Thanks.
It certainly looks like English is now the new Lingua Franca - but remember, only 150 years ago, French had that role in many respects......so who knows what the future may bring - but for now, the situation is much as you have described i...
Dear Evan,
It's encouraging to see Brazil is on top of the list as the first country that speaks a Latin-based language. The appalling state of Brazilian universities in this area (meaning the absolute lackness of quality didactic materials in Po...
I am finding it really interesting seeing where in the world people are coming to the Latinum site from:
Here is the most recent top ten list:
United States (US) 11,201
United Kingdom (GB) 2,037
Canada (CA) 872

Recent research has shown it can be demonstrated that the brain responds to newly learned information, even when it cannot be consciously recalled in a deliberative effort.
I suspect that a mechanism related to this is operating with natural lang...

Your students know more than you think....
Recent research has shown it can be demonstrated that the brain responds to newly learned information, even when it cannot be consciously recalled in a deliberative effort.
I suspect that a mechanism related to this is operating with natural language learning: not all knowledge is testable, and the brain's sub-cognitive memory is probably kicking in during language processing.....meaning the whole is greater than the sum of the parts....
Here is the research:

Research on Learning new words
Familiar and newly learned words are processed by the same neural networks in the brain
25.08.2009
Our vocabulary continues to grow and expand even in adulthood. Just ten years ago, the word ‘blog’ did not yet exist – and now we no longer remember when we heard this word for the first time or when we learned its meaning. At some stage new words become just as familiar to us as words we have learned earlier. One of the areas of interest in the Academy of Finland’s Neuroscience Research Programm… Continue

- Yes, I watched the video about the session held at Lexington, and I think that the idea of re-writing a piece of prose in different Latin is very useful. I've only been learning Latin 'properly' for just under a year, so I'm not quite there yet. Give me another year at the current pace, and I'll be able to have a go at something like that. I'm a great fan of Adler's book, and it is perfectly suited for turning into a podcast - almost as though it was written for that. It is written according to an oral methodology, so I suppose that is why it works so well in that medium.

Mayer Goldberg said… - This is a lovely book! Thanks for the pointer. I read a lot (anything from the Vulgate to neo-Latin) but don't get much chance to speak. I did get Milena Minkova's book on latin composition, and I'm going to try my hand one of her suggestions -- to rewrite existing prose, rather than first try to write original prose from scratch. This seems like a great intermediate level exercise between finishing up the grammar and writing original prose.

- שלום אבן:
העברית שלך מענינת, אבל אני לא יודע איך יגיבו החברים האחרים בפורום אם נתכתב בעברית. אם אתה רוצה להתאמן בעברית שלח לי הודעות בדואר אלקטרוני.
לא בדיוק הבנתי את התוכנית ללימוד לטינית המופיעה באתר שלך. מהו אותו ספר של אדלר? "ספר הנסתר" הוא ספר של כת האיסיים, הלא כן? שוב, מה זה קשור ללטינית ולאותו אדלר. כיצד אתה מציע ללמוד מן האתר שלך? פשוט להוריד הקלטות ולהקשיב להם? תודה!

- hi Evan, thanks for all you are doing online! I've also found problems in some of the Google Books scans, although when I wrote to the folks there they encouraged me to alert them to defective scans; apparently as they add more and more libraries, that gives them a chance to try a book again and make a better job of it! I am guessing that because of all the problems posed by not being able to use a spellcheck to monitor the quality of the OCR, any book that is mixed languages (like Latin and English in the old school textbooks) must be a real challenge for them. I love all those old schoolbooks online - at Internet Archive I even found an 18th century Aesop textbook for schoolboys - it's a blast! I put reproduced it fable by fable here: Aesop of 1787. What great old stuff!
