Qui prior egressus est, Iacobus Rufus erat: A thread for all things Latin

flumenflue, transitum Eva et Adae, declinationem ab litore ad flectere lauri, commodius ab nobis facit Houuthi vicus de castro et recirculus ad circumstant.

Horror vacui

Non sunt multiplicanda entia praeter necessitatem.

solitudinem faciunt, pacem appellant

a palindrome and riddle:

In girum imus nocte et consumimur igni

Aquilam volare, delphinum natare doces.

Apparently the preferred method by far these days of self-study is a book known as Lingua Latina or LLPSI (in full, LINGVA LATINA PER SE ILLVSTRATA), written by a Danish linguist and high school teacher named Hans Ørberg. It’s 100% in Latin and uses the Natural Method to teach, which I guess means letting the brain what it does naturally. There is all kinds of ancillary material built up around if, including the audio version I just linked to.

Around it

I realized recently I still know the Our Father and Hail Mary in latin which I guess is what happens when you take Latin at a catholic HS.
