Is it worth it to learn Latin to read older litterature in its

>learning latin just for the funz

Loser

Are you telling me you're not fluent in latin yet? Geez louise!

Learning Latin is going to have more use for you outside of reading original Latin texts. Your perspective on vocab will change, and you will be able to pick up many words and languges quickly.

What books are good for learning latin autodidactically

Start with Lingua Latina per se Illustrata, Pars I: Familia Romana.

>>9131949
Yes, but also so you can much more easily learn other latin languages later.

Wheelock's! I have Learn to Read Latin by Keller & Russell, which some tend to prefer, but I think Wheelock's Latin is the best there is.

I would also avoid this:

(It's not good at all!) (I wouldn't have purchased it if I had a choice. Went through the series as an extra warm up - it's by far the worst.)

Always!

I randomly made a discord yesterday. If you do decide to start with Wheelock's or anything for that matter, I have many resources to share (and Anki flashcards)! Someone requested them yesterday and I'll be going through my HD later this afternoon to send them to him. If you need any, drop by and leave a throwaway or shoot "angel" a message. https://discord.gg/2vWWThG

Best wishes and Happy Studying!

can someone help me translate the following phrase?

>"human, after all"

Google translate gives me the following translation:

"cum omnibus ominibus"

but when flipped i got >pic related

Greek and Latin for the win OP.

>>9133865
Homo, post omnis
I guess

>>9135109
this sounds way too literal
im not educated in Latin but i somehow doubt comma usage of that sort is appropriate.

No. Remember that J.K. Rowling was a Classics major and the departments are filled with her worshipers. Though they are all rich whores with daddy issues so it is easy to get Pantaloon there.

>>9135262
**Poontang** not Pantaloon

>>9135142
He only put in the comma to mimic the person who requested a translation. >>9133865
can remove it as he sees fit.

>>9135262
She was? Wasn't the 48 Laws of Power author as well?

>>9135262
>>9135270
I'd kinda prefer pantaloon to poontang
poontang sounds like some sort of infection

>>9135109
wouldn't it be: homo post omnes

we learned latin in highschool just to read catullus m8, go for it its not that hard

>tfw infection

>>9135262
>caring about old hags

>>9135142
Yeah too literal. There is no one-to-one translation that I can think of.

I'd use: homo revera (human in truth/reality)
Or: homo tamen (human nevertheless/still)

>>9137223
One would need the context to provide an effective translation.

I assume he's referring to the Daft Punk track, so it would imply one is human [rather than machine].

>>9131949
What answer are you expecting? You decide if it's worth it. Do you want to read latin books in the original language? Then it's worth it. Learning something new is inherently good.
