Hi! I was wondering how you go about finding references and resources to brainstorm with or use within your papers. As in, when you have an essay question, how do you go about finding appropriate and relevant reference material? Do you have specific places you visit or use to acquire these resources? Thank you for your time and have a great day! :)

On writing essays, part i

On writing essays, part ii

I think essay questions – particularly at university-level – are supposed to act as training for research methods, so everyone develops a different process. 

‘The student can meander, alternating his objectives, provided that a thick web of personal notes, possibly in the form of index cards, keeps track of these “adventurous” wanderings.’

Umberto Eco, How to Write a Thesis (Cambridge: MIT Press, 2015), p. 103.

Eco provides an extremely detailed method for conducting research (even imagining himself as a student with limited access to resources) so I recommend reading his book for in-depth advice. My process is:

When reading primary texts, even for the first time, bookmark and note interesting passages that raise questions or thoughts related to the essay topic. 

Find an introductory text on the topic (go to the library and look for books on the topic, or just search online) and read it, thinking about how it applies to the primary texts, again making notes. 

If another relevant writer (critic) is referenced, note their name and/or the text and find it to read. If they reference another critic, do the same again until I have built some knowledge of what has been written already.

Above: list of names cited in an essay by Paolo Virno. The index is a helpful way to figure out who the dominant and frequently-cited critics are on a particular topic. 

Then go to journals for more specific, contemporary reading. Example: if the topic were related to food, I would look at Appetite or Gastronomica. These can be accessed at libraries or through sites like JSTOR.

If I’m stuck I will just keep searching online for books and articles related to the topic until I find something interesting.

That’s as far as I would usually go, except when I’ve written on something like art – exhibition catalogues, documentaries and other specialist texts are very useful.

Hope this helps. : - )

in which i recommend books like the netflix algorithm

you wanted it, you got it, babes! caveat: this list is long (seriously, sorry about the length) and i can’t write blurbs for everything, but i highly recommend going and looking at anything that sounds interesting. some books will fall under multiple headings, so i’m listing them twice. i am linking to their purchase pages on bookshop.org, because amazon sucks and bookshop helps support indie booksellers, but if your local indie bookstore offers delivery or curbside pickup, buy it there. and i’m trying to keep this list confined to pretty recent titles, so even though a few older ones might slip in there, it’s definitely centered on releases from the past few years. okay let’s do this.

Open Latin resources

via: https://openlatin.org/open-latin-resources/

Many Open Latin resources already exist—they are the foundation of the modern revival of Latin. Here are some highlights.

Public domain

The Latin public domain is vast. Transcription projects make much of this easily available and resuable, from texts through to dictionaries. Scans of texts can be found at Google Books, Archive.org and Europeana.

Many texts have been transcribed by volunteers, including:

Wikisource Latin aims to transcribe public domain Latin texts, including historical texts and those aimed at learners.

Gutenberg.org offers some learner texts

Perseus offers dictionaries and texts

Belgian University of Louvain offers many plain text transcriptions.

The Latin Library has a vast array of Latin transcriptions

Community resources

The Internet has brought us many new Open licenced Latin resources. Most famous is Vicipaedia, but there are many others:

Tatoeba Latin includes over 36,000 Latin sentences written by volunteers.

Wikiversity has a beginner Latin course.

Wikibooks has a complete Latin textbook, and other shorter Latin learner texts.

Wiktionary has over 36,000 Latin entries.

Collatinus is Open Source software that analyses Latin text for morphology (lemmas) and syllable quantity.

Many Youtube channels are licenced as CC-BY – which means you can download, remix and use their work, so long as you credit them. Famous examples include:

Ancient Literature Dude licences all his recitals as CC-By

Gaius Annaeus Iacobus releases his recordings as CC-By.

Musa Pedestris has released some of her recent recitals as CC-BY

Quomodo Dicitur have all their recordings as CC-By.

Please check each Youtube video for the CC licence before you reuse it. It can be found in the information panel.

Commercial resources

Open Content allows commercial follow-on development. Some prominent examples include:

Clozemaster.com and The Great Translation Game, reusing Tatoeba sentences

Public domain texts are presented in Latin course materials at Lingq.com

Many teachers provide reworkings of public domain materials; prominent among these are Latinitium, Latinum Institute, Satura Lanx and Scorpio Martianus.

