I'm a language teacher, Specifically Spanish at the moment. I have studied French, Spanish, Portguese, German, and Dutch, but avoided Latin thinking it was hard, but lately been looking at it and learning it. It is so easy. At this point just memorization. Kudos to your video friend!
That's an impressive list of languages! Some languages are certainly more complicated, but I think with the right method, any language can be made easy. And I think it's a lot easier to learn if you know other romance languages as well as English. Thanks for watching and sharing!
this is where I call bullshit. You don't STUDY (what does that even mean? For how long exactly? 3 years each?) 5 different languages and happen to not know that latin is the literal mother of all western languages and that it would be beneficiary to START with latin, before you continue with its offspring. Wild, right?
@@sirtaylor2569 yea start with a dead language! How motivational that will be when you can't speak with anyone. It's not that they didn't know the history of Latin, they said they thought it was too difficult to learn. Which is completely reasonable considering it's LITERALLY a dead language that no one speaks natively.

Thank you for putting this course online. Very, very well done. I was born and brought up in Italy, we studied classical Latin at school - before they made the curriculum easier in 1962. So I am one of the last of the old school, when we studied Latin at the Liceo Classico very intensively, for several hours, every day, and we translated from original Latin literature. Now 73 years old, I find that I have forgotten many words. It is a joy to follow your course, even if it is elementary, because it puts me back in touch with that great language. And wonderful to see that there are still many people interested in learning it.
Thanks! I'm glad you like it! Yes, I was also very surprised that there are so many people interested in learning Latin! It's a very interesting language
Its very cool indeed in one week i know how to great people in latin. Salve, mihi nomen est Jacob, quid est tibi nomen? Et ut vales? Idk my name in latin and only problem i have is trilling my r. Other than that it us easy and fun
My wife's family is from Naples and we hope to travel there someday, I am hoping learning Latin can give me a headstart at Italian. I can at least talk to the priests!
April 22, 2023. I am VERY EXCITED about this production. It seems to be very well done --------- and very user friendly. I am looking forward to my lessons. Thank you very much for sharing this with all of us.
Just found your channel, have been getting a bit disheartened with my slow progress, but your videos have lifted my spirits. Many thanks, keep up the good work.
I'm a very slow learner. I've probably watched this video over a dozen times, but things are starting to come together. I'll do this with each video in your latin playlist until I get it.
I’ve been learning Latin through Duolingo for half a year now and after finishing the course, I’m still confused. Thanks for your videos! They’re great and fun to watch :D
@@slappy8941I plan on watching @easylatin videos and also learning on an app Do you recommend any other apps Or do I still use doulingo and doing this at the same time?
I want to learn Latin because i used to know it when I was a child. I learned it automatically from taking part in the catholic mass but that was so so many years ago. I will learn here from you and Thank you for offering this ancient language. 🙏🏼
I feel like latin was one of those languages that you felt and interpreted in PERSON with human beings and everything around. Love it. Was the first language I was given in highschool by chance loved it.
Just decided to learn Latin today and this lesson has me super motivated that I'll have this down in no time. I want to be able to read old maps and docs. Thank you so much for your wealth of knowledge!
Spanish was my first language. I always thought latin was going to be difficult. 34 years later here I am answering the questions this video is asking "if I know what the words mean" before he responds. I am extremely happy I decided to take a chance and learn this.
I was told by a friend that when he decided to learn all of the Romance languages, he learned to speak Latin first, and it made all of the other languages so easy. So I’m going to follow his method.
I wish my Great Gram was still alive. She knew Latin; it would have been fun to practice with her. I remember her telling me over and over again that it wasn't that hard... I didn't believe her. Then recently I started watching some UA-cam channels on esoteric history and again these people are saying Latin isn't that hard. Still, didn't believe them but I decided to just give it a go! Latin isn't as easy as my family and these UA-camrs make it out to be, but I am enjoying the process. This first lesson is very approachable and I feel confident. Every morning I do this lesson and once I have every word and conjugation memorized I will move lesson two! Even though I've listened to this lesson over and over again it's still fun every time. I'm really enjoying it, thank you! I really appreciate you putting this knowledge up for free!!
