      Norbert, idealnie by było jakby jeszcze pojawiał się angielski odpowiednik zgadywanego słowa, tak dla rozwiania wątpliwośc. Nigdy tak na serio nie uczyłem się żadnego z języków w tym materiale (trochę transmisji meczów włoskich i hiszpańskich w ich językach i duuużo komparatystyki ze znanymi językami), a udało zgadnąć (chyba) wszystko poza skorpionem, jeśli ostatnim słowem mógł być, żal czy żałoba. Świetny materiał i czekam na więcej języków germańskich, a przede wszystkim skandynawskie (może old norse?).

      @@alexgomez002 I have also never learned latin in class, I've mainly gotten an interest in it since I'm catholic and attend a latin Mass.
      The classical pronunciation is a pretty recent attempt of restoring latin to how the romans allegedly would have pronounced latin at around the time of Christ. It is very harsh and every letter is pronounced quite literally (lack of a better word). Most noticable differences in classical pronunciation:
      1. All C's are pronounced as K's (so Vincent is pronounced as Vinkent)
      2. All G's are hard (so all G's are pronounced like G in Golf)
      3. V's are pronounced as W's
      There are of course many more differences.
      The Ecclesiastical pronunciation (i.e. church latin) is to my knowledge pretty much the latin pronounced in europe since at least the time of Charlemagne (ca 800s AD), as that is when latin 'officially' became another language from the vernacular languages. Though I think many of it's elements are much older (soft C's and G's etc which came around 300s or something)

A Russian woman I know thinks that Romanian isn't easy for people who speak other Romance languages to understand, because of the Slavic influence, but I find it much more similar to the Latin family than the Slavic. I mean overall--I understand that Romanian is rich with Slavic words as well.

      Well, first both Latin and German are Indo-European, so similarities are expected (numbers 1-10, words for milk, mother, father, brother, sister sound recognizable in all Indo-European languages). Second, German borrowed some words from Latin directly, even very common ones (Das Fenster from "fenestra", native Germanic one would be Windauge, still retained in English).

      The german latin teacher's pronounciation is nothing compared to what we heard in this video. Here it was pretty accurate, although the is controversial. Some say it's [v] and some say it's [w]. In Germany they read latin as if it's a german text. As a university standard. So awkward.

      @@afilanus7084 I see it like this: schools usually don't teach Latin for verbal communication. Professions with reading (and maybe writing) Latin far outweigh the ones where you have to be able to speak it properly (you can probably count them on one hand, although one can always come up with something new).
      Since schools mainly try to prepare for a wide range of professions for one's later life, spoken Latin isn't nearly as important as spoken English, Spanish or French (the three other languages my school taught besides Latin).

I have seen them get triggered by somebody pronouncing the post Alexandrian common variant of the language Koine insted of kee-neh. Others get mad when you pronounce beta like a b instead of a V. You should check out the channel called podium arts. It’s run by an actual native modern Greek speaker who uses ancient reconstructed pronunciation for a lot of the classics. The comment sections are absolutely chock-full of challengers and naysayers taking him to task. In Greek, of course.

    I grew up around "Spanglish" and that with studying for a little over a year now consistently studying Spanish, this video is very informative and I can actually follow the conversation quite well. Estoy muy feliz por el ayudar que he recibo desde mis Professors y Professoras y continuaré estudiando Español a comprende más para razónes de personale.

    I'm Brazilian and I speak English and Italian, so this video was really fun! I had some trouble to understand some parts of Latin, but I could catch up, and the subtitles really helped, cause I guessed most of the words before they did

    ¡Genial este vídeo! I had so much fun watching it!! Me ha encantado. Quería comentar que la palabra "alacrán" se usa en España también (y seguramente en otros países aparte de Méjico); su etimología según la RAE proviene del árabe ('aqrab) como es común en muchas palabras en español que comienzan con "al". He disfrutado muchísimo escuchando el latín e intentando adivinar el significado. ¡Enhorabuena!
