Accusative Case Revision

Download this episode (5 min)   

This original lesson contains the singular and plural forms of examples drawn from all declensions of the accusative. The same examples are used as in the previous revision of the nominative, with the verb habeo.

This is a more natural way of learning the case endings for the different declensions,and is probably similar to oral methods used by the ancients.

Just because you can make a pretty grammar table, does not mean that memorising the table is the most practical way to internalise the information.

Nominative Case Revision

Download this episode (5 min)   

This original lesson follows the following form:

Each question contains singular and plural in the form of question and answer, covering all declensions, nominative case only.

Estne tibi charta? Immo, sunt mihi chartae.

Suntne tibi musae? Vero, domine, sunt mihi musae.

Estne tibi dominus? Immo, sunt mihi domini.
Suntne tibi domini? Vero, sunt mihi domini.

Suntne tibi dii? Immo vero, est mihi deus.
Estne tibi deus? Ita est, domine, est mihi deus.
All declensions are covered.

This is a more natural way of learning the case endings for the different declensions,and is probably similar to oral methods used by the ancients.

Just because you can make a pretty grammar table, does not mean that memorising the table is the most practical way to internalise the information.

Ablatives, revision for singular and plural, all declensions

Download this episode (4 min)   

Ablatives of all declensions, in the context of a simple sentence, in singular and then plural.
This method of rehearsing your knowledge is more useful than learning a declension table, when it comes to actualising and activating your knowledge.
Just because it is possible to make tables of declensions, does not mean that memorising tables is the fastest way to learn the material.
One's knowledge should be instinctual. This revision exercise is designed to encourage you to develop an instinctual knowledge of the ablative case.

Bennett - The list of words in Latin that have a long vowel before two consonants

Download this episode (39 min)   

This boring but important audio file, is a reading of Bennett's list of the most important words that have a long hidden vowel before two consonants. These are usually unmarked in the dictionary.

I have a headache today, a mild one to be sure, and I almost gave up reading this lot out. I am sure one or two of you enthusiasts might find it useful, despite its total and utter lack of entertainment value.

Please note:
1. derivatives and compounds are not in this list
2. words with ns and nf are not in the list, as the vowel in front of ns and nf is almost always long.
3. the verbs ending in asco, esco, isco
4. Some Greek loan words
5. Nouns and adjectives in x, where the genitive case shows that the preceeding vowel is a long vowel.
