Iulia Marcum visitat (Disce Latine Lectio I)

Who has come to town? Marcus is going to know it soon as Iulia comes to him to announce the news.

This is the first lesson from a very good (probably the best) Latin textbook ever published in Poland. The book is not available anymore but it sometimes can be found second hand.

Iūlia Mārcum vīsitat

Hic Mārcus hăbĭtat. Ecce porta. Iūlia portam pulsat. Amīcus nōn appāret.

– Dormītat – cōgitat Iūlia. Mārcus dormītāre amat.

Iūlia Mārcum vocat: – Marce! Ma-ā-arce!

Ecce Mārcus!

– Salvē! – Iūlia amīcum salūtat.

– Salvē, Iūlia! – Mārcus Iūliam salūtat et rogat: Quid est? Hannibal ad portās?

– Nōn Hannibal – respondet Iūlia et rīdet (Iūlia rīdēre amat).

– Rōscius ad portās est! Rōscium vidēre iuvat.

Mārcus cōgitat: Quem? Rōscium? Hercle! Quis est Rōscius?


I use classic restored Latin pronunciation. The text is very basic, so it is useful for beginners in the language.

The book: Wojciech Mohort-Kopaczyński, Teodozja Wikarjakówna, “Disce Latin 1”, PWN, Warszawa 2003.

Hi! My name is Jan and I’m from Poland. I love learning and teaching languages. This channel is mostly about it. I will also post some random stuff from time to time. Most of the videos are going to be in English. Have fun! 🙂

About the author

Ioannes Oculus

I am addicted to languages, both modern and ancient. No language is dead as long as we can read and understand it. I want to share my linguistic passion with like minded people. I am also interested in history, astronomy, genealogy, books and probably many others. My goals now are to write a novel in Latin, a textbook for Latin learners, Uzbek-Polish, Polish-Uzbek dictionary, modern Uzbek grammar and textbook for learners. My dream is to have a big house in UK or USA where I could keep all my books and have enough time and money to achieve my goals.
