Language Learning 101 discussion

A couple of quick basics before we begin. I am doing a Christian Latin book, although you may opt out of the Christian vocabulary. I will put it in spoilers. I am learning through Henle First Year Latin. It is a very good book, and if you'd like to use it, it is recomended, not required.

Now, the basics:
-There are five declensions (More on that lesson one)
-There are five commonly used cases (Again, more in lesson one)
-Pronunciation is slightly different, and there will be a post for that.
-NONONONEVER use Google translate to translate stuff. It is against my rules. And Latin has funky sentence arrangement. I will be able to tell..
-I AM THE TEACHER, I MAKE THE RULES. FOLLOW THEM.
-All vocab is nouns until further notice.
-If you don't post on each week's lesson, I will assume you have abandoned the class
-Feel free to chat! (in latin, of course)

That's all for now!

Salve! My friend takes latin in school and I'm trying to convince her to teach me how so I can read Coniurationis Commentarium by Angelo Poliziano in the original language not the italian translation I found ;)

Nice! Do you want to take this? I'm going to make a class list.

I remembered back when I was still a basic beginner in French. I used to search everything up on Google Translate XD I still do....

I'll try ;) Im taking all honors classes this year and biology is so confusing so I might not constantly be available...

It'll be okay. Just try to look once a week. I can teach up to second declension right now, and moving on to 3rd feminine.

Roma non dedit servis regnum
Of romans Not give slaves kingdom

Here is why we don't do google translate:
The verb goes at the END google! (I am is an exeption, but that's later)
It is entirely mixed up.
Here's the correct version:

Regnum servis Romanorum non dedit.

Yep I knew that the verb goes at the end :) and the nouns and weird genders shouldn't be to hard because I can speak italian and there are quite a few weird ones there.

Road is feminine
Sword is neuter
Mary is feminine (BY THE EPIC POWER OF THE "DUH" RULE!!)
Caesar is feminine Masculine
Hill is masculine
So yeah. Gender's all over the place.
Lancet means neuter
Sox means feminine
Error means masculine
IN THIRD DECLENSION!!

Guys I have to leave. It's ten fifteen. Yup. It's late. So, bye!! (IDK HOW TO SAY IN LATIN!! Pessime, pessime. Non omptime.

La via is italian for road and its feminine
La spada is sword it's feminine too...

But we have weird ones like la Mano which is neither Cuz la is feminine but Mano is masculine.

@ Emma: That's hand right?

Yep

Via is road in latin, too. But Gladios is sword.

Oh that's interesting.

Yeah. :D =D

Completely random but your profile pic reminded me I have to practice the piano part for my orchestras version of frozen... Lol

Well, glad I could help! :D

Hahaha thanks ;) I usually play violin and I never have to practice the orchestra music from my school but they need a piano player and I'm the only one who wants to so...

:D

My mom is making me come upstairs. See ya later.
