Latinhasfascinatedandchallengedmeeversincemymothermademesignupforit inthetenthgrade.FromthefirstdayofclassIwasintriguedbythewayLatin words fit together like pieces of a puzzle. My interest was also stirredwhenIbegantonoticethatagreatnumberofEnglishwordscomedirectlyfromLatinwords. So even from the beginning, I had a strong appreciation for theLatinlanguage.ButatthatyoungageIwasunabletoforeseethemanywaysinwhichLatinwouldenrichmylife.Overtheyearsmyadmirationofthislanguagehascontinuedtogrow.And,withtheaddedperspectivethatcomeswithgettingolder,IhaveamuchdeeperappreciationnotonlyoftheLatinlanguage,butofeducationingeneral.
Consequently, when my sister asked me to teach beginning Latin to her twohomeschooled children, I was delighted—until I remembered that my twoprospectivestudentswouldbeontheirownmostofthetimebecauseofthegreatdistance separatingus.Aftergiving it some thought, I realized thathaving therighttextbookwouldbecrucialinasituationlikethis.IbegantosearchfortheperfectbeginningLatinmethod.AsIsearched,Ipicturedinmymindabookthatwould:

However,afterexaminingmanybooks,Ireluctantlyadmittedtomyselfthatthebook I had pictured in my mind did not exist. Therefore, because I wascompletelyignorantofhowdifficult it istowriteabook,IsetouttowritemyownbeginningLatinmethod.

I have tried to accommodate these and other requests by putting theanswer key in the back of the book and by providing free pronunciationrecordings,availablefordownloadatwww.gettingstartedwithlatin.com.

ManyofthehomeschoolmothersIhavemetandworkedwithseemtobeveryconcernedaboutLatinpronunciation.Theyareworriedthattheywillsomehowcause permanent damage to their child’s intellect if they mispronounce Latinvowels or if they choose to emulate thewrong style of pronunciation. Pleaseallow me to address this issue: Classical pronunciation is the style ofpronunciationused in theLatin departments ofmost colleges anduniversities.Latin scholars use this type of pronunciation because it is supposed to reflectaccuratelythewayLatinwaspronouncedbytheancientRomans.Ecclesiastical(church)pronunciation,ontheotherhand,isthestyleofpronunciationusedbytheRomanCatholicChurch.RomanCatholicstudentsmaywanttoemploythistype of pronunciation because theymay have the opportunity to use it in therecitationofprayersorinotherreligiousactivities.
Regardlessofwhichpronunciationstyleyouchoose,pleasedon’tloseanysleepoverit.Ofcourseyoushoulddoyourbesttopronouncethewordscorrectly.Butplease remember that if you domispronounce aword, youwill not ruin yourchild’seducation.And,theLatinPolicewillnotcometoyourhomeandarrestyou.
GRAMMATICALINFORMATION

LATINCOMPOSITION
Foranadditionalchallenge,youcantrytotranslatetheanswersbackintoLatinusing the knowledge you have gained from that lesson. This is called Latincomposition. Figuring out how to write something in Latin can be a greatlearning tool because it requires the student to think about the material in adifferent way. Try it and see! Again, it is probably best to write these Latincompositionexercisesinanotebook.

LATINEXPRESSIONS
Haveyoueverwonderedwhatcogitoergosummeans?
Cogito means I think.Ergo means therefore (don’t confuse ergo with ego).Sum,asyoualreadyknow,meansIam.So,cogitoergosum literallymeans Ithink,thereforeIam.
This expression comes from the great French philosopher, scientist andmathematicianRenéDescartes(pronouncedday-KART).Descartesreasonedthatbyhisownactofdoubtinghecouldbesureofhisownexistence.This ideaiscapturedbytheLatinexpressioncogitoergosum.
Speaking of Latin, the Latin version of Descartes’ name is Cartesius. SoanythingpertainingtoDescartesisreferredtoasCartesian.

LATINEXPRESSIONS
Haveyoueverbeentoldthatsomethingisanonsequitur?
Nōn, asyoualreadyknow,meansnot.Sequiturmeans it follows. So literally,non sequitur means it does not follow. You may ask,What doesn’t follow?That’sagoodquestion!
Anonsequitur iswhen the conclusion drawn from the facts presented is notlogicallysupportedbythefacts.Here’sanexampleofanonsequitur:
Fact#1:Spinachhaslotsofvitaminsandminerals.Fact#2:Spinachisgreen.Conclusion:Allgreenfoodshavelotsofvitaminsandminerals.
Thisconclusionisanonsequiturbecauseitdoesnotfollowlogicallyfromwhatcamebefore it.Fact#1and fact#2areboth true,but theconclusionbasedonthose facts is indeed faulty. Not all green foods have lots of vitamins andminerals.Greencandyandgreenbirthdaycakemaybedelicious,butprobablynotverynutritious.
Anonsequitur is anexampleof a logical fallacy,ormistake.Hereare a fewexamplesofsomeothercommonfallacies:
Mereassertion—Justbecauseyousaysomethingistruedoesnotprovethatitistrue.

