edeemarie Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Ok, this may sound crazy, but we are doing a Latin book that uses Classical pronunciations and I am not sure I like it. It is the "w" sound for the "v" that is throwing me off. I just sounds to me like my kids aren't speaking properly- and all I can think it when they get to the infamous phrase "veni, vidi, vici" they will be saying "weni, widi, wici"! Is it just me- have I heard it too much in the Ecclesiastical pronunciation? So which pronunciation do you teach your children? Can you teach them both, or combine the two, without confusing them as Latin gets more advanced? I just can't get these "w" sounds out of my head!:tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathryn Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 We'll be doing classical, though I'll make them aware of ecclesiastical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffeetime Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I much prefer ecclesiastical for the same reasons. I think it's prettier spoken and it is just easier for me to teach. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommy22alyns Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 OP, that is precisely why I chose Ecclesiastical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edeemarie Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 Is it possible to make SSL Ecclesiastical? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommy22alyns Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Absolutely! They have one set of tracks for Classical and one set for Ecclesiastical. We use the E tracks. There are occasional slipups in pronunciation (the one we're on now has them saying "wer" even in the E tracks) but for the most part it's fine.

edeemarie Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 Thanks so much! I guess if I would have just looked at the CD I would have seen that -oops! Problem solved:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
