Hello, I am a 38 years old German male that has recently started to (re)learn Latin as a hobby. I leaned Latin at school 20 years ago, and was quite ambitious in the beginning, but when I left school I forgot nearly everything. But then I watched 'Barbaren' on Netflix where the Romans speak Latin and I was sad that I could not even recognize anything (let alone understand).
Then I thought it would be nice to lean Latin again and I read about LLPSI which I use now. At the moment I am in lesson 20 (I also have the Exercitia Latina) but I realize that I also need to do some active exercises.
Therefore the question if I can post some text here sometimes which some of you might check for mistakes that I make.
Here is something that I have written yesterday:
Crās līberī verba frequentia pulchrius scrībent quam hodiē. Nam tum māiōrēs erunt et līberī māiōrēs melius scrībere possunt.
Hōc tempore līberōs in lūdum īre non oportet quia ita aliōs hominēs nōn aegrōtōs facere possunt.
Sed ūnō annō ante iī aliōs hominēs aegrōtōs facere nōn poterant quod tunc is morbus gravis nōn erat.
Mox vērō omnia melius atque hic morbus minus perīculōsus erit.
Pānis aliusque cibus editur ā virīs, fēminīs, līberīsque quia omnēs hominēs ēsse debent.
Ovēs ōva nōn pariunt, avēs ōva pariunt. Ovēs parvās ovēs vīvās pariunt.
Verba ovis ōvum avis scīre mē difficilem esse putō quia haec verba vix aequa sunt.
I know the content is rather dull and there is no red thread, but it was less easy than I thought to write those lines. Feel free to also be nitpicking even about wrong vowel lengths. I hope I do not disregard any forum rules with that request or offend anyone for asking to do corrections.
If I continue this project I will post new texts in this thread.
Thank you in advance and have fun.
