As a romanian this is the easiest thing in the world to pronounce and sound convincing while doing it :)) And I can even understand 30-40% of it just because it's so similar to romanian. Amazing how in a span of over 2000 years and thousands of kilometers, romance language speakers can almost understand each other as well as understand the ancient language from which everything branched out. This is why I love linguistics and history and this is why Metatron deserves a nice cold beer :)

Man I have never been able to say the prayers in Ecclesiastical Latin before you.....thank you sir. If you ever find the time to make a video of the Saint Michael the archangel prayer in Ecclesiastical Latin that would be awesome. Your a great teacher sir and thank you again..❤️
+Knyght Errant I am glad you found it helpful :D after you practice it a few times you can send me an audio file of you (or any person in your family/friends) reading it and I can give you further instructions, and correction if needed ;)
+Metatron could you help me with the song lyrics of Unda (wave) by Faun, with classical latin pronunciation? Lyrics: Unda attingit Te et abducit Te in profunda Sicut es unda
Great video, your pronunciation and method are impeccable. I'm from Spanish background, Italian comes easy to learn to us, but this video is so good and clear that I am learning my prayers from it. This is my 7th video on the subject, and it is the best txs.
Great tutorial. Can you also do one for the Apostles' Creed and Glory Be? 2:39 Full Speed Pater Noster 3:13 Full Speed Ave Maria 3:40 Tutorial Pater Noster 6:44 Tutorial Ave Maria
What a gem of a tutorial! My Latin class will most certainly use it next year. My current class thoroughly enjoyed it; we wish we found it sooner. Keep up the great work!!
Hello RX. If you do not yet have the Laudette app downloaded on your phone I highly recommend it. In it are latin prayers from a to z along with the english translation. There are no videos on how to pronounce the prayers in latin though, but at least you'll have the prayers so that once you become comfortable with latin you can at least become familiar with the spelling and start trying to pronounce the prayers. God bless you.
It hit me that I wanted to say my rosary as much as I can in E. Latin. I love how you go thru the tutorial on word at time. That's brilliant. I didn't realize how many years this was posted. I'll look for the sign or the cross in Latin and also the Apostles Creed. Hope you are well and thank you for your tutorial. God Bless
If you able to speak Spanish the translation is not that hard. Practice, practice. Apostles' Creed: Credo in Deum Patrem omnipotentem, Creatorem caeli et terrae. Et in Iesum Christum, Filium eius unicum, Dominum nostrum, qui conceptus est de Spiritu Sancto, natus ex Maria Virgine, passus sub Pontio Pilato, crucifixus, mortuus, et sepultus, descendit ad infernos, tertia die resurrexit a mortuis, ascendit ad caelos, sedet ad dexteram Dei Patris omnipotentis, inde venturus est iudicare vivos et mortuos. Credo in Spiritum Sanctum, sanctam Ecclesiam catholicam, sanctorum communionem, remissionem peccatorum, carnis resurrectionem, vitam aeternam. Amen Hail, Holy Queen: SALVE REGINA, Mater misericordiae. Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra, salve. Ad te clamamus exsules filii Hevae. Ad te Suspiramus, gementes et flentes in hac lacrimarum valle. Eia ergo, Advocata nostra, illos tuos misericordes oculos ad nos converte. Et Iesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui, nobis post hoc exsilium ostende. O clemens, o pia, o dulcis Virgo Maria. V. Ora pro nobis, Sancta Dei Genitrix. R. Ut digni efficiamur promissionibus Christi
This was so helpful. Thanks for doing this. One thing that would be even more helpful would be to have the English word appear underneath each Latin one as you are breaking down the pronunciation so it is easier to identify what each word means as well.
Great one, Metatron! With your help it was quite easy to pronounce that, I always was a little bit confused about few letters in Latin. Although, in my opinion the classical Latin sounds more pleasant to my ears. Thank you and keep up the brilliant work you have done so far!
Well this helps me a lot. I discovered some years ago that it was easier for me to pray the Rosary in Latin ... I knew what I was saying but I wasn't too distracted by my actual words while meditating. I've become increasingly aware that I'm too English to know how to pronounce the words in Ecclesiastical Latin. I first wondered if I ought to be rolling my R's and have started. Turns out that my intuition was correct. The vowels however ... oops. A silent "H"? I'll have to practice. Thanks for posting this!
As far as I know there is no aspiration of the H in Ecclesiastical Latin, it is aspirated in classical Latin, but not ecclesiastical. All the priest in Italy don't pronounce the H and not even the pope does. Ecclesiastical Latin is based of Italian pronunciation rules, and in Italian we write the H but we never pronounce it. Et Nihilo has no H pronounced in Ecclesiastical, only in classical. This was also backed up by a university professor of Latin.
Whoa… I’m shocked how the Old Church Slavonic version of these turns out to be a straightforward word by word translation. Even adjectives are kept after nouns, although in Slavic languages they should be put before. Well, explains why all the prayers in ~Russian sound so unnatural - they not only use obsolete vocabulary but also foreign grammar from different language branch.
