Day 3
I think I'm getting better at using my 30 minutes productively which is a good thing. Today I went over the indicative forms of -āre verbs in the passive, then I went over the vowels. Next I used my latin course (versus my grammar) to reinforce my work on declension. Today I focused on the first declension of adjectives - keeping everything in the nominative case for my reinforcement activities.
I think I'm making good progress. I'm not spending much time revising as I'm not at this stage having problems memorizing.
LilleOSC: I'm looking for audio resources but not having much luck :(
So I can say some simple easy sentences now like:
The holy book is big - sacer liber est magnus
Rome is a city - Rōma est urbs
The evil spirit is here - malus spīritus est hīc
The big city is good - magna urbs est bona

you're translating ALL OF THE LATIN like it's English - that word order is wrong.
