This recording is unique in that it preserves all long and short vowels and syllables, as well as the correct scansion and rhythm of the phrase, exactly as encountered in Ancient Roman poetry. It represents one of the most accurate interpretations of the pronunciation of Classical Latin (roughly 100 B.C. to 200 A.D.).
When using these videos, pause after each phrase, and repeat after the recording. Try to emulate what you hear as exactly as possible: clearly pronounce the long and short vowels, the long and short syllables, and follow the rhythm and the melody of the phrase just like music. Note the elision or mixing of vowels between words, a vital part of the pronunciation of Latin and all the Romance languages. The result will be an exceedingly natural pronunciation that will permit you to understand intuitively the scansion of Latin poetry, and to speak Latin with native-style fluency.

@stefanomartello3786 10 ай бұрын

As an italian who have never studied latin at school this is 98% understandable at the point where it just makes sense without even thinking about the fact that it's basically another language. I had the same feeling reading texts in interlingua. It's just so easy to get the meaning of what you read that it doesn't seem a different language at all. It's almost like hearing someone that knows the grammatical structure but has no proper vocaboulary to express it (which is exactly the opposite if we think that italian is the one derived from latin) but anyway way more undersandable than what I tought at first (maybe thanks to your job of choosing phrases specifically intended to be easy to grasp for a beginner) and fun to read and hear nonetheless (even if I'm used more to hear quotations and stuff like that with the "italianised" pronunciation of Ecclesiastical Latin, which since it had been the standard for more than 1500 years I do believe is a fair approach to the language too, especially since it's easier for us to pronounce and a natural evolution of the original Latin.

@Brandon55638 4 ай бұрын

I agree, but I don't think that the Ecclesiastical pronunciation would sound natural unless it also has the qualities that constitute Classical Latin, like distinct phonemic vowel lengths, nasal vowels (-am, -em, -im and -um for example) and elisions. The nature and grammar of Latin is based on phonemic vowel length. Also, if you want the words to be understood, you don't have to fully elide final vowels before initial vowels, but you can do it halfway, just like a Spanish speaker or Italian would normally do when they speak their native languages.

@stefanomartello3786 4 ай бұрын

@@Brandon55638 But it indeed sounds natural because you do pronounce it as you would pronounce italian. Trust me, whenever we hear latin spoken with the Ecclesiastical proninciation (which is the one used in churches, by the Vatican and taught at school) we 100% understand the words and it absolutely sounds natural to us. This might be an issue of non-neolatin speaking countries (which are able to make italian sound unnatural too when speaking it oftentimes, especially if you come from a germanic language or other too phonetically different forms of speech) but it wouldn't have been modified the way it is today if it didn't sound natural to the italian speakers.

@stefanomartello3786 4 ай бұрын

@@Brandon55638 Also, the ecclesiastical pronunciation doesn't change that much from the original one as you say, maybe you lose nasalization in a couple of words here and there (but almost never) and the biggest difference is that you don't always pronounce the a in the æ sound depending on the word (and I assure you that those diphthongs are superfuous since in italian we do not have them at all, the whole thing is replaced by open and close "e " sound, which may be confusing for a non-native speaker but for us "e" already has two clearly different sounds) and aside of that "ci" is pronounced like in italian, with a soft c [t͡ʃ] (like in english you would pronounce "chi" in the name of the mexican state of Chihuahua), instead of "ki", but ecclesiastical latin is the natural evolution of latin pronunciation in Italy, it wasn't coded like the "classical" one, therefore it sounds way better and absolutely more natural than the other version to italians. The optimal example is "Graecia" which contains both things; in one case is pronounced [ˈɡräe̯kiä] and in the other [ˈɡrɛːt͡ʃiä]. As you can see the main difference is that, and to know that it was "ae" you get a prolonged open "e" as a result. Almost everything else is the same.