This is really good. It was fun to pause the video and and try to work out the sentences. I messed up the word endings but was understanding the sentences better than I thought I would. Excellent video
i am a portuguese speaker (brazilian portuguese) that studied english and has always been interested in languages, my mom wanted me to learn latin, and i also did, and now here i am. excellent video!!
I just felt like learning latin in a bit of an impulse and watched this lesson. I cannot believe how much I enjoyed it. It is such a simple yet elegant language. I think the fact that this lesson makes someone with almost no prior exposure to the language, enthusiastic and embraced by the language, shows how great this introductory lesson is. Most introductory lessons are amazingly boring and often discourage learners by making it seem like a chore. I am already in love with this one. I will definitely finish the rest. I just love how I is refered by Ego in latin, it is pretty poetic. So excited to see through the rest.
Truly excellent teaching method. I love how you don't overwhelm us right away with a ton of grammar, lengthy verb conjugation charts, and noun declensions. I also really like how you relate the roots of each word to an English word. Latin is a very grammatically complex language, but if you break it down into smaller pieces like you do, it makes it more manageable. I will continue watching your videos for sure.
Thank you! 😃 I'm glad it was helpful! Yeah, I think all languages are easy to learn if they are taught properly and memorizing charts isn't an effective or fun way to go about it.
I have forgotten a lot of the Latin I learned at school. Some 30 years ago... This is a perfect way to start from the beginning, but in a more relaxed way. I remember a lot of the stems, but the grammar that makes you understand what is happening in the sentences... that is a different matter. I have already decided on relearning Latin, as well as French and German. (English isn't my mother tounge either.) Really, I shouldn't waste my core knowledge any more. In two years I will be proficient in five languages. Thanks to this resource and others I found during this year, I will relearn Latin. And, I'll start with this one.
Hey man, could use some help! I'm looking to get specifically 'God's plan' tattooed on me in latin..I'm just unsure whether 'Dei consilium' or 'Deus consilium' would be the correct term or if either would be gramatically correct, be great if you could help :)
@@EasyLatin they always told me i was stupid , didnt want to learn and was to playfull. now im an adult and i learned more about worldwar 2 , politics , languages , pscyholoy and etc. simply because i want to learn it. back at school they forced it on me to when i wasnt ready or intrested yet. now i do wood working , assemble computer wires ,logistics and more.' i see how alot of our current languages are based on latin. school should be about what you're currently intrested in not about what they want you to learn. i know my gramma isnt right but i hope you get the point !
I have been trying to learn with druolingo made it through 10 or so chapters with them put in many hours. Still after repeating sections time and time again with help from Google translate I couldn't grasp some of the basics. Now watching 10 minutes of your video you explain everything flawlessly. Absolutely brilliant teacher. If you are starting to learn DO NOT USE DUOLINGO!!! WATCH THESE VIDEOS.
Thank you so much for this informative video, I highly appreciate your teaching. I have decided to learn Latin to start my 2023. I know around 8 language now and though I’m not fluent in all, languages make me so happy. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Bless you and wish you health and happiness always, teacher 🙏🏻
This is brilliant. My mother tongue is French and I am fluent in English. Learning Latin is fairly easy and your lessons are wonderful. Thank you! Isabelle, Victoria BC, 🇨🇦
I am of Italian background but born in Australia. I was an Italian, English (ESL) & French teacher. I have taught myself Spanish over the last 3 years. So now I would like to learn some basic Latin to see how each Romance language gets Latin right, and in which way. Also I don't want to spend hours learning Latin, as I'm middle-aged, but definitely interested in quick 10 minute lessons, where I can learn basic Latin. Well done.
I first thought that learning latin would be awful hard but decided to give it a go and it’s actually not that difficult, your teaching method is excellent!
