AP Latin Caesar texts

Please go to the Latinum Website, at

  Latinum.org.uk

Latinum has created a suite of Caesar material  that covers almost all of the
required ground for Caesar for AP. The audio materials make it easy for a student
to revise the text over and over again - it is easier to listen to a
text multiple times, than to re-read it multiple times in the book.
The Latin-English-Latin literal translations make dictionary work
unnecessary, as the student first approaches the text with the literal
translation, before studying it intensively in Latin only, until it is
familiar.
AP Caesar requirements are:
Caesar, Gallic War
Book 1: Chapters 1-7
Book 4: Chapters 24-35 and the first sentence of Chapter 36 
            (Eodem die legati . . . venerunt.)
Book 5: Chapters 24-48
Book 6: Chapters 13-20


http://latinum.org.uk

around themes in Caesar covered in the AP syllabus - can provide some
light relief.

Adler's Practical Grammar for Independent Learners - 

A Language Immersion Course.

Adler's textbook is possibly the most complete Latin Course ever written.  This audio presentation, originally produced by Latinum for the Latinum Podcast,  turns Adler into an immersion experience. It is unique, in focusing on learning the entire structure of Latin grammar through conversation. With over  200 hours of audio, it is the most comprehensive Latin course of its type in existence, and is excellent value for money. read a review more;

Each of the 97 lessons is in 3 parts:

1. Grammar and syntax with extensive paradigms added to the text. The grammar is very detailed, with large numbers of additional paradigms and useful memory clues. Vocabulary is presented in advance of every lesson.

2. Model question-answer conversations in Latin-English-Latin. Here you consolidate your vocabulary, and learn the grammatical structures in use.

3. Slow repetition and fast repetition of the conversational material in Latin only,for review. Once you have mastered section C of any lesson, it is time to move to the next lesson

Swallowing the Dictionary

In 2009, for my own use, I made a recording of Ripman's nomenclature - the recording isn't perfect, and contains a number of errors - some slips of the eye while reading,other just a result of tiredness, as the task of recording took a month of daily sessions, recording the material in Latin-English. Despite the problems with this recording,it still has great utility for a student, and I offer a copy of it as a download on Latinum. I still listen to this recording myself around once a month, to reinforce and expand my vocabulary.

I want to re-record the book, more accurately, and this time in Latin-English-Latin, giving a dual repetition of each phrase. This will take longer, but will increase the utility of the material. Ideally, I would like to memorise the entire contents of this text.

Schola

Schola was founded on 28 January 2008. Today, January 4,  2012, we have just passed the 2,000 member mark.

Schola marks something new in the world - the first time since the renaissance where a functioning  international community of people who use Latin to communicate, has been established, a place where Latin conversations take place every day, either in text, by video, or otherwise.

 Much of the activity takes place away from Schola, on Skype,  and elsewhere - Schola is simply the nexus, the directory.

I have taken a more backseat approach to Schola over the past year, to watch and give other personalities the chance to emerge. It was never a good thing for the site to be too closely identified with one person - now we have 2000 plus member, this is less of an issue.

Schola is paid for with donations from members, and also subsidised from sales of DVDs of Latin I produce -  we pay Ning an annual rental for the site - around $200.
