Content

Along with the generous assistance of Irene La Preziosa, with whom I co-authored the Latin children's book Fabula Anatīna, we present the updated recording of Familia Romana Capitulum Primum IMPERIUM ROMANUM. The audio recording attached is in thanks to you for being such lovely supporters here on Patreon.

Irene and I intend to record a new version of the whole book. We are looking forward to sharing it with you. Grātiās summās.

The video will be published tomorrow.

EDIT FOR COMMENTARY:

In reflecting on this recording, I'm really content with the slight differences in our two pronunciations. For example, I render 'gn' as /ŋn/ and Irene as /gn/, both of which seem likely for Classical Pronunciation, as I discussed a recent polýMATHY video.

My 's's are generally retracted, and Irene's not, both of which are plausible for Classical Latin.

I tend to make the final -m nasal or blend with the following consonant more regularly, while it can sound more clearly /m/ in Irene's voice, though we both nearly always create a form of elision or synaloephe with the final -m. We also render that elision more blended or less, e.g. "Latīnum est" /la.tiː.nũst/ or /la.tiː.nũ̯est/. In both situations the "-um est" is but one syllable, which is the most important part. Likely both of these were current in native Latin voices, thus providing a range of possibilities from which one may choose for one's own speech.

NEW VERSION Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata Cap.1 Imperium Romanum | LLPSI FAMILIA ROMANA

The best way to learn Latin is with the book Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata: Familia Romana, which uses a continuous narrative, like a novel, to teach the Latin language through context alone. These recordings introduce the student to good pronunciation; however, one must purchase the book from Amazon in order to learn Latin with them. Purchase Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata: Familia Romana from Amazon at this link : https://amzn.to/3IHEOIW 📕 Irene La Preziosa, with whom I co-authored "Fabula Anatīna" (https://bit.ly/fabulaanatina ), has generously offered her beautiful Italian voice to this improved version of the recordings for LLPSI Familia Romana. She has our eternal thanks! Summās grātiās tibi agō, Pāx mea. 🕊️ The LLPSI series can also be purchased through regional distributors Vivarium Novum, Focus/Hackett Publishing, Cultura Clásica, Addisco, & NewSouth Books. The video does *not* include the important and necessary exercises, vocabulary lists, indices, or grammatical explanations (all of which are critical to make any use of the text) found in the complete book Familia Romana, which is by far the best instrument ever designed to teach the Latin language. The main purpose of this recording is to students understand correct pronunciation of Latin, and is intended for educational use only. The secondary purpose is to encourage others to purchase the books of the Lingua Latina series. 👨‍🏫 My Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata playlist · Free Latin Lessons: https://youtu.be/j7hd799IznU This recording is unique in that it preserves all long and short vowels and syllables, as well as the correct scansion and rhythm of the phrase, exactly as encountered in Ancient Roman poetry. It represents one of the most accurate interpretations of the pronunciation of Classical Latin (roughly 100 B.C. to 200 A.D.). When using these videos, pause after each phrase, and repeat after the recording. Try to emulate what you hear as exactly as possible: clearly pronounce the long and short vowels, the long and short syllables, and follow the rhythm and the melody of the phrase just like music. Note the elision or mixing of vowels between words, a vital part of the pronunciation of Latin and all the Romance languages. The result will be an exceedingly natural pronunciation that will permit you to understand intuitively the scansion of Latin poetry, and to speak Latin with native-style fluency.