There is of course a huge range of commercial book publishers also republishing public domain texts.

Our content

We are working on a handful of transcription projects, aimed at Latin learners. Let us know if you want to help, or want us to help with your project.

Wikiversity Latin for Beginners course: first, we asked CarpeLanam for her permission to republish her course from Duolingo’s forums. Then we added vowel length markers as macrons and some simple audio from Wiktionary. Now we are providing new excercises from the content on different platforms.

Jánua Linguárum Reseráta; we transcribed, added accent markers for long vowels and updated the translation. We also asked permission from another transcriber, Tym Marsh, to publish his edition with notes.

We also asked permission to publish Tym’s Corderii Colloquia, transcription

We transcribed the very excellent and until now lost Ólim plays by Effie Ryle.

We transcribed Cothvrnvlvs, plays for learners by Edward Vernon Arnold.

We transcribed Easy Latin Stories by George Bennet.

We have taken the plain text copies of Erasmus’s Colloquia, to present them as a downloadable ebook. The first of two volumes is 70% complete.

Content suggested by friends

These are transcriptions and works particularly for learners that friends of the project have suggested to us

Here are some “Direct Method” books for teachers and learners.

Primus Annus, by Walter Lionel Paine, and Cyril Lyttleton Mainwaring at Gutenberg.

Fabulae, virginibus puerisque aut narrandae aut recitandae by Reginald Bainbridge Appleton, at Gutenberg

Puer Romanus, by Reginald Bainbridge Appleton and William Henry Samuel Jones, at Gutenberg

Masterpost: How to Begin Studying Philosophy

I get a lot of messages from people interested in beginning their education in philosophy - this is a masterpost for people who might ask that daunting question. From here you get to choose your own adventure. You can jump right into a philosophy book that you’re interested in, listen to podcasts, read a comic book, take an online class. Find what works for you. As with everything, you have to start somewhere.

Books 

General Philosophy - Meditations by Descartes, The Apology by Plato, The Anti-Christ/Birth of Tragedy by Nietzsche, An Inquiry Concerning Human Nature by Hume, The Problems of Philosophy by Russell, Meditations by Aurelius 

Ethics - Famine Affluence Morality by Singer, Nicomachean Ethics by Aristotle,  Utilitarianism by Mill

Political Philosophy - The Republic by Plato, On Liberty by Mill, The Prince by Machiavelli , The Social Contract by Rousseau 

Environmental Ethics - Sand County Almanac by Leopold, Animal Liberation by Singer, The Ethics of Climate Change by Garvey

Existentialism - Existentialism is a Humanism and Existentialism and Human Emotion by Sartre, Myth of Sisyphus by Camus

Eastern Philosophy - Bhagvad Gita, Tao Te Ching (the Laozi), The Art of War by Tzu

Students of Philosophy protip - if you’re reading a book, it’s a good idea to have that book in print so you can actively read. Mark your philosophy books up with a highlighter, underline, take notes in the margins. Most philosophy books can be found on Amazon for pennies or at discount bookstores. 

Philosophy in Literature (these are stories heavily imbued with philosophy)

Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Nietzsche, The Stranger by Camus, All Men are Mortal by de Beauvoir, any of Plato’s dialogues actually, Siddhartha by Hesse, Under the Net by Murdoch, No Exit by Sartre, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance (philosophical autobiography)

Overview Books 

(books to give you a general overview of philosophy but that aren’t persay a “philosophy” book)

History of Western Philosophy by Russell*

From Socrates to Sartre

Sophie’s World (also a fictional story)

Doing Philosophy by Gerald Rochelle (”how” to “do” philosophy)

Students of Philosophy protip - reading a “history of philosophy” book that goes through various philosophers and trends in philosophy will help direct you towards what you’re interested in and is Bar’s recommended platform for learning philosophy, even if it isn’t the most fun method

* This is the book I see most often recommended for beginning an education in philosophy. 