@rodrigodiaz7167 2 ай бұрын

well yeah, even a german would understand it since they are using indicative sentences and extremelly short btw

@Brandon55638 2 ай бұрын

@@stefanomartello3786I understand what you're talking about because I sometimes use the Ecclesiastical pronunciation. All I was saying is, Latin has natively long and short vowels because it's a mora-timed language unlike Italian, which is a stress-timed language. This is also why the Latin idioms in ancient Roman literature are different from the idioms of most Romance languages. It's very important to know and understand where the long vowels are in order to fully understand Latin conversational idioms (as in the Cōnfābulātiōnēs Tīrōrum Litterāriōrum, for example) regardless of which pronunciation you are using because the cases and conjugations are determined by vowel length.

I can't tell you how much i appreciate this! Even as a beginner I can hear when I compare the old videos with the newer ones that your pronunciation has changed. It's more consistent and feel more natural now, and I also think you've changed the quality of some sounds a bit. I've been thinking it would be great if you made new versions of at least the first of the LLPSI-videos, but I didn't think that would actually happen, as I understand there is a lot of work behind it. I feel it's easier to "understand" the differens between long and short vowels in this more fluent reading. And though I love your voice, as a woman i think it's helpful to get a female voice to. So a big thanks to the both of you!

Back in the days, when I had to study Latin in school. I used to hate it. But in 2020, after having gotten acquainted with Spanish, French and Portuguese, I discovered an interest in Latin. To see where it all comes from, to connect the threads and similarities. All of a sudden, I felt so pulled into this topic. I started doing lessons on Duolingo and loved it. Then, in January of 2021 I decided to try out 'Lingua latina per se illustrata' because the Latin tree on Duolingo is so short and I was thirsty for more and I really loved the idea of learning Latin in Latin only. And voilà! It was so invigorating! At the same time I got to know this guy's channel here on KZfaq. Now, a year later I go through this playlist based on that book and it gives me so much joy. I want to thank you for this amazing content. And may I suggest, why not make it a Podcast or a podcast in general on Spotify? Reading and doing exercises is one thing but hearing it is another. I'd listen to it, for sure!

I went through the first eight chapters a while back but admittedly became frustrated when, after having more or less breezed through chapters I-VII, I hit the wall that is Cap. VIII. But I'm eager to try again thanks to a Percy Jackson-induced interest in mythology, and the new recordings are absolutely fantastic. Greatly looking forward to hearing more of them!

The feminine voice is amazing and a wonderful addition; I believe increasing the input volume by 10-15% when she records would draw a more equalized sound parity, or mastering it a tool/equalizer. What’s awesome for learners is that the current reading speed helps MASSIVELY with understanding the stops/pacing, pronunciation, and tempo of speaking. 1.25x in the player brings the speed up a moderate and adaptable amount that still sounds natural to me after hearing it for a bit. This is solid brain food.

Wow, I learned French for two years in school and absolutely hated it because of the teaching method they had, but still some things I can remember. But this method is so easy and understandable. Cap. I I can fully comprehend just by listening to it. Lots of words are relatable even from German(my first language). I can not find to many similarities to Afrikaans(my second language) but many to English(my third) I ordered Lingua Latina pars I today, can’t wait to start studying. Thanks so much for putting this video online, I really appreciate it! Without I would not have ordered Lingua Latina per se Illustata Pars I

It's not the same as U, but rather like a french U or a German/Turkish ü. Basically it's an /i/ sound pronounced with the lips rounded.

@@Glossologia I have been practicing it with the French sounds like you mentioned. However, my Latint teacher mentioned it's ok to pronounce it as an "ee" (English sound) due to some people not supporting the erasmian system. Thoughts?

@Glossologia Жыл бұрын

@@anakinvader9120 It has nothing to do with Erasmian - it's well established by the available evidence that the letter υ in Greek wasn't pronounced like /i/ by most speakers until about a thousand years ago. In some dialects of Greek it never was pronounced the same as /i/, including one dialect where the original ü sound was preserves until the 1950's or so (now this dialect is gone but we have recordings). That said, there's nothing wrong with pronouncing it /i/ in Latin, since it's a borrowed sound from Greek that most speakers would not have been able to pronounce.

