Salvete, Magistra! I love these videos, thanks so much for making them and letting us use them to learn Latin. They are a lot of fun, and your voice and delivery are very inspiring! Great work. Multas gratias!
OMG, that was adorable. And hilarious and therefore fully engaging! I'm a DIY latin student, mostly using LLPSI as a structure - but as you describe in your excellent (also funny and engaging) article against orhberg worship, I have found myself in the 27th chapter doing pretty well with reading comprehension but barely able to string 2 words together when meeting other enthusiasts for free conversations - and aural comprehension also lagging. I'm a big reader but less into videos and pure audio - so finding engaging audio/visual stuff to interact with at such a beginner level is super challenging. So thank you - looking forward to the rest of this series!
How are you doing anne? Have you finished the familia romana? I`ve started 2 weeks ago and am at chapter 5. Can read some sentences but can`t produce anything even if it were to save my life lol.
Thank you so much for your comprehensible imput. That's how I learn languages and exactly what I was looking for! :) I shall be watching all your videos!! ❤
I've been searching for a way to communicate εις and εκ using stock video and basic vocabulary, its almost impossible to find stock video. Short of actually videoing myself, I think the video game options is possibly the best one. PS: I don't know any latin at all, and I am able to follow this, so great!
I'm really glad it was easy to follow without knowing Latin! Yeah, capturing game footage can be great. Minecraft is particularly nice because the game lets you switch between 3 camera angles - first person perspective, and viewing the character from the front and back.
I love this! Thank you! But you're disctracting me from my memorizing declension paradigms and translating ancient texts with this newfangled comprehensible input stuff! XD
This is good stuff! It will make a great addition to my teaching tools. You should try Song School Latin. It has 30 track Latin songs, videos, work books and a teacher's manual. I also have the kids repeat certain things like hi, bye, can I have a drink ect. I think the best way to retain vocabulary is by using it consistently in conversation. The Montessori method is my style of teaching, so I don't force it either. That way they keep an interest in learning! Thanks for the videos!
Thank you! Yes, I should definitely check out Song School Latin, maybe give it a review from the materials I can find. I am a big fan of the Montessori method, and the principles behind it. I think it's really great for getting students intrinsically interested and curious about the world and its properties, to foster the love of learning, as opposed to the coercive environment of tests and deadlines. If we could just rebuild our education system from scratch again, I'd love to see it actually built on setting up children for life-long learning rather than on short-term test performance.
@@FoundinAntiquity it would be great to get a review. I'm new to Latin but have noticed a lot of errors in pronunciation. That would be cool if you could also make a correction video. I also like translating books like "Brown Bear Brown Bear". The kids like it and I enjoy the practice reading Latin.
@@isabellyshelly8276 from the small samples I've found so far I've noticed a couple errors in grammar/usage too - "salvē discipulī" (in the DVD) where the singular "salvē" was used to greet the plural "discipulī", and an unidiomatic version of "what's your name?" as "quid est tuum praenōmen?" instead of the usual "quid est tibi nōmen?"
@@FoundinAntiquity ugh! How annoying! I've noticed that they keep dubbing over the lady's voice when she says the vocabulary. I've spent over two hundred dollars on it. Oh well, I kind of am just using it as a primer for my family to get comfortable with the language. Thank you for telling about the errors you found. At least my kids love the songs and monkey.
@@isabellyshelly8276 one thing I can credit it for is that it has a lot of built in repetition of the target words, and because it is delightful to listen to the songs multiple times, it's not a chore to accumulate a really good amount of repetition per vocab item. At least it sounds intrinsically pleasant.
A really nice ide and very well executed! One thing though: my Latin teacher back then always insisted on another word order. Nando et Oercus animalia sunt, not Nando et Orcus sunt animalia. That word order is so ingrained in me that i was kinda confused first...
Hello, I'm a beginner learner and need clarification about what to do. I have LLPSI along with the teaching materials, student guide and workbook. Should I continue to use them (I'm in chapter two) or abandon that approach and take up CI, or should I do both CI and the natural method? Thanks!
I love this! As a Latin teacher, do you have any advice on how someone can get back into learning Latin at home? I studied Latin GCSE (UK) in school and achieved a very high mark, but that was 6 years ago now and I haven't studied it since. I would love to get back into it and use it in my everyday life. Any tips for a textbook etc. to start with?
I am currently learning latin through Wheelock. My goal after I finish that is to come here and watch all of the Comprehensible Input, then once finished, to go through the Lingua Latina series. Does this sound like a good plan? Or, should I wait until I finish Lingua Latina to start the Comprehensible Input? Thanks
the channel is a Latin learning resource made by an Australian Latin professor. though im certain spanish has infinitely more resources for "comprehensible input" [this learning/teaching style, which is proven to be very effective. J'aurais aimé des choses comme ça à l'école, maudit calisse.] so if your still searching: I recommend looking for "comprehensible input spanish" resources
It should have been "quid est hoc" in both cases. It was a mistake, but I had originally thought it was necessary to make the ddemonstrative pronoun hic/haec/hoc agree with the gender of the item it describes. But in the case of asking about an unknown object, it is not possible for a speaker to know ahead of time what gender to use, hence the neuter placeholder is best.
bona ratiō est tibi. 'animal' est quod 'animam' habet et spīrat, vīvēns, itaque serpetor animal est. sed ego perterrita eram nec rectē arbitrārī poteram.
Serpetor is the official Latin Minecraft translation for "Creeper" - it's nicely constructed from the verb "serpō, serpere" meaning "to creep" with the "-tor" suffix for "-er".
Wether The h sound is said Depends on Time period one is mimicking, for example at least by the time of saint augastine it was Common not to pronounce it. in reconstructed classic latin I believe it's pronounce most of the time pronounce. In the traditional ltalian pronunciation (the pronounation I use more) it usually isn't pronounced, but there are exemption for example the church I go to does pronounce it
Okay, I like that you did this, but please give some credit to Magister Craft, aka Jesse, because he started this whole Latin Minecraft thing on UA-cam.
I really appreicate Jesse Craft's channel, Magister Craft! I'd love to collaborate with him some day. But I actually only found his channel after starting this Minecraftium series... my inspiration here was more from Aleph with Beth and Legonium's Disco series. Magister Craft's videos are different from Minecraftium in that he uses Minecraft to tell Roman stories set in ancient locations, whereas I situate these stories in the vanilla Minecraft universe itself. We're similar in that it's Minecraft + Latin in the same video, but neither of us is copying the other.
All episodes of _Minecraftium_ in their playlist: ua-cam.com/video/cu62fMHtVvc/v-deo.html
I love how a Latin study lesson was integrated with school work. The ending was funny.
As a Native Spanish Speaker
I understood 40% of it
jajajajjaj entiendo :)
soy hispanohablante (no nativo) que vive en Santiago entonces entendí, más o menos, el mismo porcentaje :D
omg, I was using minecraft to help with my french and I didn't actually think I'd find latin Minecraft videos when I searched it up. I'm so glad.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed finding Latin minecraft content!
I didn’t know there’s minecraft channels to help with french. What channel were you watching?
same but in arabic

