cathy_90 english to latin

Cathy, my friend, this would not be a homework assignment would it?

no im doing it on my own. i wonted to learn it myself cause my school dosent teach it.

Some of these sentence contain words referring to school and popular
culture that don't correspond to the times in which Latin was spoken. In those cases we'll just adapt Latin as best we can.

recruit, so we're adapting a military term to High school.)

Musicam genereris "rock", "punk" et "rap" (aliquantum, non valde) amo.
(I don't know any way to render those names except by leaving them in
English and quoting them.)

My favorite music is metal and Rock.
Genera musicae gratiosa "metal" et "rock" sunt.

I hope you enjoy learning a bit of Latin, Cathy. Good luck.

thank you for helping me with sum latin. If you dont mind can you anserwer somemore questions for me pls.
Why dos the latin language have the beggening of the sentense at the end when it is writen in latin
ex. femina sum ( i am a freshman).
and do you know where i can go on the internet to find the basics on how to speak latin. And where to go to learn more?

In Latin, the usual word order is to put the verb last. This Wikipedia
article has a pretty good explanation.

I think the best way to learn it is by taking a beginner course in the
classroom, but that may not be available to you. Googling "beginner
Latin course" gets a lot of responses. I do not know which of them are
any good, but it can't hurt to poke around until you find one you like.

Good luck!

i googled beginner classes and i copuldent find anything that could help me? In order for me to learn latin I have to understand the way its writen and its vocabulary. But to find out theres no basic vocabulary for latin.

If theres no basic vocabulary for latin then how did they make sence of this language? Meaning how did latin people learn and understand this language if thiers no basic vocabulary to it?
