What is the point of a classics degree where you don't learn Greek and Latin I'm not even trying to be mean I just genuinely don't understand. Should I pursue a degree in English literature not knowing a word of it or even attempting to

[ComprehensibleLatin @ComprehensLatin]

If your Latin course does not lead to language acquisition, please re-title it to something more forthright, such as "Fun with Grammar by means of the Latin Language" or "AP spending 45 minutes looking up unfamiliar terms in a dictionary in order to build character".

[Dr Francis Young @DrFrancisYoung]

This is a very good point, and the reason of course is that most students who are taught Latin are in fact being taught *Classics* - and many Latin teachers are only able to conceptualise the teaching of Latin as part of Classics (whose telos is reading difficult Roman authors)

Language acquisition does not require extensive use of conscious grammatical rules and does not require tedious drill.

[Comenius Anglicus 🇬🇧🇺🇲 @ComeniusAng]

If they are bilingual or trilingual in several languages, the better… or at least with easy notes and explanations in Latin.

@LMSChairman Yes. We desperately need affordable new editions of Renaissance and Baroque humanists: Vives, Erasmus, Corderius, Comenius…

Vocabulary, vocabulary, vocabulary…

[Joseph Shaw @LMSChairman]

No-one says ‘the point of learning French is to read the Troubadours’ or ‘the point of learning English is to read the Metaphysical poets’. There is a vast canon of Latin literature: there is something for every level of difficulty and every taste. End/

[Joseph Shaw @LMSChairman]

It frustrates me that Latin teaching is so focused on difficult authors, being Virgil into even GCSE. It’s like assigning George Herbert to students doing English as a foreign language. 2/

I take the massive reaction to my tweet about Latin as a very positive sign that there are many, many people out there who care about it as a subject. Can I point new followers to the charities Via Facilis and Classics for All, which do a great job in promoting classics.

Nuff said!

I mean…

[KoineGreek.com @KoineGreekcom]

A nice ancient Greek idiom:

λελέχθω ‘let it have been said!'

to mean something like ...

‘that's enough about that’

Can you understand ACTUALLY SPOKEN Old English??

@WomackPhilip Latin can and must be taught by all means and methods available.