Other Mediums to Learn by

Learning by Listening and Watching

Crash Course in Philosophy (Hank Green PBS youtube series)

Partially Examined Life podcast (roundtable discussion about philosophical ideas, accessible for beginners)

Wireless Philosophy (youtube series done by university professors)

School of Life (well made educational youtube series)

Comic Series

Action Philosophers Comic Series

Online Courses

Oxford University Philosophy Classes

Oxford University General Philosophy Podcast

1200 Open Courses 

Wes Cecil Lectures

Students of Philosophy protip - if you haven’t already seen, most words are linked back to their original source.

french resources masterpost

i don’t even know where to begin with french…i love learning languages so much, i really wish my parents had started me when i was younger. i started taking french in seventh grade but i really hope to spend a semester abroad in france & visit senegal when im older. however, french can get super crazy with accents and hard pronunciation and fancy vocab, which can get really confusing, so here’s a masterpost w all of the french resources i’ve gathered :) 

where to start

duolingo aka the most amazing free language learning program ever

rosetta stone- i’ve heard really great things about this program, but it is not free 

bonjour- this website is rlly helpful & even if you’re already in a french class like me, you can find lots of resources for when you’re confused :) plus it’s free!!

babbel- they have programs for beginners + advanced 

grammar + spell check

bonpatron-  grammer + spell check

languagetool- grammar + spell check

reverso- grammer + spellcheck

how to change the spellcheck language on word

dictionaries

collins

word reference (this is my personal favorite, i highly recommend it + it is so much better than google translate & much more reliable!!) 

larousse

linternaute

linguee (this one is probably my second favorite)

you can get word reference (free!!) on the app store, as well as linguee (which i think is free as well??)                               

phonology

french vs english phonology

french pronunciation for beginners

pronunciation chart

guide to french pronunciation

exercises you could try

+ more practice

the ultimate guide to french pronunciation w videos!!

10 pronunciations you won’t learn in school

ok so i just found out the other day that if you’re on flashcards on quizlet & you press the little speaker icon it will say the word for you!! this has been super helpful on my auditory quizzes + generally getting a feel for the pronunciation of words. but i wouldn’t say it’s too reliable so definitely check out these other resources (link to quizlet) 

grammar

passe compose help (past tense)

passe compose w/ avoir

passe compose w/ etre

passe compose practice (+ more)

imparfait vs passe compose 

a helpful post explaining imparfait vs passe compose

intro to accents

type french accents w/o a french keyboard (just copy/paste into your document)

music

these are a few of my favorites:

stromae- hip hop//electronic but i still like his music

maitre gims- rapper but he sings quite a bit in his songs 

joyce jonathan- omg her songs are so cute please go listen

christophe mae-can we just talk about his song “tombe sous le charme” i love it + he sort of reminds me of jack johnson 

vianney!!- guys “je te deteste” is my favorite song on my french playlist right now. the sophomore that sits next to me in our french class recommended him to me & i can’t stop listening 

christine & the queens

also check out these links for more music:

universal music france

this post with french music recommendations

my post on music//podcasts for learning languages (lots of people have been recommending artists which has made this post so much better so please message me if you have any other recommendations or questions!!)

8tracks- french music

other stuff to listen to//watch

french youtubers

10 podcasts for french learners

the ten best tv shows to watch for french learners

ok don’t throw anything at me but watching peppa pig in french is actually a good method (i don’t remember who suggested this to me but thank you so much @ whoever it was) 

easy to understand french movies

news + culture

savoirs

euronews

1jour1actu

l’humanite

multilingual books

some blogs (not on tumblr) in french + about french culture (frenchcrazy, i learn french, oui, c’est ca, french together, fluentfrenchnow)

my tips

definitely keep a vocab notebook where you can either paste vocab lists or write them in on your own

listen to french music. find your own favorite artists. and tell me, so i can put them in here. but seriously, go do it & get those phrases + pronunciations stuck in your head!!

making quizlets for vocab will benefit you more than just using someone else’s

find friends in your class to help (if you’re in highschool, upperclassmen are a blessing pls go ask them questions if you’re lost in class), the senior that sits next to me is really good at conjugating, and i’m pretty good at remembering vocab so we make a great team

find/join a study group!! the freshman girls in my french class made a group chat & we all send links to quizlets/other resources & help each other with homework 24/7

ask questions/do speaking exercises during class. trust me, you will benefit from it. plus, having your teacher correct you on your pronunciation during class is much less embarrassing than getting an F on that speaking test

