I get orals xP , english yeah but having done french did me more bad than good because of pronunciation eg in 'et' the t is always pronounced in latin
FatalOrca
You have to do spoken exams for Latin?
Medicallycrazy · 26-30, F
Yup reading out text mostly
FatalOrca
That makes no sense... That form of Latin is specifically written... That's pointless...

Really?! ....She seems to find it super important to pronounce things but maybe I'm different because the oral parts is medical Latin & you need to pronounce them well as a future doctor
FatalOrca
Really, Spoken Latin wasn't the same. That's why you only ever study writing. We can't be sure of the pronounciation anyway.
