Polymathy is the study of many things. On my videos I want to share with you what I find interesting about science, technology, languages, geopolitics, and history. Thanks for subscribing and sharing my videos.
2:43-2:54 Upon rewatching this video a second time, I have pretty much understood this without resorting to the English on the bottom, at least the gist. Does ὡς γυμνασάμενος translate to something like "so that I might be working out" or "as/like being in the state of exercising?" I would usually say something like ἵνα γυμνάζω, which may sound more common in Koine than in Attic.

Well, I am not sure if shadowing is what I did when I started learning English in my 30's. I had never studied English before. It was just a flash in my mind. I downloaded both the PDF and the audibook 1984 of J. Orwell. Very difficult book at that time. I was able to go through the whole book with my headphone in the background, reading and repeting simultaniusly. I was so paticence that every time I couldn't understand the meaning of a word, I used to open a translator and see the meaning of it. When I completed the book my pronunciation and my understanding of English was just great. Is was crazily helpful. It is like a matrix. ps: I never heard about Alexander Arguelles' metod in past!
Hi! How to read and pronounce the botanical/ scientific names of the plants? Can you, please, help in that too? Thanks in advance! Have a harmonious day!
Salve! Num aliquid de lingua Latina Duolingonis dicere poteris? Duolingo me adiuvat cum linguam Latinam disco et pensis eius utor, sed pronuntiatio eius terribilis est atque grammatica mihi saepe pravam videtur, sed nescio.
Where are the evidences that they didn't speak Greek? the only evidence there is , is that they spoken doric Greek. Until you find something else don't upload videos and speak bs.
The only thing I would like to advise the northern to Greece neighbour tribes is to visit the tomb of Phillip the 2nd near Veroia, Greece to realise the pure Greekness of the man therefore his son Alexander the Great as well. I appreciate a new little country ( Scopjie ) would like to grab somekind of identity in the modern world by claiming something that does not belong to them and it is annoying to say the least, to see the the statue of Alexander the Great in their main square in Scopjie, very upsetting to experience this. Of course, I do blame several Greek politicians over the years since the Tito era for not sorting this problem once and for all. Thank you.
Hmmm, evidence...about something that's obvious. It's known that northern Greece didn't have the same political evolution as the southern Greece. Thessaly, Epirus and Macedonia never evolved to city-states, but remained kingdoms. That political difference and the variety of dialects are minor. Their names for example, their names were greek. Their names mean something in greek, the written proof. Ok, I can understand that science has to question and prove everything but if someone claims that I am an elephant, should I find proof that I am not?😂
i studied latin, here in italy we are teached the ecclesiastic proununciation, so you sound sooo strange to me, bc you proununce the c like k like a guttural consonant like the k in kill, but we pronunciate it like a palatal consonant like the ch in charm
Language can be lost in just one generation . Macedonians called themselves Macedonian and thats it . Greece occupied Southern Macedonia 1913 , They destroyed everthing with the word Macedonia , even the tomb stones , then they tried to steal their history as their own lol .
Mark is not very convincing as having an Aramaic original in Mark there are some Aramaic phrases that seem to be poorly transliterated i think some of the "poor Greek" might come from using a Greek translation of OT material for the model of some of the stories that he is telling Revelation is somewhat recycling material from a Greek translation of Daniel & Ezekiel in the OT to me that seems the most likely explanation for Mark & Revelation
For anyone wondering, I (random internet stranger) can vouch for this system of learning Ancient Greek. Started in mid-March 2024 with Logos and progressively started reading Ancient Greek Alive, Athenaze, Reading Greek and Thrasymachus (also read a few chapters of Alexandros, but I do not like the greek as much and so I will read it later). I am currently at chapter 22 of Logos and I am mostly applying the system designed by Luke, works like a charm. I am super impressed with this method, even more so because the more I read (and re-read!) the simpler it becomes to understand even the new chapters. I was shocked last night when I was reading chapters 4A and 4B in Reading Greek and could understand while reading "σκιας οναρ ανθρωπος". Do not worry about the different vocabs in different books, you will end up knowing them already when they are introduced later in another book. Extensive reading is the way. Χαριν σοι εχο!
The problem here is that west many times in history did not respected international laws and start many wars and proxy wars around the world. How can putin after that trust the west? I think you understand which wars i mean
Greeks care not just because of antiquity, its also the eastern roman empires province of Macedonia was mostly greek speaking, with local bulgarian ambitions, that is the worry.
OMG, what's so special here? At my school in Europe, we learnt English from the age of 10, French, Spanish or Latin from the age of 14 and a third language, Russian or Chinese, from the age of 16.
As soon as any ship(roman) goes beyond the strait of gibralter any discovery is possible.They could continue west,south or north and find new lands.I think it could very well have happened
I wish there could be a larger push to teach languages using mostly the natural. As instead of showing text (even phonetic aids) or grammar, there would be audio recording of the word or sentence with a video of what's being said or portrayed. And then broken down to bits. And if there's instruction involved it'd only simple gestures and utterances in the target language. Or better to just have the video composed so that instruction is unnecessary. In short to learn as a kid. The reading and writing can always wait a bit until a foundations of phonetics and phonemes is firm.
