translate or die: Can I has a do-over?

http://translateordie.blogspot.com/2007/12/can-i-has-do-over.html

A reluctant journey through a couple of ancient languages. Wednesday, December 12, 2007. Can I has a do-over? I'm bummed about this, but I've got to forget about it because I have Latin tomorrow. Here's to the end of a hopefully successful semester (passing is good, failing is bad). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Things you might like if you're learning Latin or Greek. Dale Grote is an invaluable resource - he also has a book! Other blogs you might like!

translate or die: Let's start again

http://translateordie.blogspot.com/2007/09/lets-start-again.html

A reluctant journey through a couple of ancient languages. Sunday, September 16, 2007. As for Greek, I really wish that pronunciation tapes were available. Ok, I haven't looked, maybe there are some out there. It would be helpful to hear the sounds over and over so that I get them. It's ok to say things out loud to myself, but if I'm saying it wrong in the first place, what does it help? In lighter, more entertaining news, someone on a Classics forum found these. September 19, 2007 at 11:08 PM. Well I re...

translate or die: Big old Saturday night! Yeah!

http://translateordie.blogspot.com/2007/09/big-old-saturday-night-yeah.html

A reluctant journey through a couple of ancient languages. Saturday, September 22, 2007. Big old Saturday night! Spending my Saturday night at home.likely doing Latin. Woo! The week ended out nicely - the new book was helpful to have, though I've not got any of my handy penciled-in notes in the new one. Maybe one day when I'm really bored I'll go about adding the more important ones in, but for now I'll just keep both books at hand. So guess what happened to me on Friday? And I got the chance to chat aft...

translate or die: Latin time...not nearly as fun as Hammer Time

http://translateordie.blogspot.com/2007/12/latin-timenot-nearly-as-fun-as-hammer.html

A reluctant journey through a couple of ancient languages. Thursday, December 13, 2007. Latin time.not nearly as fun as Hammer Time. Today is Latin. Then I'm done. I'm going to stick with the plan and stay as long as necessary - the full three hours if that's what's required. I'll go slowly, think it all through and hope for the best. When I'm done I'll come home, curl up on the couch and nap. And forget this week ever happened. ha ha. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

translate or die: That explains a lot!

http://translateordie.blogspot.com/2007/09/that-explains-lot.html

A reluctant journey through a couple of ancient languages. Wednesday, September 19, 2007. That explains a lot! I'm using THE WRONG TEXT BOOK! That's right.Wheelock cleverly avoided a 7th edition by releasing a REVISED 6th edition! So my meagre unrevised 6th edition doesn't hold up anymore. Tricksy Wheelock. It certainly helps to explain why so many of the sentences we're covering in class are different from what I have as answers! Time to trot out another $30 for this ugly demon.

translate or die: Readership down

http://translateordie.blogspot.com/2007/10/readership-down.html

A reluctant journey through a couple of ancient languages. Sunday, October 28, 2007. Hmm, direct correlation between frequency of blog entries and readership? I spent all of last week catching up on Greek and getting ready for my Latin exam. I felt awful about my Greek quiz on Friday - it was right before my Latin midterm and I really didn't give it any study time given how frantic I was about Latin. I started using a totally awesome resource from UVIC to help me study: this. October 28, 2007 at 7:17 PM.

translate or die: Classroom observations

http://translateordie.blogspot.com/2007/09/classroom-observations.html

A reluctant journey through a couple of ancient languages. Friday, September 14, 2007. While I'm discussing offensive habits, I might as well make two other observations. No one, cares about your input on every topic discussed - this is not a class for discussion like your philosophy classes (yes, we've heard about them already! We are here to learn and, truth be told, the professor would like to teach, but your interjections make this hard.and you are clearly becoming bothersome. View my complete profile.

translate or die: A little of this, a little of that

http://translateordie.blogspot.com/2007/09/little-of-this-little-of-that.html

A reluctant journey through a couple of ancient languages. Tuesday, September 18, 2007. A little of this, a little of that. What I can't quite understand about these classmates of mine, is why they spend so much time fighting with the professor over things they're not likely to have an impact upon.say, oh, the way the professor chooses to mark! If she is used to marking in that manner, live with it and stop looking for ways to improve your odds at a better mark through less work. So to recap where I'm at.

translate or die: Slaying the Greek beast!

http://translateordie.blogspot.com/2007/10/slaying-greek-beast.html

A reluctant journey through a couple of ancient languages. Thursday, October 4, 2007. Slaying the Greek beast! Here's hoping I did well, but I likely won't find out until next week - I can't imagine he'll have marked all the tests by tomorrow! I'm proud of myself for nailing this. I feel very on top of my Greek game and that's a huge relief. I know it won't be a perfect test, but I hope it's not too far off! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.
