@@lightninginmyhands4878 Talk about missing the joke... There are *no* native Latin speakers left in the world. Luke's native language is English, not Latin. The joke is that he's so good at Latin people mistake him for a native Latin speaker, possibly a time traveller.

I want to thank everyone who was here for the open and welcoming atmosphere, because since my high school days of the most horrible translation method of LA->EN, I never really enjoyed Latin except once when I composed a little play about Jack and the Beanstalk. That was fun. Also, in 2018 when I was in both Pompeii and Ostium, at the Theatres, I pulled out my phone loaded with Vergil and recited (for my own satisfaction and to the applause of the few there) the first few lines of the Æneid. That was satisfying, too. But always lurked in the background that I could never speak it, since we were taught Latin in the old method, and with guilt and shame if you didn't do things just right. THIS (Luke's class) is the way to go. And, having gotten the Traupman book just in time, that is a good way to learn, also. Salvete omnes!

[@ScorpioMartianus]

That’s very kind! I look forward to seeing you in the next lesson!

I've always wanted to learn Latin, but it was not a subject when I went to highschool (I'm 48yrs old, dang I'm old) and as such never had an easy opportunity to learn it. And I studied to be a computer technician in college which also didn't have Latin as a course either. I only speak English fluently. I know a little bit of french but when I'm listening to it I am translating it into English first before I am associating the words into the stuff the words represent. Likewise I first think stuff in English then convert to french. I've often wondered what English sounds like to non speakers. I found a way to do that by first reducing the volume on a video and then defocusing on the words and their seperation from each other until I hear them but am not listening to what is being said. It was quite an eye opener. English sounds pretty much like any other language that you can't understand but at the same time has a distinctness to it like other languages have. You can know it's french or German etc... Without understanding a word of it. I often thought damn how do they know one word from another when they speak that fast? It's the same way I can understand English spoken fast and how I can hear the same sentence spoken with subtle emphasis put onto a different word three or four times and know each one is different in what it means. It can be a statement of fact, a question to be answered, or rhetorical, or sarcastic. Even the weight of impact or importance can be denoted. And that's without using any number of synonyms to further modify a sentences meaning. It's not surprising people say English is hard to master. Such subtlety adds a level of complexity that takes years to fully grasp and can easily change depending on country of origin. Then there's slang. Which brings me back to Latin and it has 7 basic prepositions one for yourself, male female your equal, superior and lesser. Add that to the rest of it and it's no wonder the language didn't proliferate fully or survive. Yet there's nothing like speaking some Latin phrase that doesn't instantly give you extra IQ points and say I'm fucking smart I am. And think twice before debating an alternative viewpoint in a social situation you'll probably lose. Lol.
