Teaching Latin (2 Viewers)

[Lexicographer]

Basic level will have to do, since B Sci isn't quite language centered.

Anyway, I'm a master linguist. I can learn it alone if I need to.

Bah, I can't choose between languages!

USYD offers:
- Arabic
- Indian .. which is Hindu or Urdu i think
- Chinese
- French
- Italian
- Japanese
- Korean
- German
- Latin
- Modern Greek
- Hebrew
- Russian
- Spanish

and I think UNSW is about the same. ARGH! Choices.

i'll be doing french, which is derived from latin

 

[babydoll_]

[...]

Japanese, Chinese, Korean and possibilty Russian

 

[mic]

french, italian, spanish...

english is 60% derived from latin.

can't remember any others off the top of my head, but mainly western european languages.

 

[Lexicographer]

Romanian and a LITTLE bit of German (which is more Tutonic)

Just look up "Romance Languages" and you'll find them

French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Romanian, English.

I told you so...

 

[Lexicographer]

Damn I forgot to PM whoever it was who offered to lend me their old books and now it's all blurry and I can't read and I can't find my glasses et cetera. Grr...

So yeah, someone tell me who you are and I'll PM you or something. Mic, can you tute me too? I'll be nice.

Ok, I'm really blind now. Damn court hearing had to wake up at 0800. See you all in the morning, or lunchtime whatever. Bye.
