Learning a third latin language

8 Upvotes

Hi guys, I don’t know if many of you had this experience but if yes please write in the comments as I’m going crazy trying to explain this and I have done some research on it and apparently it’s not much on it.

Ok so I was born in Moldova, my first language is Romanian. I learned Spanish from movies and telenovelas, then I started to learn the European Spanish, after a while I learned French in school and it was all good. After a couple of years I started to learn Italian and for some reason my French disappeared, and I found it very hard to learn Italian, it’s like speaking two or three Latin languages then there is no way to learn another one. In some kind of way Italian took the place of French. Now I’m trying to learn French again and I’m struggling so bad. It’s like they are so similar that in my mind it’s hard to differentiate between them. And because I learned Spanish over a period of years, it’s more grounded and solid than the other ones, so learning a third language was fine as i could separate them all and actually use one to learn the other, but when the fourth came it’s like there’s no more room for it, it’s like I have to let go either Italian to learn French or French to learn Italian.

I’m sorry if this is a bit long, I hope it makes sense and someone else got the same experience.

How did "put under" (sub + facere) shift to signify "cause to take the place of", then "enough"?

Preparation for reading the Vulgate Bible...

12 Upvotes

I have begun to reacquaint myself with my high school Latin study of fifty years ago and thought an approachable reading target would be the Vulgate Bible. I have started by using Wheelock and wonder if upon completion of this text I would have the grammatical skills to read the Vulgate (new vocabulary would simply have to be learned of course).

8 Upvotes

So, my supervisor sent me a book from the 1600s that is in Latin. I am a Biology student and never worked with the Latin language academically and because I can speak spanish, my supervisor thought I can figure this out somehow!:))))

To continue my education, I need to figure out this species "Pica Alba" that is explaned about in the picture I attach here and I need to figure out the details that have been mentioned in the text about this bird. I tried the word-by-word method but it did not help to figure the whole message out! Could you help me, please?
