Welcome David - Primitivus - 06-06-2007
Quote:I am really interested in ancient and medieval history, and of course in warfare.Alas, warfare does constitute the most fascinating part of human history, doesn't it?
Welcome Herve - Primitivus - 06-06-2007
Quote:First, please be patient about my poor englishBi-lingual people need never apologize for their second language, in my opinion. Glad to have you joining the RAT family.
Re: New recruits - Et tu brute - 06-06-2007
I agree, the fact they try is is all that matters
Re: New recruits - Praefectusclassis - 06-06-2007
Exactly, so when are all you native speakers going to learn a second language? Shall we change RAT's official language? Any proposals? :wink: :wink:
And in the meantime, a hearty welcome to all newcomers of late!

Re: New recruits - Et tu brute - 06-06-2007
No!

Römische Armee Sprache?
Re: New recruits - Et tu brute - 06-06-2007
What do you mean, Latin? This is how bad I am, I had to use a translater to be certain what that said
though I do have an excuse though, as I haven't been in a German lesson for over 6 months (been ill) and i'm only just starting to do some Germam again.
A New Language - Primitivus - 06-07-2007
Quote:Exactly, so when are all you native speakers going to learn a second language? Shall we change RAT's official language? Any proposals? :wink: :wink:I was afraid someone might suggest something like that. Most of us Americans struggle with second languages. I studied Spanish in Junior High, and considered it challenging. Studied Latin in High School and realized how simple Spanish was. In college I took a year of Greek and recognized that Latin wasn't all that difficult. Then, at seminary, I was immersed in Hebrew and reflected on how simple Greek was.
All told, I've studied a lot of "foreign" language only to realize I don't have a particular aptitude for such pursuits...
Hello RAT Pack! - Ricktavius - 06-07-2007
I'm the newest member of the board, so thought I'd introduce myself. My name's Rick, I'll go by Ricktavius on this board (original, huh?). I'll probably be more of a lurker than a poster, at least initially. Roman is really not my expertise. I've mainly been an American Revolutionary and Civil War historian and reenactor, but a year ago I got stationed in Germany (US Air Force), and after visiting a few sites in Europe my itch to learn more about the Roman Empire finally made me take the leap. I'm also developing an interest in the Crusader/Knight era.
Anyway, thanks for the warm welcome, there is a lot of info on this board and the old RAT board I'll be reading up on, I'll try not to ask too many stupid questions!
