Fifth Declension with prepositions &c.

Download this episode (6 min)   

Welcome to Latinum, the Latin language learning lessons from London.

Res, and dies.

You will find it much easier to learn the Latin declensions using the format I have given here, as each form of the declension is given in a context that makes sense.
For example, instead of just learning musa,musae,musae, musam,musa,musa, you will learn,haec musa "this song", amor musae, "love of a song", caesar honorem musae dat,"Caesar gives honour to a song", and so on. I expect that the information will get into your head more quickly this way, and on the way, you will reinforce a little syntax, as every sentence about caesar contains three cases - caesar, in the nominative, honorem in the accusative, and the next word, in this example musae, in the dative. this is why I have used the verb dat - to help you remember we are talking about the dative here.
