I’ve seen that programme, though, it has a horrible user interface and I personally spend so much time at my computer that some time off with a book and a pen cannot be hurting me in any way, hehe (and as a rule I never ever bring my macbook with me to bed when I’m, about to sleep — but books are not included in that rule!)! I’m also planning to listen to the audio whilst being out walking or doing borung and monotone chores like doing the dishes or tidying up :). But thanks for the tip :). 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I listen to the audio when I have trouble getting to sleep. Works every time. (Although you may annoy the rest of the household and be murdered in your sleep.) 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Today I did not have any time to do any bookish studying, however, I’ve got a new haircut and spent the entire day
at the mall with my mother. My new haircut rocks! I’ve started Anki again for the first time in a long while, trying to recover the words I might have forgotten since I last used it to cram the LL-words last fall. I’m not going to let it give me new words untill I know the ‹forgotten› ones again. The third declension is very sneaky and unpredictable. Discedere, dicesisse, aspicere, aspicisse, currere, cucurisse (whut?), parere, peperisse (whut? reduplication!), videre, vidisse (huh, same stem?), visum (supine)… The more obscure ones stick easier than the not regular, not irregular s-isch forms. vehere, vexisse, vectum <— sticky one! Regere, rexi, rectum <— even stickier because of ‹rectum› and I’ve got childish humor. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Sadly, I had (been socializing) no time today for any study — though I did other things. Might try that listening
before sleeping (and during the night so I’ll wake up to Latin) though I’m afraid it might become more mentally ill than I’m already am, hehe. I will have a long car ride tomorrow (one hour to Uppsala, one hour back to Stockholm) so I might read a bit in the car. Valete amici mei! 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I did read a bit during the ride today, though, nothing more. Hopefully I’ll be able to squeeze in something
tomorrow! 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Yea, pro tip: do not get mental health issues, because, they will interfere with language learning… I will try to get
my inner focus back and tackle some exercises but this week is so full of stuff to do. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Good to see you're still continuing. May I ask about the textbook you've been using? The LL per se Illustrata. I've heard it is great as it is in Latin only. Is it that good? Can you read some simple literature right after finishing it? (I recently thought of continuing learning latin even after my exams).
Thanks, made me laugh. Grammar in the Medical latin course requires much more than the genitive case (at least here, don't know about Sweden). There are the declentions of substantives (easy, but I still get lost when it comes to the third one), adjectives, basics of verbs (conjugations in present indicative and subjunctive, imperative and participles) and some basic sentence creating. That wouldn't be that bad but there are as well quite many words from greek, which require special declentions (but fortunately we are not expected to read greek at the exam). You know, it's not that there is too much of it, I just believe that one year (actually less than a full year) is not enough to trully learn it and use it not only for passive comprehension. And some parts of the grammar are nearly useless for us. But Latin by itself is a nice language. It's perfectly logical and has quite few exceptions, which I like. Good luck in your further studies, I'm looking forward to reading about your progress. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Dead languages are awesome! I cannot wait to hear how your studies in Akkadian and Assyrialogy go. Keep up the good work