LATINEXPRESSIONS
Haveyoueverseenc.orca.beforeadate?
Theabbreviationsc.andca. standforcirca (usuallypronounced inEnglishasSUR-kuh).Circa is a Latin preposition thatmeansaround. It is related to theword circum which you already know. Writers usually place this expressionbefore a year to express an approximate date when the exact date cannot beknown.Hereisanexampleofhowcircaisused:
The quilt that AuntMartha bought at the garage sale turned out to be avaluableantiquefromc.1860.
Historians and other scholars have many ways of dating historical events(sometimeswithextremeaccuracy),butoften it is just impossible toknowforsuretheyearsomethinghappened.

LATINEXPRESSIONS
Every college student dreams of graduating summa cum laude. Others arepleasedtograduatemagnacumlaude.Stillothersaresatisfiedtograduatecumlaude.Somearehappyjusttograduateatall!
Let’sworkourwayupfromthebottom.Cum,asyoualreadyknow,meanswith.Laudeistheablativesingularformofthewordlauswhichmeanspraise.Thisisnecessarybecausecum takes the ablative case.So literally,cumlaudemeanswith praise. This term is usually applied to graduates who have achieved acertaingradeaverageduringtheircollegeyears.
Those with even better grades earn the designation magna cum laude atgraduation.Magnaisanadjectivethatmeansgreat.Magnagoeswithlaude.Soliterally,magnacumlaudemeanswithgreat praise.Remember that inLatin,thewordsdon’thavetobeintherightorder.Eventhoughmagnaandlaudeareseparatedbythewordcumtheystillgotogether.Havingthewordsinthisorderputsmoreemphasisonthewordmagna.

POSSESSIVES
Possessive words show ownership of something. In English, we often showpossession by using an apostrophe followed by an s. Consider the followingexamples:

Sometimesweshowpossessionbyusingthewordof.
ThepeakofthemountainThesmellofgarlicThebeginningoftheshow
Youmustdecideonyourownwhethertouseanapostropheortouseoftoshowpossession.
Here are a fewof themost basic rules to rememberwhenusing apostrophes:

THEGENITIVECASE
InLatin,themostcommonwaytoshowpossessionistousethesecondofthefivecases,calledthegenitivecase.Asyoustudythechartbelow,noticethatthegenitivesingularlooksidenticaltothenominativeplural.
HowdoweusethegenitivecaseinLatin?Considerthefollowingexample:
Scaphanautae(thesailor’sboat)
Inthisexampletheboatbelongstothesailor.Sailor (nauta) is in thegenitivecase (nautae) because the sailor possesses the boat. Usually the word in thegenitive case comes immediately after the word it possesses. Here is anotherexample:
Casaagricolae(thefarmer’shouse)
In this example, the house belongs to the farmer. Farmer (agricola) is in thegenitive case (agricolae) because the farmer is possessing the house. Here ishowacompletesentencemightlookwithagenitiveinit:
Inscaphānautaesum(Iaminthesailor’sboat).
![Page 109: Getting Started with Latin: Beginning Latin for Homeschoolers and Self-Taught Students of Any Age](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071523/613cb75ba3339922f86ee6c3/html5/thumbnails/109.jpg)
Rightnowyoumaybeconcernedaboutconfusingthenominativepluralwiththegenitivesingular.Afterall,theydolookalike.Butdon’tworry.Sincegenitivesusuallyfollowthewordstheypossess,theyareusuallyeasytorecognize.

Youalreadyknow that adirectobject is anoun that is the targetof theactionbeingperformedbythesubjectofthesentence.Anindirectobjectisasecondarytargetoftheactiondonebythesubjectofthesentence.Theindirectobjectistheparty that is receiving or benefiting from the action being performed by thesubject. Indirect objects are often accompanied by to or for. In each of thefollowingexamples,theindirectobjectisunderlined:
HegavethebooktoJohnny.Shetoldastorytotheclass.Sheboughtsomepresentsforherfriends.HeshowedhisrockcollectiontoMr.Green.
Andnow,thesamesentencesbutwithadifferentwordorder:
HegaveJohnnythebook.Shetoldtheclassastory.Sheboughtherfriendssomepresents.HeshowedMr.Greenhisrockcollection.
So, although these two ways of expressing the indirect object are wordeddifferently,theystillmeanthesamething.
By the way, take care not to confuse indirect objects with objects of thepreposition.Considerthefollowingexample:
Isailedtotheisland.
Inthisexamplethewordtoisjustapreposition,notpartofanindirectobject.

