Hebdomas Prima - Week I

27 August 2018

Lets get started with a short conversation.

Salutationes – Greetings

Surge!  stand up.

Salve.  Quid nomen est tibi?  Hi.  What is your name?

Nomen est mihi __________ (your name)  My name is _________.

Quid tibi placet facere? What do you like to do?

Mihi placet ____________    I like to _______________ (English)

Gratias ago. Thank you

Libenter.  You are welcome.

Consīde, quaeso.  Sit down, please.

Now with a partner practice the conversation.  Learn what s/he likes to do.

After you say "salve" you might want to ask "quid agis" or "ut vales," which both mean how are you?

Here are some things you can respond.  Valeo...

Copy these words and images to put in your notebooks.

FYI: You can find many of the most important Latin conversation expressions in this Quizlet set: Quizlet 000 First Conversations (NLE = National Latin Exam)


Now look at your "Chapter 1 Greetings" handout (from Conversational Latin by Traupman). We are going to listen to the first dialogue, page 15.  First we will learn how to pronounce the words in the first dialogue:

Once you have finished the survey, please fill out the student questionnaire. Please be as detailed as space allows.  Don't rush it. Answer thoughtfully.
