Salve! I’m trying to learn Latin so I’ve gone to the local library and picked up a book. However, it’s far from perfect, so I have two questions for all Latin experts of TWC!
First one is if you maybe have some recommendations for things I could use to learn Latin? I’ve seen quite some useful sites and videos on the web, but I suppose it’ll be counter-effective to be following 5 courses at a time!
So, the second one is my actual reason for starting this thread. In the book I borrowed from the library are lots of exercises…. But there are no answers provided. Maybe someone could be so kind to check if my answers are correct? I won’t put all the questions online but just a handful, to get a general indication whether I’m making many mistakes or not.
So far I’ve only learned about the first and second declension nouns and how to conjugate them, as well as adjectives. The exercises are about correctly interpreting which word has which function in a sentence (subject, object, etc.). Please note that the translation of the vocabulary is not part of the exercise. The meaning of words are given so if you think I wrongly translated a word from Latin to English or vice versa, it might be the book’s mistake and not mine. That, or I made a mistake in translating from Dutch to English. (The book is in Dutch, so I have to translate everything from Dutch to English)
The bit before the dash ( - ) is the original sentence, the bit behind the dash is my translation

Thank you a lot in advance! Latin is an interesting language but certainly not an easy one. I’m sorry if this is the wrong subforum for this thread, but I don’t know where else to post. Thema Devia doesn’t seem to have any serious topics at all…
