Some Advice on Reading

• Wheelock recommends reading aloud or at least pronouncing the Latin under your breath when you are reading a Latin sentence.   This slows you down and also echoes the way the Romans actually read what they wrote,
• Father Henle recommends learning NOT to translate mentally into English when you are reading Latin.  Try to simply get the sense of the Latin words.  This is advice for the long term.  At first, it's almost impossible to avoid translating in your head, and of course, most beginning Latin courses require translations.   However, it is something to keep in mind.

Qui diê fêcit sôlem et lûnam, et stellâs?  
Quîs natant in aquîs?   
Ubi volitant avês? 
Quid nômen prîmae mulieris habuit?
