Pronunciation is all over the place with Latin, because it is a dead language. When it was spoken, "v" was pronounced like a "w," and all "C"s were hard. Vowels were only pronounced one way - AEIOU was ahh, eee, iiii, oohhh, ooooo.

"Vini, Vidi, Vici" is not "vinnie, viddie, veechie," it is "weeny, widdie, wickie" which sounds funny to us.

The ending of the verb is the pronoun, so all verbs have a conjugation

Don't quote me on these, but this is the basic idea:

ambulo I walk
ambules you walk
ambulet he walks
ambulemus we walk
ambuletis you (plural) walk
ambulent they walk

the ending "ere" mean "to," so ambulere is "to walk"

Now you memorize vocabulary and conjugate verbs. Like English, many Latin words are an exception to the general rules.

learn only the languages you know or feel you'll be needing in later life - professionally or personally (living or spending a lot of time there)
since you're probably from us, i'd say spanish (frequently used in us) and french (canada).
that's about it. potentially german, however it depends on your field of study/ work.

you don't need anything else, yet alone latin. even thouht it's claimed to be the mother of the languages, you'll find it useful just about only (or the most) if you decide to learn italian or spanish. ;) or if you plan on becoming a priest, move to vatican and do research on church history (most of their notes and books are in latin)
you probably won't get payed more for knowing xx languages (if you don't need them), but you'll literally waste a lot of money on a dead language.
which you won't use anyway and will forget it in a couple of years.


an alternative would be (if you really want to learn an exotic language) arabic. ;) go work at the cia.
or learn the language of a country you go on vacations a lot.

@(what) Caesar (said):

That's why I'm curious why he wants to learn it. Maybe he's interested in a field where being able to read latin would help or maybe he just wants to do it because he feels its interesting.

But I have to completely agree..in school they always said the point of studying latin was, that it works as a base for other languages to learn, b/c so many languages were derived from it and all that stuff.

But PLEASE unless you plan on studying more than 2 or 3 languages this is complete bull****..I mean anyone who's learned a foreign language before knows it takes quite some time to master it...and why waste time on studying latin, if you only end up learning 2 or 3 other languages...you'd be able to speak one of those 2 or 3 other languages already if u started right away with them instead of focussing on latin, because it serves as a base....and in fact 90% of all the people who had to take that stuff in school (I didnt ;)) will only learn to speak english and some broken spanish or french (if at all...)..I really can't see how people can justify teaching latin in schools because of that...

Plus, I don't really know how useful knowing latin really is if you want to learn another foreign language, but obviously knowing spanish or portuguese or italian or french...helps learn the other more quickly also...this whole latin in schools stuff b/c it helps learn other languages is really one of the most ridiculous things I know of (and used to hear in my school days all the time).

But like I said, if somebody wants to learn latin b/c of being interested in latin itself, I don't see anything wrong with it...

If you want to take up an exotic foreign language, usually chinese or japanese should be more valuable than arabic (though I think you should just learn whatever language you really want to learn, b/c you like the country in which that language is spoken....there's no need to do whatever you do just b/c you hope it'll help your future career...)
 

Just because a woman listens to you and acts interested in what you say doesn't mean she really is. She might just be acting polite, while silently wishing that the date would hurry up and end, or that you would go away... and never come back.

Bible_Belt: Ah, the 'V' being pronounced as 'W' clarifies much. Are there are other pronounciation differences? What do you mean by a "hard" C?

Madgame, Caesar20: It's personal interest really, but I appreciate the advice on languages and relevancy. I fully agree and I'm sure those tips will come in handy when I'm ready to pick up a work language.

By hard 'c,' I mean not an "s" sound, like the way that we pronounce "caeser" as SEE-ser. The Latin pronunciation of "Caeser" was "KAI-ser" like "Kaiser Roll."