I belong to a catholic family in Brazil and I still have the book of the Apostleship of Prayer e written in Latin with translation into Portuguese with me. I still read it in many occasions and I consider that, when I recite the prayers in Latin, I have a special conection with all the saints the used the same words and sounds to comunicate with God.
Thank you sooo much!!! This is exactly what I was looking for! I can't wait to be able to pray the Our Father & Hail Mary in Latin...I'm super excited about it. Thank you, thank you!!!🙏🙏🙏
Thank you very much. This was very helpful. I much prefer the ecclesial pronunciation (Since my latin is mostly musical). I have some Church friends who I am going to share this with.
As a Portuguese this is the easiest words to pronounce in Latin. This is so similar to Italian, Romanian, Spanish and Portuguese of course without any doubt cos I feel it in my soul as I love to sturdy European and no European languages.
Can we get the St. Michael the Archangel prayer in Latin? You are by far the best in getting me started on my journey to praying Ecclesiastical Latin. I owe you a debt of gratitude.
Isn't that what you should learn at school? I remember back in highschool we had to learn both types of Latin pronounciation. Ah, this brings back memories.
Thank you for doing this video, so beautifully spoken and so helpfully. If you could do more prayers it would be such a blessing! I've been trying to teach myself to read the Latin Bible..study books do nothing if you cannot hear it broken down such as you did. God bless you abundantly.... PS You should teach
Can you also provide a tutorial for the Rosary prayers in Latin please? Also, I'm sure many faithful would like to learn the Mass in Latin, particularly the responses, e.g. Holy, Holy, Holy., etc.
I was an altar boy in a Catholic military academy and did a very poor job saying the Pater Noster,, but I learned to love the sound of Latin...Enjoyed hearing it in Mel Gibson's Passion of the Christ
I love latin, too bad I'm not studying it anymore! I really enjoy your videos, especially the linguistic and "cultural" ones. I'd love to watch a video about how it worked writing in ancient Rome, both for civil and military purposes :)
We have our whole life to learn Latin (and Greek)! We can also live Latin like the prayers and short sayings. Also I enjoy reading both Latin and Greek.
TLM Sancta Missa Your profile picture is misleading! Because the true Jesus Christ is not a effeminate looking white man with long brown hair and blue eyes! That false image is the image of the Antichrist! And when the true Son of God does return, he will destroy the Antichrist and his image, along with every person that worships the Antichrist, and his image!
Dear Hebrew friend, your words & intent are highly inappropriate. Must as you're entitled to your opinion & convictions, you cannot condemn others for their traditions. I'm a westernized Chinese & I was born a pagan, until the Lord worked several miracles in my miserable life & brought me home into the Catholic Church. I, for one, am fully aware of what I'm embracing & I believe others are entitled to what & how they believe in God. Different cultures have different perceptions of the same God we profess. It matters not the what & the how but it matters most the image of God that we internalize in our embrace of Him because God knows our deepest experience of His presence in our being. I hope I've helped to clarify the very nature of embracing God in our being rather than concern over only representations of God.
As a Spanish native speak, I really don’t making the least effort pronouncing any word as if I was pronouncing Spanish. Just I need to read carefully as the words although quite familiar have a slight difference in orthography. And the vocabulary is 90% easily translated into a very close Spanish word. Even with the hiperbaton (a modality in Spanish that allows to change the ordinary order of words maintaining the meaning Latin can straight forward changes into a different version of the “Padre nuestro” still keeping the meaning and discourse.)
Excente!!! Si bien soy español, me sirvió muchísimo. Podrías haber lo mismo con el credo largo y Salve Regina??? Gracias!!! Excellent !!! Although I am Spanish, it helped me a lot. Could you have the same thing with the long creed and Hail Regina? Thank you !!!
Hi! thanks for the tutorial! It’s much more like Italian than the classic Latin. And could you explain when consonants like t, p, k should be unaspirated (sounds like d, b, g) and when aspirated?
Can you release a version for iPhones please? Also, I strongly suggest speaking to some Italians. They are good at Latin pronunciation, but you did great - most arabic guys I know have no interest in other languages. Also could you possibly find a worse quality microphone and a louder background to record in next time?
Thank you very much. I'm Catholic, I'm in tears learning pronouncing, my prayer will be perfect.
Latin brings me to tears also. There is something other worldly about it. God bless.
Lols

Yea I speak Spanish and i could track the similarity’s between the Spanish version and Latin
@@SgtIndustrial Romanian, Spanish, Italian, French and Portuguese come from Latin. So they are mutuably understandable (at some degrees)
I speak Spanish and Portuguese and I can read Italian and a little French, and yes, this is very easy for me. I love linguistics too.

