Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book, a practical guide to Latin pronunciation, sets out to teach readers the nuances of the language by focusing on syllabic length and pitch. It assists students in developing a rhythmic pronunciation through exercises and examples, and in doing so highlights the ways in which Latin pronunciation differs from its English counterpart. The author posits that the pronunciation of Latin taught in classrooms today is largely incorrect. They reason that by disregarding its inherent musicalityâ"as exemplified by Ciceroâ"Latin is reduced to mere gibberish. To remedy this, the author not only goes into great detail about the correct sounds and letter combinations but also provides a methodology for practicing them. This book is an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to enhance their understanding and pronunciation of Latin.