Hi there! I started learning latin three years ago, and I wanted to share some resources with you. Hopefully you’ll find this post helpful, whether you’re just beginning or you’re studying latin at AP/A-Level. header image: the roses of heliogabalus by lawrence alma-tadema

why learn latin?

over 60% of all english words originally come from latin! it can help you figure out the meaning of words you don’t know (yay etymology!!)

it’s the basis of the romance languages, so it can help you with spanish, italian, french, portugese, and romanian!

mythology!!!!!!!

everything sounds better in latin it has a bunch of wonderful phrases, many of which are still used today! some of my favorites are:

ars longa vita brevis // art is long, life is short

ex nihilo nihil fit // out of nothing comes nothing

scientia potentia est // knowledge is power

dum spiro, spero // while i breathe, i live

studying techniques

try flashcards! these are v cute and work nicely

if that doesn’t work for you, study foldables are a great way to remember vocabulary terms as well!

it’s really important to remember case endings and verb conjugations, so repeating them verbally helps you retain them 

online resources

william whitaker’s words aka the best latin/english translator ever

memrise!! lots of mini latin courses by subject

key literary/rhetorical devices 

comprehensive verb synopsis

latin grammar master list

summary of declensions

latin library!!

[apeducation]

so as an aspiring classicist (slash medievalist) i like roman history A Lot, and i read about it A Lot, and over time i’ve come up with A Lot of reliable resources for studying it. 

online:

ancient history encyclopedia

fordham ancient history sourcebook (rome)

fordham ancient history sourcebook (byzantium)

de imperatoribus romanis

illustrated history of the roman empire

ancient sources:

the history of rome (livy) - covers from rome’s (obscure, semimythological) early history all the way up to the reign of augustus. long, dull, but relatively worth it.

lives of the twelve caesars (suetonius) - deals with the lives of julius caesar through to emperor domitian. fair warning: people don’t call suetonius an ancient gossip columnist for nothing, so take him with a grain of salt.

annals (tacitus) - reign of tiberius to reign of nero, everyone loves this one.

de bello gallico (julius caesar) - caesar’s own record of his campaign in gaul, aka roman war propaganda. short but important part of roman history.

books:

i’ve read most of these and been recommended the rest, but they reflect my own interest in specific subjects. you can find a more comprehensive list here.

rubicon (tom holland)

a history of rome (m. cary and h.h. scullard)

the roman republic (michael crawford)

who’s who in the roman world (john hazel)

spqr (mary beard)

the classical world (robin lane fox)

cicero (anthony everitt)

audio:

the history of rome (mike duncan)

the history of byzantium

Masterpost of Videos in Latin

This is my very long list of online videos in which people speak Latin. It is occasionally updated, and if you have links to contribute, feel free to add them. I hope this is helpful to any bored Latin-speakers or anyone who wants to practice listening to and understanding Latin. I wrote this masterpost in English because I thought it would be accessible to more people who are not confident in their active Latin skills yet. The videos vary widely in quality, difficulty, and content, but they all have some Latin audio.

Update: this is kind of turning into a masterpost of audio input in Latin, but I don’t really care. I might also get rid of some of the really bad videos.

Lectures

Vivarium Novum youtube channel

AthenaeumIllustre

Videos from “ArcesseEum” with the heading [Latin Lecture] in their titles

Baeticus2

Many others, which are not likely to be much use due to a poor quality of Latin, video, and/or audio, have been left out.

Texts Read Aloud

“Fiatlapides”

“ThePrinceSterling”

Videos from “ArcesseEum” with the heading [Latin Reading] in their titles

Ora Maritima Sonnenschein’s Story told in simple Latin

Latin Audio page on Indwelling Language

Aeneid 4, read by Valafridus Stroh

Many more video and audio readings of Latin texts and textbooks are available online, but I have left it at this because they are much easier to find than videos in some of the other categories.

Singable Music

The musical ensemble Tyrtarion at Vivarium Novum does musical arrangements of ancient poems. (Some other, more mediocre recordings of their concerts are also lurking on youtube.)

