Hi Mat, sorry this took long.
Revisiting things we had once left behind truly seems to have a different impact on us, and this is due to the fact that at least to some point we are not exactly the same persons we used to be back then. It happened t…
Interesting detail.
Mattheus said:Oh yes, I forgot to tell you that I have noticed over the course of finding those pdf book files, that most of the pre-XIXth century Latinists were mostly Germans. But English and French aren't lacking.
Sorry for not replying before; been busy with some inevitable stuff.
The top of my head is actually crowded, so I get phonemics out of the bottom of it (hahaha just kidding). The truth is that sometimes I forget some concepts; that’s why I never ge…
Canadian lady as spoken wisely. I agree.
Educational quailty is a consideration, however, during my time in university one of my professors brought up an interesting point: A persons ability in language portrays their seeming education. A person can have an amazing education, but if they c…
How to tell for sure what their problem is? I think it has to do with educational quality. Though only a thought.
A little humility always does some good. Besides, where do these chaps get these crazy ideas? Are they too obtuse to notice the difference between these words?
You see, Mattheus, you never heard of the term “phonemic” for almost the same reason why almost anybody didn’t. The term is quite rare amongst common people; being more exclusive of persons such as philologists and linguists for whom on the contrary…
I can't tell much about German. Certainly not my field... so... what's est in German, Lepus?
Lepus is right about homonyms, Mat. Read my next post, please. I talk a little about phonemics on it.
That's exactly what I wonder. I figure there are strange people with strange ideas everywhere. I once met this chap who thought of himself as an anglophone, but he couldn't tell a "thought" from a "though" (seems the final "t" was quite a challenge…
How can you believe you have mastered something if you don't learn something new of it every day? You said it, Maximilianus!
I totally agree, and this is equally true for every language and for everyone trying to master it, even being native speakers. There are those who believe they master their mother tongue just because it's the language they've mostly spoken from the…

- I'm certainly tryin to study with full commitment. Although I confess to slacking the last few days due to busy schedule.
I picked Lepus for a few reasons. A few months ago I finished reading the book 'Tao of Pooh and the Te of Piglet' absolutly nothing to do with Latin but with Taoist philosophy. It uses the charactes from Winnie the Pooh to explain it. I was very much a 'rabbit' type of person. Now that I'm full into Latin, I've been....attempting...to read "Winnie Ille Pu' for which of course, Rabbit become Lepus. I thought Lepus was only fitting :)
How are you going about learning Latin? I think I have a good working plan, but I'm always open to new ideas.

- By all means, I'm always looking for new friends. Cambridge is a city. The river is 'Grand River'.
