I agree with everything said in this video. At 78 I started to learn Latin only five months ago, and it is taking over my life because it is so absorbing and so many paths spring from it. Thank you for your video.
barrybaines: I'm 75 and a half plus, and today my first Latin textbook was delivered to me by post. I am looking forward immensely to studying Latin. Your comment is very encouraging. No doubt you, like me, are always studying various subjects, and agree that learning is a lifelong pleasure. I wish you well in your continued studies.
You are so right about Latin’s conciseness. Take for example the question “Where do you come from?”, which would be simply translated to “Unde venis?”. Probably thats one of the reasons why Latin was the preferred language for scientific and academic writing up until the (I think) XVIII century.
I've had a long journey of fantasy, mythology, mysticism, psychedelia, history, ancient literature, theology, and languages (Native English, then Russian, German, Star Wars language memorization, Tolkien insight appreciation) and I have recently become very religious about the Bible. Somehow it came into my heart to study Latin, and when I started, I felt "this is life-giving". I still feel that way and hearing you say it was very mysterious and nice.
I translate from French and Italian into English, and have just decided to learn Latin. Italian vocabulary in particular gives you a very solid grounding in Latin vocabulary, I can say from the outset!
Latin is my native language's mother. It seems like all formal words in Portuguese come from Latin. The more I learn Latin, the more I observe this. If you speak a Romance language, you will see how cool it is to learn Latin.
Latin was an international language in the European, middle east and Asia area, and it was transmitted orally and in writing by tens of thousands of people (monks, businessmen, students, workers etc.), also monks and kings science servants were writing translation books with words sounds from all the countries the king had affairs. All the books are kept in monasteries, museums and personal collections.
I am bilingual in Spanish and English, and studying Latin has helped me a lot in understanding both languages. But I use the Church pronunciation, i.e. Italian. It is easier.
Definitely started with the bible for me, Understanding why the Romans were in Jerusalem at the time of Jesus, also seeing how christianity became widespread in the western world because of Rome. The culture is interesting, the language is closely linked to modern languages and philosophers have definitely had an influence on our society today. All that and I want to sound like a cool gladiator preparing for battle haha.
Idk even if my comments here gets read but I started learning Latin when it helped like I just watched a random video and in the next day in my English test they asked what does sororicide mean and I was really excited and also I'm gonna be learning med soon so Many terms in Biology are from Latin , like F1 generation (filial 1) It's not that much but I feel like learning this would give me more confident in the things I learn with connecting this to so I'll try to study latin to the fullest !
Greetings. Can you give me an example of your second reason as to how Latin can help with biblical studies? And is there a way that Latin can help in areas the Koine Greek isn’t able to? Thanks.
Not him but some western saints hagiography was initially in latin (thinking of Ireland or Anglo-saxon), some importants philosophical texts were in latin first (Boethius or Cassiodorus), and lastly some importants saints were latins (Saint Leo, Saint Gregory the Great, Saint Ambrose, etc.). It is true that generally those are more easily translated in English or other modern language, but still it's nice to be able to check them out in their original language.
My first language is Spanish and I also know French so I am curious about learning Latin, the original Mother Tongue. Will it be worth the trouble to learn I ask myself. Since I like to read I will need to find books written in Latin.
I study Latin and being Italian learning it is quite simple but I have such a bad teacher who doesn't reach me anything and it's a pity, I also do not like Latin anymore cause of all the exercises that I have, furthermore even though the words are almost the same I can't remember them, any advice?
You don‘t study for other people. You only study for yourself! That means, if you started off something ‘cause you love it, it doesn‘t matter how bad your current lecturer is. He is merely a means to an end.
The amount of time and effort and intelligence and years and years of dedication it takes to learn a language you would be WAY better off just learning how to code. Far more useful far more beneficial skill to learn for equal amount of effort and skill. We need to move forward not backwards.
the latin language is the language the exorcist uses , and the demon uses , plz like , we dont study latin for entertainment, we study latin to exorcise demon posessed people

Yes am really interested in diving deeper into the esoteric

Great to read through the minds of astronomers like Keppler, Newton, etc.
Natural philosophy... Linnaeus...many phenomenal classic material to read for science historians. Same for Religion and History in general...

Thousand percent. Things that people around you would NEVER mention are quietly revealed to you as you read such Latin.
That's why I'm learning Latin, I speak Spanish as a first language.
I am Greek and find a lot of similarities as well and Greek isn't an Italic language

Erasmus comes to mind.
What books should I learn and read about Latin
Jesus is God. John 1:1-5; John 4: 24; Rev. 1:8;18. And Acts 2:38 really makes someone better.😊 But I will look into learning Latin.

Go to Latin mass. They are out there. You just need to look.
The Vulgate translation of the Bible is one of the best versions. Besides a lot of medieval commentaries of the Bible were written in Latin.

Well find another course

Find people you could speak with from the Vatican.
I understood Cicero in Latin is pronounced more like Keekero 🤨

Do you have a single twin brother?
60% of the words in English have their roots in Latin.
I have my doubts about the way Latin has "impacted" your english.

Codding is the same as learning a language, coding builds the future, but latin uncovers the mysteries of the past
Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it. Post Modernity ignores History and ignores Morality as if you can "code" your own existence.
You know nothing about latin.
And the fifth reason: It keeps you from getting too dingy in old age.
Him:
" The 2nd reason. It would be very helpful to study latin is if you have interest in religion,theology or the bible"
Me: fk that sh8!