Aprilis Albuquerquensis also sings Latin poetry

Arte Factum’s arrangements of In Taberna quando sumus, Bache Bene Venies, Tempus est Iocundum, and Bulla Fulminante

Many of #EnsembleMicrologus’ songs, medieval and modern-styled, are in Latin.

Look at wikipedia’s list of songs with Latin lyrics! Some of the songs there are great.

Salvete Omnes! Thought I’d make a latin masterpost as I wasn’t sure how many resources there were on tumblr for latin…? Just some tips and resources for ppl starting out! Any questions, feel free to ask me! 

THIS IS A POST for ppl starting out, currently learning click here (once i get round to it eep sorry EDIT : I’m sorry but I don’t think I will be able to get round to it any time soon :( ! If you have any questions though as a current learner, send me an ask like ‘yo i’m learning latin, any tips’ and i’ll pop down a few pointers! I just don’t have much time to make a proper master post sorry <3 

Some tips and resources for you lovelies 

Cambridge Latin course (the main textbooks I used in my five years of Latin) have some free online resources here that complement their course but might be worth checking out as a taster! Stories and such for translation! (all words have a translation so that saves time for ppl just starting though I don’t recommend relying on it if you want to build up your vocab) 

You don’t have to learn how to speak it [no speaking exams i think if you wanna take it for a qualification] but general tips: C is said like a K eg. cepit (he/she/it threw) is not said sepit , it’s said kepit (this is actually really annoying because julius caesar = see-zerr in my mind yet technically it should be more like kaiser i know weird) 

Harry Potter cool stuff! Like ‘Expecto Patronum’ = I wait for/expect a patron/protector and it’s v. cool because patronus is the normal form and patronum is the accusative form as the ‘waiting’ is being done to it. Languages are cool. [Sibyls were oracles so Sibyll Trelawny makes sense!] [Also there’s a latin version of HP so.]

No capital letters expect for names!! So that makes them easy to recognise!! :) 

Tenses and declensions are v. important in latin!! Word order doesn’t make a great difference in terms of translation (though verb tends to go at end of a sentence) so you gotta know and learn your tenses and declensions. 

[O   S   T   MUS   TIS    NT] reciting tenses out loud is very useful for remembering! We had to recite the present, imperfect, perfect tenses at the start of each lesson 

Declensions are these cool things that sort things into families (bit like french but easier tbh) - you can recognise which declension from the ending of the word most times (gen rules : 1st declension female, 2nd male, 3rd the whatever they want pot)

Derivations are your friend! e.g. canis = dog aka canine, hortus = garden aka horticulture! Helpful for remembering vocab! Make links in your brain and the meaning will follow! 

A website that I found that seems legit and a good starting point for ppl who have need some structure as to where to start ALSO THEIR REFERENCE CHARTS!!! IMPORTANT!!! 

If you know a romance language, like spanish + french, then you might see links between the languages! like the verb être in french has a similar pattern to esse (to be) in latin. Useful for reinforcing both languages (and latin is the root of these languages so… :D) 

As with any language, practice practice!!! 

Another website that links some good resources [not all of them work as bit outdated – with this though as long as links work, the stuff won’t be ‘incorrect’ because it’s old… like latin is v. old language lol don’t worry]

Handouts on grammar, vocab etc that I wish I had had… the exercises (scroll down!!!!) may be interesting for self learners!!

Also, don’t worry about ë / ē (dots and lines over words) they’re mainly to help with speaking and you don’t need to consider them when trying to learn to read latin 

ALSO WRITING LATIN IS RATHER COMPLICATED (easy sentences are manageable, just don’t try to write essays XD) STICK TO TRANSLATING TEXTS  FIRST to build up your vocab and get your grammar good!!

Latin wiktionary  This is in latin and kind of intimidating but you can always just bathe in the beauty that is the latin language. 

Here is a vocab tester [and also gives free rice for every correct answer what’s not to like]

A very neat website (linked to main page because it also has also ancient languages resources if you are interested) that has resource lists [way better than any i could make and also gives a description of the resource ] that you should check out!! [again where WAS THIS when i was learning latin…? obviously didn’t use all the resources i could have had access to *grrrr*] 

Okay this post is getting long! I’ll make a post for ppl currently learning and link it here (I might repeat some info/resources listed on this post but there will be a different focus)
