TASK TWO
Now let's listen again to the Chapter I story read aloud, repeating each sentence after the speaker. She goes a bit too fast, but do the best you can and don't get discouraged. You will be reading like this soon yourself.
Next we will read each sentence and translate from Latin to English orally. Use your classroom phrases to ask for help if you need it:
quid significat .....? What does .... mean?
non intellego .... I don't understand ....? (be specific)
Nota bene:
Now let's listen to the story and repeat after the reader.
Time now to translate your first Latin passage!

Nota bene:
- Remember when translating that Latin has no articles (a, an, the). You have to supply them.
- Present tense verbs can be translated three different ways: she reads, she is reading, she does read.
Now let's listen to the story and repeat after the reader.
Time now to translate your first Latin passage!

HEBDOMAS QUINTA: Due February 22 Homework
February 21, 2018
You will need a good English Dictionary to complete this assignment. If you don't have one at home, try the online Merriam-Webster.
A derivative is a word that comes into a language from a different language. English is full of Latin derivatives (as are French, Spanish and Italian). Over time the meaning of the derivative in its new language can change, a little or a lot. Nevertheless, knowing the Latin roots of words can help us figure out the meaning of unfamiliar English words. In addition, English words can help us figure out many Latin words. For each lesson in our textbook there will be a worksheet on derivatives. You can find them HERE.
Directions:
Give the Latin word from the vocabulary list to which the English words are related. Then write a definition of one of the English words. Choose three of the English words you have defined and use them in a sentence that reveals that you understand the meaning.
In choosing words to define, go for ones that you don't know at all or don't use frequently.
The sentences "The house was rustic" Or "the village was small" do not show that you have understood the meaning of rustic or village.
The purpose here is to get under the skin of two languages, Latin and English, and to make connections. Give some thought to your choices, definitions and sentences. Your thoughtfulness and creativity will be apparent, if you use them.

More from First Words in Latin handout. Make a T-Chart on the right hand page opposite to where you pasted this list. See sample T-Chart here.
quid est nōmen tibi? What
is your name?
mihi nōmen est _______________.
Quid agis tu? How are you doing?
mihi placet! I am glad (to hear that you are well)
mihi paenitet (am sorry you aren’t doing well)
tibi grātiās agō Thank you
nīl est or nihil est you are welcome
libenter you are welcome
tē cūra! Take care
(of yourself)
valē! Goodbye to one
person
valete! goodbye to more than one person
Being polite
quaeso: please
amabo te: (alternate way of saying please; literal meaning "I will love you [if you do what I want])
gratias: thank
you
libenter: you’re
welcome
ignosce: sorry (forgive me)
These are expression. The literal meanings of many of the words are different from their meaning in a colloquial (conversational) expression. When we use the expression "I am wiped out," we don't mean wiped literally. We use it figuratively. Same with Latin.
Use one of the Latin dictionaries in the back of the room (shelved) or this online Latin Dictionary
to locate the meanings of the following words: nomen, ago, gratia, nihil, libenter, amo or amare, and ignosco. Write these definitions in the Latin side of your column. Now, try to think of English words that may be related to or derived from the Latin words and write that on the English side of your column. If you get stuck, try this Online Etymological Dictionary.

Salvete, discipuli!
I have labelled different posts to indicate which tasks to do today.
Salvete, discipuli!
I have labelled different posts to indicate which tasks to do today.
- TASK 1: cut and paste "First words in Latin," putting the 5 lists on the left hand pages of your note book. There is a copy of this handout, which you received yesterday, in the pages section of our blog which you can download. Copy and study list one: "Greetings." Then play the Quizlet matching game.
- TASK 2. Watch the video by ScorpioMartianus on "Salutationes" (Greetings). He speaks a bit too quickly for beginners, so don't stress out about following every word. While he speaks, the script of what he is saying scrolls down so you can follow the text. PLEASE NOTE: A copy of the script for this video is in pages. Ask your teacher if he can print out copies for you. If not, download it yourself. HOMEWORK: study the first conversation "Boy Meets Girl" and the vocabulary list at home by downloading it from the blog.
- TASK 3. Textbook Scavenger Hunt. This is last week's blog posts (Hebdomas quarta) and is a great way to prepare for tomorrow when we begin READING our textbook, Ecce Romani I
Valete omnes, Magistra Gill
