ThreeBlessings Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 We're using Song School Latin and enjoying it. On the song CD it sounds like they pronounce the words salve and vale with the v sounding like a w. Is this correct or are my children and I hearing it wrong?

That's correct for classical pronunciation. The Ecclesiastical pronunciation would pronounce the v as v. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeBlessings Posted September 16, 2010 Author Share Posted September 16, 2010 Thanks! :) I wanted to be sure before proceeding further. I feel a little silly asking, lol, but wanted to be correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staceyshoe Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 The same songs are on the CD twice. Tracks 1-30 are using classical pronunciation. Tracks 31-60 have the same songs with Ecclesiastical pronunciation. We started out listening to track 1 until I figured out that we needed to skip ahead to track 31 for Ecclesiastical.

Satori Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Yep, we just started this. The 'w' sounds like a 'v' in the classical pronunciation. There is no 'w' in the Latin alphabet. My daughter is so excited to be learning Latin, we love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
