I’ve always wanted to learn Latin and had a Latin-English dictionary in high school but never really applied myself.
Fast forward 20+ years and I finally started to learn through self study in earnest. That was about three years ago now and I have made some headway. My goal is to be able to read Latin and Greek.
At first I found some YouTube Learning Latin with Virgil by tesla man and Visual Latin by Dwane Thomas very good starting places. I then took out a couple of Latin books from my local library and have also bough Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata by Hans H. Orberg and the 6th Edition of Wheelock’s Latin. For Greek I’ve found some good resources online an bought Learning to Read New Testament Greek by David Alan Black and have found the Bible Hub as a good source of material to practice with. I also have a subscription to Hebdomada Aenigmatum from the mylatinlover.it site.
Today I was reading about Phytoplankton on Wikipedia and noticed that it said that phytoplankton was from the Greek words φυτόν (phyton) and πλαγκτός (planktos). But thought that isn’t πλαγκτός (playktos or plagktos) and thought that it would be nice to join a forum to ask questions like this. So I looked for a Latin forum and found Textkit.
Hi everyone.
