You have reached the most desolate fields of my heart, even been blooming a flower still in my mind.

i spent today catching up on some mundane tasks (emails n stuff) as well as finally getting started on my conflict psychology assignment. for my assignment i have to write an intelligence briefing of a known terrorist and give an explanation as to how and why he was radicalised. it’s super different to anything i’ve ever written before but all of the evidence and theories are so interesting and relevant that i don’t mind the difficulty too much.

my background noise/listening for today was a constant stream of episodes of the jenna and julien podcast. i love jenna and julien so much! you can listen to their podcast on youtube, soundcloud and itunes - all are free of course!

Listening comprehension update- 1 week in

Just did my first hour not too long ago, something I was able to notice compared to the first day was the ability to distinguish sounds easier. Compared to the first day where I wanted to rip my hair out, trying to figure out how they were saying words so quickly and vaguely while today I just listened for what I didn’t hear, I was able to hear it the quick second it was said, then I repeated it a few times to make sure I really heard it. I’m still using that same episode of If you are the one, I’m actually really enjoying it. I thought I would get bored with it since it was a dating show, but I find myself laughing along to answers of questions.I’m about 32 minutes into it and all together the amount of words I didn’t know wasn’t too much. I;ve found a similar dating show in Taiwan and since I’m now doing 2 hours of listening per day, I’m still debating on whether or not I want to keep watching If you are the one, or start an episode of the Taiwan show and do and hour of both everyday.

hey! I'm interested in learning to translate Latin but I have no idea how to go about it. could you offer any advice or tips on how to actually translate and understand? 🥰

Learning to translate Latin is so fun! I’m excited for you! 

Latin nouns and adjectives have special endings (cases) that can change depending on what the noun’s function in the sentence is. Here’s a quick summary of the cases and their functions! Depending on what your native language is, learning a language that has cases can be challenging at first, so a good teacher or a good textbook is the best way to start. 

I started learning Latin with the textbook Wheelock’s Latin, and it’s a good introduction to some Latin concepts, but it can be tough to study from Wheelock on your own, as the textbook is fairly dry and grammar-heavy. There’s a free online copy you can check out here, although it’s from an earlier edition. Wheelock has sets of sentences in each grammar lesson that you can practice translating, and it’s easy enough to find the correct translations online, so that you can check your work against a teacher’s guide. 

I would also recommend picking up a copy of English Grammar for Students of Latin, which can help make certain grammar topics much clearer. I’ve also used Essential Latin Grammar, which is more like a reference book than a textbook but can still be quite useful. 

In terms of learning vocabulary, you can make a lot of progress on your own with a textbook or even with Quizlet - there are so many sets of basic Latin vocab words that you can study for free!  

I also just made a short video explaining my own classical languages experience and recommending some of my favorite Latin and Greek resources, and you can check that out here!

Good luck on your studies! Latin can be difficult, but it’s so fun and rewarding!