CONJUGATIONS
Not every Latin verb has the same pattern of endings as the verbs you havestudied so far. In Latin, there are four main patterns of verb endings calledconjugations.The first conjugation, secondconjugation, third conjugation, andfourthconjugationeachhavecertainruleswemustrememberwhenaddingtheappropriate endings. So far, all the action verbs you know are from the firstconjugation.Inthisbookwewillstudyonlythefirstandsecondconjugations.
The followingchartwillhelp to illustrate thedifferencesbetween the firstandsecond conjugations. Portō, a verb you already know, is a verb of the firstconjugation.Habeōisfromthesecondconjugation.
Noticethatinthefirstpersonsingularhabeōhasanebeforethefinalo.Ineachofthesixformsofhabeō,therewillbeanebeforetheverbendinginsteadofana.Also,habēre,theinfinitiveformofhabeō,endsin-ēreinsteadof-āre.Ifaninfinitive ends in -āre, that verb is from the first conjugation. If an infinitiveendsin-ēre,thatverbisfromthesecondconjugation.

LATINEXPRESSIONS
Haveyoueverboughtsomethingundertheconditionofcaveatemptor?
Emptor means buyer.Caveat is a special kind of verb that means let himbeware or may he beware. So literally, caveat emptor means let the buyerbeware.Thisexpressionisusedtowarnpotentialbuyersthatitmayberiskytopurchase something because the seller is not obligated to take it back if it isdefective.
Sometimesthewordcaveat isusedbyitself.EventhoughthiswordisaLatinverb, over time it has come to be used as a noun that means warning. Forexample:
Dadletmegototheparty,butwithonecaveat:behomebefore10:30P.M.orbegroundedforaweek.
Anotherrelatedexpressioniscavecanem.Inthiscase,cave is theformof theverb used to give a command. Cave, then, means beware! Canem is theaccusative form of the word canis which means dog.Cave canem literallymeansbeware(of)thedog.

GENERALADVICE
Congratulations! You have made it all the way to the end of this book. Inclosing,Iwouldliketoofferafewthoughtswhichthereadermayfindhelpful.These tipsandobservationsshouldproveusefulasyoucontinueyourstudyofLatin.
First, a translation tip:When translatingLatin, yourmindmust be awake andalert.Why?Becauseonewordcanmeanseveraldifferentthings.Asyoualreadyknow from experience, the word nautae can be nominative plural, genitivesingular, or dative singular. So when you read Latin, think of all the casepossibilitiesforeachnounandletyourmindquicklyanalyzeeachpossibilityinlight of the context of the sentence. Latin sentences can often be like jigsawpuzzlesthatyoumustputtogether.Yourmindshouldanalyzeandprocesseachword,tryingtoarriveatthecorrectwaytofitthatwordinwiththeotherwordsofthesentence.Thiscanbedifficultatfirst,butyouwillimprovegraduallywithpractice.ItisoftenmentionedthatthestudyofLatinimprovesone’sknowledgeofEnglishvocabulary.Anothergreat advantage to the studyofLatin is that itsharpensthemindbybuildinglogicalthinkingskills.Inaddition,learningLatinalso builds awareness of grammatical and linguistic concepts. The knowledgeyougainfromyoureffortswillbenefityouasyouapproachothersubjectssuchasEnglish,history,philosophy,andreligion.
Another tip:Someonewho isaccustomed to runningadistanceofonlyoneortwomilesprobablywillnotsuddenlytrytorunamarathon.ItisthesamewithLatin.Don’tfrustrateyourselfbytryingtoreadLatinthatismuchtoodifficultfor you. In more advanced Latin, the sentences may be quite long andcomplicated.Also,theremaybewordsandgrammaticalstructuresthatyouhavenot studied yet. Of course, it is good to give yourself a challenge, but notsomethingsodifficultthatyouendupfeelingdiscouraged.
Please take a moment to reflect on all you have learned. Although you havecomealongwayfromLessonOne,thereisstillmuchtolearn.Ihopethisbookhasbeenenjoyableandprofitableforyou,andthatthethingsyouhavelearned
