Profile
I am a 58-year old professional Internet legal marketing writer living and working in Minneapolis, Minnesota (U.S.). I have always been interested in ancient history and the literature of the ancients, particularly the works of Roman writers. Although there are excellent translations of every major Roman Classical work, I want to read the literature in the original language. I am looking for a tudor/teacher who will be willing to commit time and energy to help me learn the language from absolute beginner. I am also looking for an online forum to discuss the language, try out my new skills and get feedback from other speakers. I am not new to learning languages. I studied German and lived in Germany or 4 years in the late 1970s, although my German has been reduced to basic 'tourist' German now. I also studied French for 4 years at the University of Minnesota and still speak/read it fairly well.

    In American English, there is no difference. You will hear it used either way. I think you will hear more Americans say, "He turned off the radio and went to bed." But either way is okay in general conversation.

    In American English, people would ask, "How did you find me?" when asking someone how they located you, for example: "How did you find me? Did you use Google Maps, a Navigator app, the telephone directory?" In American English, it would only be a very unusual and specific reason for asking, "How have you found me?" An example might be: "I am finished with the interview for the job. How have you found me? Do you find me qualified to start work, or do I need additional job skills?" As you can see, it would be really unusual in American English to use "How have you found me?"

    Verb conjugations First conjugation - ending in āra and second conjugation ending in ēra. Third conjugation ending in īra. Consenantic verbs - irregular verbs with ĕre ending. The stem ĕ gets dropped for first person singular conjugation, e.g. ludo. Or the stem gets changed to the nearest sounding vowel, e.g. ludit, ludes for second and third person singular and plural conjugations. All conjugations get similar ending following the stem vowel.

    Interested in learning Latin, just starting out I will welcome a discussion group or partnership with any other person interested in sharing their Latin journey with me. I am still in the beginning stages of establishing a relationship with a teacher/tudor.