I agree! I find Irene’s voice to be extremely beautiful (I am of course biased, but I really love it). And more than that, her command of the most important aspects of Latin phonology, like phonemic vowel length, make her such a wonderful example to emulate; plus she is a native Italian speaker, thus she provides a naturalness that I can only dream of imitating. Thanks for listening.

Oh cool, a new version, just about at the same time I'm finally beginning to learn Latin! A second, female voice is a great addition, and the more "correct" classical pronunciation (I'm thinking of the vowel qualities in particular) is nice and less confusing to hear ;) If I may give some suggestions/advices, since I'm a bit familiar with working with sounds: it would be a good thing to do some more mixing/mastering. For instance, Irene's voice should be louder, as the difference in volume between her voice and yours I find a bit too distracting. I also thought her P's were a bit more thumpy than yours (at 4:24), but IDK if it's because of the way she articulates of it's a technical problem (no pop filter or compression/EQ). Also, for potential future recordings, I noticed in the 16th capitulum (Tempestās) your voice was really overpowered at times by the sound effects. To a certain extent it was a good thing as getting overpowered by the storm was quite à propos, but it shouldn't be to the point that you become unintelligible. Aside from audio engineering, another thing that I thought while listening to your readings, is that at times you spoke a little too slowly. I understand why you did it, but I think a little faster would still be beginner-friendly as well as more natural and less time-consuming to listen to (I tried setting the playback speed to 1.5 but it didn't sound good at all). Actually I thought the reading speed was pretty good in this video, so keep it up! Sorry for giving unprompted suggestions, and of course not everybody would agree with them or even notice some of the things I said, but I figured why not give you my opinion anyway!

@ScorpioMartianus 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the suggestions! Yes, Irene and I were aware of the contrast while we recorded this. We used the same microphone in fact, and usually she was a bit closer. We believe the difference is just the years of experience I have in projecting my voice into the microphone, whereas Irene has done only a little recording hitherto. Nevertheless I find her voice to be exceedingly beautiful, and her pronunciation is immaculate, thus I hope it will serve well those listening. We expect to resolve these matters in future recordings. Thanks for the feedback.

@Kurisuto321 2 жыл бұрын

@@ScorpioMartianus A lovely voice and pronunciation she has indeed :) And as an added bonus the female characters will have a slightly more feminine voice than they used to lol Ah yes experience certainly is a major factor, but you said you were recording on the same mic: both voices recorded at the same time? If so, while convenient in terms of recording, it's a suboptimal way to go about it in terms of audio processing. For instance, male and female voices are usually not EQd and compressed the same way. And then there's the loudness/closeness problem: most mic types sound best at a certain distance and angle from the speaker, and the various speakers/singers can need different amounts of input gain for instance. Anyway, I'm sure you will find a way to make it work, and I look forward to hearing you next pieces!

@@Kurisuto321 Perhaps if we recorded in separate tracks in Garage Band. Do you think the Male/Female presets would be sufficient? What settings would you recommend we try? And yes, same mic recorded at the same time (Rode Podcaster)

@Kurisuto321 2 жыл бұрын

@@ScorpioMartianus Yup separate tracks is the way to go. Before recording each speaker separately, you have to set the input gain right; you might know how to do it, but basically: the higher *without peaking* the better. For instance, you might want to set the gain rather high, try speaking as loud as the loudest line of dialogue might require you to speak, lower the gain until you can't see any sign of peaking in Garageband, then lower it a little more to get some headroom. As for the settings, they can vary wildly depending on a lot of factors, but I think for this kind of use (non-musical) presets are usually just fine. If possible, you should choose them from the same preset subcategory (e.g. for spoken voice etc) so that the two processed tracks don't sound too different, which can happen e.g. if one of the presets you use has way more compression than the other. Listen to the tracks separately (to see if there's no audio glitches or clipping, or if it has too unnatural of a sound), then adjust their respective levels so that they sound good together. Finally, it's usually a good thing to apply some processing to the master track, to further homogenize things, using for instance some light compression (light, because at this point you're supposed to already have a layer of compression on both tracks separately). It's very easy to mess a recording by using too many/much effects. The final result should sound natural and relatively close to the original audio files. Hope it helps!