still beautiful all these months later
Glad you're still liking it!
¡Bellísimo! Adoro el latín y Minecraft. Muchas gracias por estos espléndidos vídeos.
This was epic :D I love how you brought together such a modern concept like minecraft and used it to teach an ancient language 😄😄 Thank you!
Hi, I just wanted to say that my eyes lit up when I saw this series, and I really appreciate it
I just was amazed at this 1st episode.....is it possible to learn latin here?
I love it. Thank you for making these videos.
Thank you for your encouragement!
Optime fecisti, Magistra!

This is fab! Great to have this kind of resource to supplement the CLC and LLPSI

Naming the chicken Nando caught me off guard xd
Haha the naming was fun!
That was hilarious and i feel like i learned a lot
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

Good idea for comprehensible input. I was wondering how well you know Ancient Greek and if you intend on doing something similar for Ancient Greek?
Very good, lots of repetition. I learned a lot of words in a short time.
Glad to hear that!
it looks like a meme but it's appreciated.
THIS IS AMAZING!!! gratias tibi ago :DD
i love how also minecraft is in latin
This is so awesome!!!

How "quid est hic" and "quid est haec" differ?

how did you set MC to LATIN

I don't find "serpetor" in any online Latin dictionary. I find serpens though. Am I missing something here? Great video!

@@FoundinAntiquity Thank you for the quick reply. It's all a Minecrafty thing! See, my age is showing because I am ignorant of Minecraft.
Sed domus non est?

Why do you ask "quid est haec" or "quid est hic" if you don't know what it is and therefore don't know the gender of the word?
This is a mistake in the early videos of this series, but it gets corrected later
