Learning Latin the Ancient Way
Persuade tibi hoc sic esse, ut scribo: quaedam tempora eripiuntur nobis, quaedam subducuntur, quaedam effluunt. Turpissima tamen est iactura, quae per neglegentiam fit. Et si volueris attendere, maxima pars vitae elabitur male agentibus, magna nihil agentibus, tota vita aliud agentibus.

Re: Learning Latin the Ancient Way
That is a nice set of basic phrases. I wonder if it would be worth memorizing sections to help me with both Latin and Greek. Looking at the first part though, I'm not sure whether φῶς = lux and φάος = lumen is any sort of valid distinction.bedwere wrote:Is it basically a new edition of this?

“One might get one’s Greek from the very lips of Homer and Plato." "In which case they would certainly plough you for the Little-go. The German scholars have improved Greek so much.”