Man, this could easily be the best free latin course on the internet available to plebs like my humble self. Thank you very much for your excellent work!
Thank you so much for this video! I've done some self-teaching with Latin since I've been taking Spanish classes in high school. Learning Spanish made it easier for me to understand how Latin works, so I was able to understand how infinitive verbs were conjugated. I started looking for videos that could help me with pronunciation and what the macrons meant, and your video helped me greatly with that.
I am seventy. I learned Latin fifty years ago. I am happy to have your Latin course. I like your teaching, the way you explain grammar. I am rather confused about your pronunciation. I learned Latin with French teachers. Is French pronunciation different from yours. Thank you.
Excellent teaching methodology! You introduce a manageably small bit of new information, then present it again repeatedly in varied patterns, constantly mixing new information with the old. It's a learn - and - review process that's great for promoting retention and mastery and for maintaining interest and motivation. This is a model for me to use as a teacher of Italian to English speakers. Thank you! You have earned a "Like" for this video and a new subscriber for your channel.
I attended high school in the late 1960’s. At my school, Latin was a compulsory subject in grade 9, maybe because the principal was a Latin scholar. I took Latin for 5 years until I graduated from grade 13. I must admit that it helped me to expand my vocabulary in English, although the meaning of the words did not always match. Compared to English the declensions were a nightmare but I later learned that Russian was similar in that respect. Thank you for this series of videos. It is a great refresher.
As someone that was born in a Latin country, Its interesting to see someone from another country explaining things that we use so often in our language to people that speak English
well, THIS should be fun. 43 yrs ago I got a C- in English (never did quite understand anything beyond a noun and a verb). I marvel at those who can pick up other languages, I think you have to be a realllllly smart person. Found this channel just trying to learn the Lord's Prayer in Latin, since I can't memorize that in which I cannot understand, this is going to be so helpful. Thanks for putting this channel up.
I am so glad I found your videos. I've always wanted to learn this language, and now I am! Thank you very much!! These are some really awesome lessons!
In middle school I took this sort of experimental class which they called "word clues". We learned the roots of the English language: Greek, Latin, Germanic, French etc. I really enjoyed the class but I didn't understand it's true value until later. Skip ahead to the SATs, and I crushed the verbals. Then to college, I picked up Spanish in literally two years, so much so that I had a working proficiency and used it on several trips to Mexico. I also have to give a lot of credit to a book I found called the Cortina Method, which seems very similar to your approach and tends to be the best method for me. Looking at Latin now, it seems much more succinct and elegant than English (with all its exceptions) and Spanish, with masculine and feminine nouns and irregular conjugations. Of course, I am only twelve minutes in on your first video but it seems to be coming pretty easy. I'd like to be able to read a book in its original Latin at some point, looking forward to the journey.
This was great! I'm concurrently using a language app but these videos do a great job a filling in the grammar gaps present in the app. This was beyond fantastic!
The only lesson that A: explains Latin
B: doesn't repeat a sentence 6 times And
C: actually shows the grammar.
I'm glad you like it!

You are right about ancient Latin having a hard C and G. In church Latin they were softened to make singing in Latin more melliferous.
Interesting!
It was more like the "C" before "E" and "I" was softened by the end of the Empire, by year 500 AD, the Church just followed the trend.

👍 Knowing a Romance Language really puts you at an advantage! 😀
Same for me as a Romanian speaker
I am seventy. I learned Latin fifty years ago. I am happy to have your Latin course. I like your teaching, the way you explain grammar. I am rather confused about your pronunciation. I learned Latin with French teachers. Is French pronunciation different from yours. Thank you.
Qui docet, discit! I'm gonna teach my daughter so we can both learn then.
That sounds great! I think it's always good to have someone to study with!
Thank bro! I have learnt a lot! I am from Ecuador! I wish you the best in your project!
Awesome, thank you!
