a quite random question, but how did you learn to de-aspirate initial /p/, /t/, /k/? I noticed it when you speak Greek, Latin, and that one Italian video. As a native English speaker (but also heritage Mandarin, so pitch accent isn't bad) the hardest part for me learning (Attic) Greek has been θ vs τ, φ vs π, χ vs κ. You do this quite well! Cheers!

Magno usui mihi uidetur omnia ! Salue !

[@generalkenobi6687]

SALVE, MAGISTER! I have recently come upon a problem: do these dictionaries differentiate between BARO as in "simpleton" and BARO as in "baron"? Do these dictionaries always correctly mark long vowels? Wiktionary states that bārō means simpleton, but latinitium says that bāro with a short o means simpleton, dunce. How do I know that is right?

[@MarcusTrawick]

Gratias.

[@adarshiyer4805]

Hey! Duolingo has added a Latin course. I was wondering what your opinion on the course is. I was planning on doing the course and then afterwards reading a book like Lingua Latina per se Illustrata, so I could absorb the material maybe better.

[@polyMATHY_Luke]

I’m not a big fan of Duolingo. If people like it, then that’s awesome. For Latin, you’ll get much more much faster out of my LLPSI playlist.

[@redpanda1765]

I finished it, and I can say that it helps you to expand your basic vocabulary and nothing else. It doesn't even use the word order of Classical Latin!

[@saintburnsy2468]

[@cleitondecarvalho431]

Talking of neologisms, on the other hand, Luke, do you think archaic features from the prisca latinitas, such as "viderier, quom, absque ", have any place in the modern spoken latin ?

[@GMLowe-gp4sn]

Sorry, if you have already answered this here or elsewhere, but Luke, what's your process for memorising new words. Specially, in context of whilst one is on stage 3 (Famiglia Romana) of your Dowling-Ranieri Method and thereafter e.g. new words you come across, Many thanks in advance, Keep up the great work!!!

[@polyMATHY_Luke]

Thanks for the comment! I never try to memorize individual words, though some swear by this. Instead, for LLPSI, i transcribed every sentence, saying them aloud. Otherwise it’s for more as material I created by audiobooks for Schottennius where you hear the English then Latin slowly and then normal Latin to give you time to repeat. That’s effective for me personally

[@luizcarlosdiasjunior]

Adhuc egemus vocabulo Latino quo "pocket" significemus, Luci! Mihi quidem nimis verbosa iunctura "sacculus vestimento assutus" videtur.

[@JYHRO0]

I would like to have a translation from someone who is fluent. Dictionaries are not enough here: "Rotas opera tenet arepo sator" Does it make grammatical sense? Is there a language clue as to what period of Latin it comes from?

[@thinking-ape6483]

I have noticed that you sometimes pronounce intervocalic t in the word "Latin" as a voiceless alveolar plosive but vary occasionally, as would be typical for an American English speaker, as an alveolar flap, ɾ. Are you swapping this value intentionally or is something else operative?

[@polyMATHY_Luke]

Thinking-Ape very observant! It’s actually not the alveolar flap in such words where n follows. The relaxed US pronunciation is the same as mitten /ˈmɪʔn̩/ , with a glottal stop. There are a few Americans who use the alveolar flap even before n, but this usage sounds particularly uneducated (a subjective impression, not reflective of the actual erudition of the person!) But in American English the clearly pronounced t in such words is also permissible, and used for emphasis and clarity. I find if I leave the t reduced in all intervocalic positions, it sounds to lazy too my ear, and if I clearly enunciate them every time like RP, it sounds too stilted. So I try to strike a happy balance. Unfortunately, being a language guy, I can’t help but be hyper aware of my own diction, so “naturalness” doesn’t even really exist for me anymore. 😂 Thanks for the comment.

[@dracandros6050]

Do you think Wiktionary is a good choice? I appreciate that it can provide the resource of the Latin vocabulary, for instance, "dē" can be associated with English " to".

[@polyMATHY_Luke]

Yes I love Wiktionary particularly for etymology

[@truthterrain3484]

Does a decent alternative "google translate" exist? Probably not... Not the way the way to learn but can be useful sometimes.

Hi, Does it work for eclesiastical latin too? I'm new in this and I know there is at least two kind of latin, the classic and the eclesiastical.

[@donnashields1194]

This is probably a dumb question but is it absolutely necessary to learn about declensions, etc to learn Latin? I find grammar extremely difficult to learn.

[@polyMATHY_Luke]

Hi Donna! This video of mine answers all those questions if you watch that whole thing: kzbin.info/www/bejne/larJnaSLjLCJjMU

[@orleanslecanut3031]

I can't find any physical French-Latin dictionary with macrons written. Even online, there's not much to be found. That's stupid: the user has to lookup in two dictionaries if they wants to translate (FR-LA) a word AND have the proper pronunciation (LA-FR). Anyway, I'd be interested to find a reasonably complete list of modern printings in Latin with macrons: it's very difficult to track them. A common "problem" with those (when they exist), is that when there are word definitions, they often are in English, which makes necessary to have a good knowledge of English before even reading those. Definitions in Latin would be much more universal (Ørberg, where are you?)

Need help! Was the greek letter "delta" pronounced with a "D" (e.g. day) or is it pronounced the same way as it is today (e.g. "th" as in "they") The same question is about the letter "theta". Was it pronounced as "T" as in the word "tank"?

[@Philoglossos]

It depends on when and where. δ would have begun to soften intervocalically probably around the 3rd century BCE, just like how in modern Spanish it is hard at the beginning of an utterance, but soft after a vowel. Some time in the first few centuries CE it probably shifted to being soft in all positions, its modern pronunciation. The same is true of γ and β, with β probably first becoming a bilabial fricative before later becoming a labiodental fricative (its modern pronunciation). The aspirates θ χ φ probably became fricatives much later, beginning in the first few centuries CE but not finishing until potentially as late as the 9th century CE (it would have depended significantly upon the speaker/dialect). So, what period of Greek are you specifically wondering about?

[@polyMATHY_Luke]

I answer all those questions here! kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqWcq2h9q9Vmg68
