It's known that Italian has the closest vocabulary to Latin, and Romanian has the closest grammar. If you were to put them together, just how close would you be to recreating Latin (obviously, Latin's still around - I'm just asking this out of fun).

Hello. I have been trying to learn latin. I tried buying the idiot's guide to latin (please, no dumb jokes about that). But I couldn't learn. Is there any website (if so, leave link), book, whatever that might help. Thanks.

I need to translate the words 'My True Love' into Latin. Can anyone help me?

I'm currently enrolled in Latin I through my school, however I'm having the hardest time keeping up with it. It may be that I have an insufficient teacher, or I'm just not processing the language. I've already completed 3 years of Spanish, and I had NO problem with that. ¿Qué es mi problema?

I've been searching for where it is written in Latin about the founding of Rome to no avail. If anyone knows where I can find written Latin about it, I thank you in advance :p

i'm on my own. i took 2 years of latin in HS, but quit last year to pursue other classes. i now wish to try to learn it on my own. how long should this take? any free resources? paid resources?

If you study it enough, really master it, is it possible to SPEAK latin? I mean, I don't see why it wouldn't be. It is just like any other language. The only difference is you can't really hear it spoken, and so certain things might be a bit off from 'authentic' latin that was spoken back in the good ol' Roman days...but other than that, seems like it could be done. What is your say on this?
Wikipedia says a million people fluently speak it! Cool.

How would you write "The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things" in Latin?

peacock. Why you don't speak a word of Latin and don't eat roast peacock sandwiches any more?

Hi!

I know there are many scholars who can read Latin and use the language for that purpose, but I don't know anyone who can actually converse. Can students who study Latin, for example, communicate in Latin about everyday matters like their peers who study, say, German or Spanish can? Or is Latin today, since it is a dead language, mostly a reference language used for research, and we do not have enough information to reconstruct it for speaking purposes? I am thinking about pronunciation, but also vocabulary, grammar, sentence construction, accent and intonation, rhythm... Can a scholar who studied seriuosly Latin for many years be confident, that if he/she could go somehow back in the past, will be able to easily communicate with the citizens of that time and mutually understand each other? I know Latin evolved and changed a lot through the ages, and I am asking this in general terms, but I would be particularly interested in our knowledge of Latin as spoken by Gaius Julius Ceasar.

I'm creating some marketing material for a business and would like to depict this phrase in Latin. The business sells jewelry that is both beautiful and of good quality (strength)

Okay so i asked a similar question before and have decide to either take a year of latin or mandarin chinese. Latin because it will help me understand the english language better and help in SATs. Mandarin chinese because it really helps in business. If I only have one year to learn part of the language which would be better?
I am guessing latin but what do you think?

Can anybody translate this phrase into Latin?

How would you say the phrase "sound across the sea" in Latin?

"Sound" as in an audible noise, not "sound" as in "a sound mind" or sanity, and not sound as in the body of water on the inside of barrier islands.

I'm not talking about Latin as a language,but a race. People say they are Latino/Latina and some times they say they are Hispanic. Well, what's the difference?

I need the sentence "You speak a really cool language" (cool as in awesome, neato, nifty, fantastic) translated in french, latin, and spanish. 1 is fine, all 3 is great. Please make sure it is correct!

If they were to learn and speak English, that is. I've heard Romanian & Italian. Also, please let me know what you are basing your suggestion on. Maybe you have taken a class in Latin, or you study languages, etc. Thanks so much.

My son is due soon, and i think it would make things easier for him in the future if he learns a new language when hes young. My boyfriend and i are considering only speaking Chinese and Pig Latin when he is born so he speaks the languages fluently before he even starts grade school. only problem; we cant speak chinese or pig Latin. Is there a professional i can hire to come to our house for 5 years and speak chinese and pig latin??

Thank you in advance,
Slaphie and Dick