This is quite unique for a UA-cam video. I have not seen many videos explaining how to pronounce religious prayers.
BEST video on the internet for ecclesiastical pronunciation. No contest, this is amazing.
I showed this to my daughter, she is repeating word after word from your video. Much love for you and your wife ❤
This is exactly what I was hoping for, incredibly helpful, thank you so much!!

This tutorial video has helped me a lot in pronouncing Latin words with regard to vowels.
hi! I'm from Brazil and I loved that tutorial, thank you so much!
Hello, can you make a video tutorial to learn the Apostles Creed and the Hail Holy Queen? this was a great video.
I'll second that, please!
Support
Benediction songTantum ergo
Yes please
If you able to speak Spanish the translation is not that hard. Practice, practice.
Apostles' Creed:
Credo in Deum Patrem omnipotentem, Creatorem caeli et terrae.

Credo in Spiritum Sanctum, sanctam Ecclesiam catholicam, sanctorum communionem, remissionem peccatorum, carnis resurrectionem, vitam aeternam. Amen
Hail, Holy Queen:

Your a great teacher my friend! Your students must be very lucky :)
Thank you for taking your time to teach us.
Thank you for doing this in multiple speeds! Great tutorial.
I am hoping to retain my memorized prayers.
Great video!
Thanks
This was so helpful. Thanks for doing this. One thing that would be even more helpful would be to have the English word appear underneath each Latin one as you are breaking down the pronunciation so it is easier to identify what each word means as well.
If you check out Father Lasance Missal, one side of page is latin the other English.
It also explains the hole latin mass, prayers sit, stand etc.
Wonderful, patient, clear teaching in beautiful Latin--thank you for sharing!
Thank you this is so important and much needed in theses end times
Great one, Metatron! With your help it was quite easy to pronounce that, I always was a little bit confused about few letters in Latin.
Although, in my opinion the classical Latin sounds more pleasant to my ears.
Thank you and keep up the brilliant work you have done so far!
Wonderful, thank you for your time and work!
Can you also do a tutorial on the chaplet of the divine mercy and the salve regina?
Well this helps me a lot.
I discovered some years ago that it was easier for me to pray the Rosary in Latin ... I knew what I was saying but I wasn't too distracted by my actual words while meditating. I've become increasingly aware that I'm too English to know how to pronounce the words in Ecclesiastical Latin. I first wondered if I ought to be rolling my R's and have started. Turns out that my intuition was correct. The vowels however ... oops. A silent "H"? I'll have to practice.
Thanks for posting this!
The H is said quietly, but it is actually aspirated a little bit. So it's barely said, but it is enunciated somewhat.
As far as I know there is no aspiration of the H in Ecclesiastical Latin, it is aspirated in classical Latin, but not ecclesiastical. All the priest in Italy don't pronounce the H and not even the pope does.
Ecclesiastical Latin is based of Italian pronunciation rules, and in Italian we write the H but we never pronounce it.
Et Nihilo has no H pronounced in Ecclesiastical, only in classical.

Thanks for clarifying, I often mix up Ecclesiastical and Classical pronunciations.
Ryan Estes My pleasure, thank you for watching and commenting
It doesn't matter what language we pray in. Just pray if you feel you need to.
I'm really enjoying learning this. Thank you.
For native speakers of Romance languages is more easy pronounced the Latín!

Stupid auto-correct error. "Much as" and not "Must as"
Super! Thank you
Can you please do a pronunciation video on the salve Regina?
Thanks for sharing ❤️
My pleasure, thanks for watching
Very beautifully explained .please can I have the Fatima prayer tutorial. The one we say while saying the Holy Rosary .thank you. GOD BLESS
Precise pronunciation. Will you consider the Prayers at the Foot of the Altar? Also the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Symbol arranged for Liturgical Use?
About the H - it is silent often but with some exceptions like nihil and mihi for example.
As a Spanish native speak, I really don’t making the least effort pronouncing any word as if I was pronouncing Spanish. Just I need to read carefully as the words although quite familiar have a slight difference in orthography. And the vocabulary is 90% easily translated into a very close Spanish word. Even with the hiperbaton (a modality in Spanish that allows to change the ordinary order of words maintaining the meaning Latin can straight forward changes into a different version of the “Padre nuestro” still keeping the meaning and discourse.)
I don't need to watch this actually, I only came to give a thumbs up :)
Thanks for this excellent video
Excellent Tutoriel !
+Monique DECANALI Thank you very much
Can you also teach the salve regina prayer. ...if can the full rosary.
Thank you
