Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Latin lives and you can learn to read it! Using the easy “translate it now” technique with no excruciating grammar lessons. Start learning by translating using a dictionary and writing in the large margins of this book. The author is using this method of language learning to read texts in Latin, Greek, Russian, Hebrew, Spanish, Japanese and Chinese.Latin is not a dead language. It lives in many english words especial medical and legal words. In fact over sixty percent of english words come from Latin. The percent is even higher in the sciences, law, and medicine.This book uses a Latin medical text from the 17th century called Observationes Medicae (Medical Observations) by Nicolai Tulpii (Nicholas Tulp) who’s birth name was Claes Pieterszoon born in the 16th century just a bit after the Middle Ages.In the Middle Ages paper was expensive so book margins were used for taking notes. Books were often published with wide margins. Modern books exclude the large margins. The author of the forward, publisher of this book, could not find a modern book in Latin with wide margins so he created one, this book, for his own use and after seeing how useful it was learning Latin he decided to share it you. Don’t worry, jump right in. Immerse yourself in Latin. Take a dictionary and look up each word writing the translation in the margins. It does not feel like learning it feels like filling in a crossword puzzles or putting together a jigsaw puzzle. At first you will look up every word and you will get the tenses wrong but as you continue you will look up less and understand more and more. The tenses will start to emerge naturally as you use the language. By the time you get to “FINIS,” the end of the book, you will have a much greater understanding of Latin. When you buy this book you are buying the layout, the format for learning and the paper (The latin text itself is in the public domain) and you will be on your way to joining all the famous people in history who read Latin.
