      I'm probably splitting hairs but it's also an interesting fact, most glasses haven't contained glass for years, the lenses are made of strong, scratch resistant, shatterproof plastic. However given that an ancient Roman would have no concept of plastic, yes he would probably think it was glass just looking at it.

    I cannot believe how good this is. The German accent. How the German speaks slower than the Roman. The hot Roman. How accurate the personality’s show. Like the Dr. seems kinda weird and awkward in our and the roman’s eyes but he is so excited and joyful ! How direct the Roman is and how he acts just how you would imagine a soldier in that time to do ! The tiny historical facts inserted perfectly in the text! How we see language and time(?) barriers. Just how hot the Roman is. The jokes after the interviewer asks the Roman stupid questions. The arrogance of the soldier. “It’s for the ritual” “ne, ich brauche das !” I’m so dead after this video…When did I become a person that would absolutely simp over a video (and a bald guy) like that?

    This was hilarious. I studied Latin at school and my teachers made me hate it, because they treated it as a dead language. So I hardly remember anything. The only positive memory I have is a play we did entirely in Latin, which we really enjoyed.
    My daughter will have to study Latin from September on and I will show her this video hoping it gives her a connection with the language.

      I am now learning portuguese with my Brazilian friend and i can easily hold conversations in Portuguese as I told him not to hold back while teaching me as I didn’t hold back or go slow when I was teaching English to him.
      I only to spoke in English to him and when it was my turn he was only to speak Portuguese to me.
      This turned out to be a really fast way of learning a language.
      My friend has went from pronouncing the “Ed” at the end of his verbs for example he would say “I stopp-ed or I listen-ed” to being proficient in English and I think the only man in Brasil who can speak Scots with me without issue.
      I am now on to reading Russian and I have recently entered an Arabic course I have learned the Arabic alphabet and a how to read MSA script and to ask basic questions and greetings etc
      I think I will be going for khaleeji Arabic as my chosen dialect to learn along with MSA.
      Seriously thank you don’t know how much your videos mean to some people because of you giving me the confidence to start languages again you inadvertently helped a Brazilian man learn his English too.
