Swallowing the Dictionary - Ripman's 8hrs 28 mins (Audio Books)
PLDZ-28
About this item:
Thousands of words, read out by topic in English and Latin in the Restored Classical Pronunciation.
This is an excellent way to painlessly expand your vocabulary - words are arranged by topic. The audio for this DVD was produced in 2008.
Over 80 years ago, Walter Ripman, in his 'Handbook of the Latin Language', organized Latin vocabulary into domains and subdomains. The noted New Testament scholar I. Howard Marshall, himself a student of Latin, claims that Ripman's reference was an extremely useful way of organizing the material for a student learning Latin vocabulary. This DVD has 50 semantic fields, with sub-fields. It closely follows the pioneering work of Ripman. Each word is read in English and Latin, so correct quantity is learned naturally. Tens of thousands of words are presented - this DVD is intended to be listened to multiple times - initially this will be quite tiring, if not bewildering - however, this system will help to build your vocabulary rapidly, and, if refreshed on a monthly basis, the words you have learned will become consolidated, and new words and idiomatic expressions will become engraved in your mind with each subsequent iteration
