    I follow a literature and writing professor that says exactly the same: he says that in order to develop your language skills (in this case, in Portuguese, our vernacular) we have to keep a daily diary, using in the same fashion Luke teaches. I tried for some time but, shamely, I abandoned. Now I'm inspired to restart - with one for my first language and another one for latin. Luke's videos are always inspiring!

    It has certainly helped me to maintain more obscure vocabulary.

    • @ScorpioMartianus
      @ScorpioMartianus  6 месяцев назад +13

      Yes, though to do the subtitles here via the RUclips platform it took more than 4 hours - for a ten minute video. Hardcoding the subtitles would double that time. That’s an entire day’s work - extremely tedious, high-concentration work, I must add - for a ten minute video. If a video were to get 100K or 200K views, it might be worth it; otherwise I have to spend my time on other work (I work seven days a week as it is, no days off).
      Also, many have requested the ability to turn off the subtitles for various pedagogical reasons, such as teachers in classrooms.

    @ironinquisitor3656 6 месяцев назад +2

    I've been practicing pronouncing Late Latin style pieces of text I've been writing down in a very different way. Taking what we know from the very earliest Early Old French texts like The Oaths of Strasburg or the Eulalia Sequence, and assuming that Gallo-Romance was still pretty similar in the late 8th century I've tried doing it according to what Roger Wright has said pre-Carolingian Renaissance. At first it felt a little awkward due to the huge difference in phonology and grammar between Old French and Late Latin but with a lot of practice it feels natural, almost second nature to do it now. I wish I could show my example.

    I really like this method, my one question is how do I know if I’m getting the grammar correct, when it comes to conjugations and how words are modified and declined, if I’m the one writing and reading and speaking, how do I know what I’ve written is grammatically correct even if I know all the right vocabulary?

    • @ScorpioMartianus
      @ScorpioMartianus  6 месяцев назад +4

      Hey, that’s a great question. The key as a learner is to have some guidance - there are numerous textbooks for Latin, so you should employ grammar and vocabulary you already know, or, if you don’t know, move slightly beyond your comfort zone. You can always emend errors in the future.

    Salvē Lūcĭus!
    A Latin beginner here. I wanted to ask about phonemic vowel length. The idea is straightforward, and one of my native languages has it, but I can't make it sound "right". No matter what I try, I either sound like a sinus wave (noticeable jumps in speed, like a musician compensating a long note by shortening the following note to stay on tempo), or the vowel length is indistinguishable. I also noticed the sinus wave effect in most modern Latin speakers; every sentence sounds oratorial and magisterial. Unlike, say, Japanese or Arabic, where everyday conversations sound appropriately casual. How did you get the timing right? Could you make a video speaking "lowlife Latin" 🤣 Like an angry Roman commoner after he lost his money on a chariot race.
    PS
    I was told some rare loanwords may have been pronounced with a /v/ or something close to it during the Classical Latin period. Is that true?

    • @ScorpioMartianus
      @ScorpioMartianus  5 месяцев назад

      Thanks for the comment! On /v/, no, that sound only becomes part of Latin in very few places in the 1cAD, as /β/, and grows in popularity slowly as the centuries roll by.
      As for phonemic vowel length, it is critical to make sure it is there, even if exaggerated, to start with, and then little by little it can be accelerated, along with the whole phrase, to become more “natural.” These videos may help: ruclips.net/p/PLQQL5IeNgck0-tQ4AZgKFMlQCJud_VY_H&si=a2Volz0PbuPzcAs9

    I think this is an excellent technique. However, one may need to have reached a quite decent level (high intermediate, let's say) before it is truly feasible? At an earlier stage in learning perhaps it may be better to use the Alexander Arguelles scriptorium technique, working with relatively simple authentic target language texts?🤔

    • @fisicogamer1902
      @fisicogamer1902 6 месяцев назад

      not necessarily. You can translate from english using chatGPT. Plus, it can generate a list of unique words in the translation with english glosses! You can even ask for etymologies of new words, making the learning even easier!
      You can use scriptorium, but the problem I see with it is that the texts are "not yours". The brain has a bias towards certain subjects, so you'll read easier some texts talking about something you like. It's a bit hard to find authentic texts that talk about what you like. Even if you do, they may speak in a formal way, that feels soulless and boring. If you translate your informal text in chatGPT, those are still your words, talking about what you like. You have a better chance of reading and rereading the text, since it's about your tastes anyways. As a bonus, you get to know more about yourself.
      But at the end, do whatever it takes to continue reading, listening, writing and speaking the language. If you still find scriptorium more interesting, even with the drawbacks, go for it!

    Salve! Per Duolingo linguam Latinam discere coepi. Nunc Latine scribere aut loqui possum, sed non multum et valde male, et ego Latinam in gradu A1 discere volo.
    But that's only for now, as I've just began it in this month😀 So I want to ask you the following questions about things I don't fully understand and want to clarify:
    1) How actually to pronounce the sound "l" in the Classical Latin properly? Because in the book "Vox Latina" by Sydney Allen, which you told about in one of your videos, it's described as dark and velarised in most positions, except when preceding "i", and doubled, and even with some evidences. However, in all your videos I hear clear semi-soft "l" in all positions, and I'm not sure whom I should believe.
    2) Also I don't understand how exactly to pronounce the final vowel with "m" in words, when it's followed by the next word starting with a vowel.
    3) Are there any specific rules regarding where to pronounce long and short vowels, where the long ones aren't marked with macrons?
    Thanks a lot for your response in advance!
