Download or read book Essential Latin Vocabulary written by Mark Williams and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2013-02-28 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed to help beginning and intermediate students master the vocabulary necessary to read real Latin with fluency and comprehension. It also serves as a resource for instructors and tutors. The text presents 1,425 words that allow a student to comprehend about 95 percent of all the vocabulary they will ever see in an actual Latin text. The terms found in the present book have been culled from statistical analyses of the works of more than two hundred authors in order to identify the core vocabulary. Were students to start out by learning the 25 most common words on this list, an astonishing 29 percent of all the vocabulary ever needed would be at their command. If a student masters the 300 most frequent words in this list, well over half of all the vocabulary necessary for fluent reading will be theirs. The goal of the book is to provide the student with the most efficient way to learn vocabulary. Chapters 1 and 2, in particular, are designed for drill, review, and study. The first chapter draws together all words that share the same grammatical classification. For example, all third declension neuter nouns are brought together in one place, with their definitions. By listing the vocabulary in grammatical groups, all the words that share a set of endings are assembled for the student: vocabulary and endings thus reinforce each other. Furthermore, each list of terms is broken down into groups of five words for ease in drawing up vocabulary lists to work with. Within the grammatical lists, each part of speech is preceded by an account of how the terms within are distributed. A student thus quickly learns that while there are 413 verbs that need to be mastered, well over one-third of these (157) are found in the third conjugation, while only about one per-cent (21) will be found in the fourth conjugation. With such information, independent students or instructors can prioritize their study and assignments more appropriately. In the second chapter, large parts of the vocabulary, with their attendant definitions, are regrouped by topics. A student who wishes, therefore, to focus on nature, human emotions, or military issues, will find such vocabulary conveniently grouped together. Chapter three lists the vocabulary terms from the most frequently occurring words to the least frequent. Students or instructors who wish to lean more heavily on the most (or least!) frequently occurring terms within their drills and studies can thus consult this frequency list. After the frequency list, the fourth chapter presents an alphabetical index of the terms. Two final chapters close the text. The first is a list of endings and paradigms for nouns, adjectives and verbs. Complete paradigms and endings are given for review. The final chapter provides the student with an additional one hundred words that are uniquely common in the Latin of the Middle Ages. These one hundred words, if added to the mix, would give the student a Mediaeval vocabulary that would match the efficiency of the Classical vocabulary that is the main focus of the book. For the effort of learning an additional one hundred words, another 1,000 years of Latin texts open up before the student. As a whole, then, this book offers the vocabulary that forms the core of one thousand seven hundred years of Latin literature. If the goal is to learn to read Latin with joy and ease, then the vocabulary terms in this book are one of the major keys to success. By learning these terms, a student's vocabulary should be ready to tackle the Latin of any era from the Classical period to the Renaissance.

Download or read book Wheelock s Latin 7th Edition written by Richard A. LaFleur and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2011-06-07 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For nearly sixty years, Wheelock's Latin has remained the opitmus liber of beginning Latin textbooks. When Professor Frederic M. Wheelock's Latin first appeared in 1956, the reviews extolled its thoroughness, organization, and conciseness; one reviewer predicted that the book "might well become the standard text" for introducing students to elementary Latin. Now, nearly six decades later, that prediction has certainly proved accurate. This new edition of Wheelock's Latin has all of the features, many of them improved and expanded, that have made it the bestselling single-volume beginning Latin textbook: 40 chapters with grammatical explanations and readings drawn from the works of Rome's major prose and verse writers; Self-tutorial exercises, each with an answer key, for independent study; An extensive English–Latin/Latin–English vocabulary section; A rich selection of original Latin readings—unlike other Latin textbooks, which contain primarily made-up texts; Etymological aids, maps, and dozens of images illustrating aspects of the classical culture and mythology presented in the chapter readings. Also included are expanded notes on the literary passages, comments on vocabulary, and translation tips; new comprehension and discussion questions; and new authentic classical Latin readings, including Roman graffiti, in every chapter.

