LATIN PRONUNCIATION PRACTICE

After studying Wheelock’s discussion of the alphabet, syllabification, and accentuation (pp. 49-56 in

the iBook edition; Loc. 717-866 in the Amazon Kindle edition; and pp. xxxv-xl in the hard copy edition), AND listening to the INTRODUCTION on the AUDIO FILES page at

www.wheelockslatin.com, try 1) syllabifying, 2) underlining the long syllables, and then 3) accenting each of the first several words on this list, using the blank spaces provided

(e.g., dis/cí/pu/lō, ka/lén/dae); then go through the list and practice pronouncing ALL the words; finally, bring this handout to class tomorrow, and we'll go over it.
