Returned to study Anc. History, #LinguaLatina, Anc. Greek, @HASSUQ. Anc. Greek in 2023. Whatever I do in life, I want Athena on my side. 📷: Plovdiv, Bulgaria

But I'm interested in any more specific strategies that have worked for the Twitter #classics community.

Question for #ClassicsTwitter & #LinguaLatina community:
Do you have any advice for retaining ancient languages when you're not actively learning or working with them?

(Background in 🧵, cross-posted from the elephant site.)

I have some general thoughts at this stage (LLPSI, periodically translating passages as we did in class, reading parallel texts together, etc.).

@AM_Christensen @ACRSN_org This one is cheaper, if you don't mind some Hellenism in your writing instrument.

Montblanc sells a 'Homage to Homer' fountain pen that 'takes its main inspiration from the story of the Trojan horse'. The 'overall shape' of the pen is inspired by the horse, and the engraving on the cap 'borrows motifs from traditional Greek black-figured pottery'. 1/4

I found this handsome cat trinket on the side of the road when I went out walking on the weekend. That means something auspicious for my Latin exam next week, doesn't it?

For example, I added classics people to my "Classics - all" list as I came across them. It's now about 1100 accounts, but I can't see the membership in the downloaded data, so I may need to manually copy the list.

Any #ClassicsTwitter people contemplating life after Twitter, remember you can download an archive of (most of) your twitter content. Many of you have put a lot of effort into your tweets over a long time, so it would be good to keep a copy not owned by one erratic person.

It's not perfect, and it doesn't appear to have lists of the accounts that I've added to each of the 30+ lists I've created.

@EggmeatGentle @GoingMedieval They've also had a massive influx from this site in the past week, so server admins have had a lot of work scaling things up. One Aus server has been down a few times lately for that reason.
