It’s called trying to be charitable, look for faults in my own writing first, and clear up the issue instead of seething like a retard, because I actually was serious about my questions, so I tried to soften and coddle my tone as much as possible to get my point across without making you seethe and shit up the thread more.
>>
Tone policing on /lit/ of all places is still just conceding the actual argument anyways and complaining someone less proficient in Latin than you didn’t give you a handjob in exchange for you deigning to grace them with your oh-so-superior derision. Done posting on this topic since you already switched off the main issue.

>>24697388
They're trolls. Or maybe just a single one.

If they start out with the bait, people sometimes realize what they're up to and won't engage.
By asking an innocuous question first, they rope people in, and only once they're invested in the conversation, they start with the trolling proper.

>Nolumus autem vos ignorare fratres de dormientibus, ut non contristemini sicut et ceteri, qui spem non habent. Si enim credimus quod Jesus mortuus est, et resurrexit : ita et Deus eos qui dormierunt per Jesum, adducet cum eo. Hoc enim vobis dicimus in verbo Domini, quia nos, qui vivimus, qui residui sumus in adventum Domini, non praeveniemus eos qui dormierunt. Quoniam ipse Dominus in jussu, et in voce archangeli, et in tuba Dei descendet de caelo : et mortui, qui in Christo sunt, resurgent primi. Deinde nos, qui vivimus, qui relinquimur, simul rapiemur cum illis in nubibus obviam Christo in aera, et sic semper cum Domino erimus. Itaque consolamini invicem in verbis istis.
Enjoyed this roll.

As Dr. Taylor Jones discussed recently on his YouTube channel, songs can be a good way to learn languages, because a melody really helps with making words stick in your head. So, /clg/, what are your favorite songs in the languages you're studying? Here are a couple of my favorites in Classical Chinese:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oP7YQ9WyznQ
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCREDfUEd3Y
(The first one is even pronounced in Hokkien, which is thought to sound closer than Mandarin to the Middle Chinese the poet would have spoken.)
Here's probably my favorite song in Ancient (well, more Koine I guess) Greek:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-3h9TQ312c
Finally, I'm not studying Sanskrit but this father-daughter team has done Sanskrit versions of a couple of Western pop songs, which I think is a fun sort of gimmick:

For Latin, typically I try to memorize psalms, or poetry since I can chant it in meter. Similarly, noting especially the tones keeps a consistent flow for Tang poetry which is the extent of my engagement with Classical Chinese, which I just read with Mandarin readings.

I'm considering using Eutropius as my introduction to native classical content since the subject matter is primarily classical, and the style looks like I can already comprehend much of it. Any thoughts on Eutropius?
>>
>>24699315
good choice, he's often among the beginner friendly choices like Caesar and Nepos

Does anyone know of a competent recording of Egyptological pronunciation? Specifically its varieties of h?
Youtube is overrun by slop, and the few genuine people there suck at speaking their native language, not to mention Egyptian.

People who complain about Ranieri have no idea how lucky they are.

Will we ever found what the fuck went on during initiation in the Eleusinian Mysteries?

Probably not
Burkert's Greek Religion contains the closest approximation we are likely to get

What does he say about it?

probably not because they took their oaths seriously. you may catch a wink or two obliquely thobeit in lit

It involves some sort of secret information being divulged along with specialized libations and such. Read the section, it's short
>>
>>24699826
/lang/ is too fast(not always but often), it's cozier here and also rather fitting since it's basically the study of literary languages

>>24699834
How could such a ritual thats supposedly powerful even reemerge and be authentic?

Not sure why an image of a Latin-text reading list of Late Roman-Medieval texts would get taken down, so I am going to assume something screwed up with the site or the jannies made a mistake. I figure I'll just touch up a mistake I had made on the original image.
>>
Are there any recommended resources for Hellenistic Greek? Is Attic my best bet? I specifically want to read the Argonautica.
>>
>>24700818
the Argonautica is written in Homeric, so the periodization here helps you little
>>
>>24700793
hope jannies aren't retarded enough to think it's some generic dubs getter, people aren't spamming it

>>24700833
Excellent, thank you very much.
>>
>>24700987
this is the thing in general btw, the whole Koine period Greek thing can be a misnomer because someone technically falling in that period could be writing either in a very Atticizing way or, as in this particular example, with the Homeric literary dialect
the general best bet is Attic, it's kinda in the middle if you will, though one can even start from Homeric, some anons ITT did so with Pharr's, can't vouch personally but apparently it's good
>>
>>24699826
i post in latin on /lang/ whenever i feel the mood. what would collabing even entail? i feel like the massive walls of text posted in /clg/ would cause most /lang/er's eyes to gloss over. i know mine do whenever i browse this general