Download or read book Latin for Kids written by Catherine Fet and published by Stratostream LLC. This book was released on 2021-06 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book teaches Latin the traditional way - in a highly non-traditional presentation. Every page is bursting with color and overflowing with funny illustrations, silly humor, surprise captions, and recurring Latin-speaking animal characters and Roman statues. The book is for kids, but... - if you are a college student terrified of Latin, grab this book, and relax. You won't be lost in an endless desert of conjugation charts and exclusions from exclusions... The dialogues will not feature boring Roman farmers, soldiers, or sailors - yawn! I'll keep you smiling at a lazy Roman school kid, his nasty teacher, a unicorn, a princess, and some barbarians about to sack Rome - our kind of environment! No pain figuring out long and short syllables - I mark stress in all more-than-two-syllable words, so give it a try! - if you are a grownup curious - for whatever reason - about Latin, grab the book! It's your soft landing - be it in Ancient Rome, or at a Latin mass! Worth trying. Full disclosure: I have a stake in this game. I wrote this book to teach Latin to my 9-year-old son. I don't think he'll grow up a scholar like me, but here are the reasons why I want my kid, you, and your kids to know at least some Latin: 1. Up to 90% of multi-syllable words in English are of Latin origin. Latin will make our kids comfortable with long/important/scary words. They won't bat an eyelash when they hear 'ostentatious' or 'edifice.' Once they have learned the Latin verb 'scire' - 'to know, ' they won't make mistakes spelling 'science'! 2. French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese - these are poor relatives of Latin. If you have some basic knowledge of Latin, all Romance languages are a piece of cake. In this book I offer quite a bit of spoken Latin - for play. Kids may enjoy playing 'Ancient Rome, ' or mess with a language nobody around them understands. But our real goal is not Latin conversation. The real goal is fully mobilizing our passive knowledge of Latin: - the ability to recognize and understand Latin roots, prefixes and suffixes in English words of Latin origin; - the ability to competently use terms of Latin origin in fields such as law, politics, medicine, science, and more; - the ability to understand and correctly use Latin sayings, historical quotes, and mottos - as elements of European cultural heritage. Material: Introduction to Latin Grammar - noun and adjective declension: Nominative, Genitive, Dative, Accusative, Ablative and Vocative cases - singular and plural in all five declensions; - adjectives - comparative and superlative degrees; - pronouns - most widely used forms; - use of cases with common prepositions (in, a/ab, ad, e/ex, inter, cum, per, and more); - verb conjugations in Indicative Present, Past Perfect, Past Imperfect, and Indicative Future; - Imperative Mood; - Past Participle; - Accusativus cum Infinitivo; - Instrumental Ablative Case; - conjugation of frequently used irregular verbs. All grammatical explanations are richly illustrated with level-appropriate Latin sayings and proverbs and accompanied with conversational exercises. Vocabulary development - Whenever we learn new Latin words, I list modern English words related to our Latin vocabulary. The book offers nine collections of terms (with Latin etymology) from Law, Science, Medicine, Government and Civics, and more. Practice sections include translation from English to Latin and 2-3 engaging kid-friendly texts for reading: Familia Romana, Schola, famous mottos and sayings, and Church Latin texts, such as the Lord's Prayer, Glory Be, Adeste Fideles, and a few bits from the Latin Mass.

Download or read book Core Latin and Ancient Greek Vocabularies written by Christopher Francese and published by . This book was released on 2013-07-22 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The DCC Core Vocabulary lists represent the 1,000 most common words in Latin and the 500 most common words in ancient Greek. Data for the Latin list comes from 1.7 million words hand analyzed by the Laboratoire d'Analyse Statistique des Langues Anciennes, and 800,000 words hand analyzed by Paul B. Diederich ("The Frequency of Latin Words and Their Endings." Dissertation, University of Chicago, 1939). The frequency rankings are derived from LASLA, and do not take Diederich's counts into consideration. Data for the Greek list comes from subset of the comprehensive Thesaurus Linguae Graecae database (kindly provided by Maria Pantelia), and the corpus of Greek authors at Perseus under PhiloLogic (kindly provided by Helma Dik of the University of Chicago). Definitions were adapted from various sources. This work of data analysis, word selection, and editing was carried out by Chris Francese in 2012¿13, with valuable help from the following: Wilfred Major of Louisiana State University; Eric Casey of Sweet Briar College; Meghan Reedy and Marc Mastangelo, both of Dickinson College; Dickinson students Alice Ettling, James Martin, Meredith Wilson, Derek Frymark, and Qingyu Wang; graduate student Alex Lee of the University of Chicago; and web developer Ryan Burke.

Download or read book Roots of English written by Paul O'Brien and published by . This book was released on 2008-06-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Memoria Press: We are often asked if we have a program that includes the study of both Latin and Greek roots. We do now! Roots of English is an introduction to English, designed for students as young as third grade, but it is also a great test prep program for older students planning on taking any test with a vocabulary section. Most of the Latin roots covered in this book correspond to the Latina Christiana I Latin vocabulary set. The course also introduces Greek roots commonly found in English words. Words with Latin and Greek roots are longer and more difficult than the short words for ordinary objects that form the first layer of an English-speaking child s vocabulary. Their meanings are more nuanced, more specialized. In order to acquire these words and learn how to use them appropriately, a young student needs to understand the meanings of their roots, prefixes, and suffixes. Roots of English presents careful analysis of these word elements so that the student learns not only the modern meanings of the words but also their underlying, ancient meanings. Context exercises and periodic quizzes help the student learn the correct and appropriate uses of these words. Roots of English may be used along with Latina Christiana I Latin course. Roots of English is, in part, a presentation of the basic Latin roots introduced in Memoria Press Book of Roots I, but with the addition of the basic Greek roots."