Excellent teaching methodology! You introduce a manageably small bit of new information, then present it again repeatedly in varied patterns, constantly mixing new information with the old. It's a learn - and - review process that's great for promoting retention and mastery and for maintaining interest and motivation. This is a model for me to use as a teacher of Italian to English speakers. Thank you! You have earned a "Like" for this video and a new subscriber for your channel.
Thanks! I'm glad it was so helpful!
Thank you SO much, I am loving this! I am actually learning Latin! Thank you, thank you, thank you 💜💜💜
You're so welcome! I'm glad it helps!
Man, you are a great teacher. Thank you for this great lesson. It’s really fun following it!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
I attended high school in the late 1960’s. At my school, Latin was a compulsory subject in grade 9, maybe because the principal was a Latin scholar. I took Latin for 5 years until I graduated from grade 13. I must admit that it helped me to expand my vocabulary in English, although the meaning of the words did not always match. Compared to English the declensions were a nightmare but I later learned that Russian was similar in that respect. Thank you for this series of videos. It is a great refresher.
I'm glad it's helpful! Yes, Latin can help with learning other languages as the declensions and conjugation are often quite similar.
"lego my eggo" lmao 4:24
I'm glad you liked my little joke. 😆 Thanks for watching!
Holy hell, we been speaking latin our whole lives!lol😂
As someone that was born in a Latin country, Its interesting to see someone from another country explaining things that we use so often in our language to people that speak English
😂
Awesome teaching method. Thanks for the videos!
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching!
well, THIS should be fun. 43 yrs ago I got a C- in English (never did quite understand anything beyond a noun and a verb). I marvel at those who can pick up other languages, I think you have to be a realllllly smart person. Found this channel just trying to learn the Lord's Prayer in Latin, since I can't memorize that in which I cannot understand, this is going to be so helpful. Thanks for putting this channel up.
I'm glad you like it! Good luck!
CORRECTION
5:39 The slide should read: Tū dormīs
Discipula dormit
As you can hear from the explanation.
BRAVO!
i love you
Thanks 😊. I remember most of the things from the lesson. But I got my breath back when you said we will be repeating.
Great job! Yes, in each subsequent lesson there will be review and repetition 😎
@@EasyLatin thanks🙏 😊

In middle school I took this sort of experimental class which they called "word clues". We learned the roots of the English language: Greek, Latin, Germanic, French etc. I really enjoyed the class but I didn't understand it's true value until later. Skip ahead to the SATs, and I crushed the verbals. Then to college, I picked up Spanish in literally two years, so much so that I had a working proficiency and used it on several trips to Mexico. I also have to give a lot of credit to a book I found called the Cortina Method, which seems very similar to your approach and tends to be the best method for me. Looking at Latin now, it seems much more succinct and elegant than English (with all its exceptions) and Spanish, with masculine and feminine nouns and irregular conjugations. Of course, I am only twelve minutes in on your first video but it seems to be coming pretty easy. I'd like to be able to read a book in its original Latin at some point, looking forward to the journey.
I'm glad the video is helpful! I had a somewhat similar journey with language learning
This was great! I'm concurrently using a language app but these videos do a great job a filling in the grammar gaps present in the app. This was beyond fantastic!
I'm glad they're helpful!
I knew dormiō because I also know Spanish. In Spanish the word for sleep is dormir, and conjugated for the first person present is duermo.
Yeah, the Romance languages are very helpful when it comes to learning Latin!
Excellent video! I studied latin in school and have been looking to freshen up. Your'e videos have certainly gotten the ball rolling again! Thank you.
Great to hear! Thanks for watching!
I’ve been learning Latin as a middle schooler for less than a year now, and you are honestly a big help to me my dude
I'm glad to hear that! Good luck with your studies! And be sure to let your classmates know about the channel too 😉
@@EasyLatinsadly no one else in my class is learning Latin lol
I am so excited to have found this and already appreciate and love your teaching style. Thank you so much for taking time to put this together!
Thank you so much!
