Title: I need some help
Post by: crow on April 06, 2015, 11:12:17 pm

I'm in a Latin class and the professor is dropping our ten lowest grades if we can memorize 10 lines of Latin.  Do you have any tips for memorizing this?  I kind of want to do Aquinas, but do you have any recommendations for Latin stuff to read (it has to be originally written in Latin, so no Bible, and it can be any form of writing).

Don't know if this will count as individual lines, being a poem, but I memorized this for my Latin class back in college. I've linked a recording of it being recited as well, which I always kept around because my teacher at the time said that the reciter's accent made it sound like Dracula was reading this in some dark room. Anyways, apologies if this doesn't help!
