Help with pronunciation
Posted: Wed May 24, 2006 7:36 pm
Greetings all -
Am new to this site, and have been studying D'Ooge for a couple of weeks now. Also, on the advice of some here, bought the "Lingua Latina" to help as a reader. Am enjoying this challenge immensely, but have noticed its not nearly as easy learning a new language as it was 30 years ago in high school. lol
Anyway, the problem that bothers me the most is not being able to practice speaking with someone to work on pronunciation as I go along. My main concern today is with the "Q" words - Quis, Quae, Quid, Quot, -que, etc. Is the "Q" pronunced like "K" in "Key" or like "Q" in "Quick"? And I have absolutely no idea how one says "Quoque". Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also, are there any groups with XFire or similar software setups that get together occasionally to practice?
Thanks to all.
