Latin doesn't have to be hard, and with the help of online descriptions of complicated grammatical topics, I hope it isn't. If you're a teacher, feel free to use these videos in your class, either to flip the learning, or for review. If you're a student, learn as much as you can. And stay tuned, there's much more Latin to come.
Who am I? My name is Ben Johnson and I am a high school Latin teacher in Maine, USA. Seeing that there weren't good quality Latin grammar videos on RU-vid, I began to create these videos to use as a resource for my own students. I continue to do so, both for initial instruction and review, combined with online activities. If you have a question about a topic, please leave a comment, or send me a message. I will be glad to help, time permitting.
I use the classical pronunciation of Latin, but am not perfect. Comments about pronunciation will be deleted.

This is just for me you should know. Sentence is divided onto subject and predicate first ( thus study is still called syntax), or into noun and verb( it is not possible to predicate without a verb to join the predicte with some subject or to for the verb to be principal predicate if the sentence itself). A school of thought begins with the verb another with the noun with respect to interpretation. In the sentence, "The cowardly cat caught a cold"( with some additions reveal the five parts of English sentence). 1) Verb, "caught"; 2) nouns, "cat" and "a cold"; 3) adjective "describe" the nouns and are said to be attached to their nouns, numbers are also adjectives; 4) Adverbs like "soon", "quickly" which describes the verb; 5) Propositional Phrases like "in the house".
Velim te agere multas gratias. Your videos helped me secure 90% marks in this year's Advanced Latin Prose Exam with a gold medal and summa cum laude certificate. Wouldn't have been possible without your explanatory videos.
I gotta say this video gave me a blast! I've just used it in my Latin classes here in Brazil and following the contextualization of these verses of Aeneid, I showed them a Latin version of a Brazilian song called 'Arco Íris' (Rainbow) from Xuxa that I made. My students got crazy with it. So THANK YOU!!!!
Такое ощущение что он изначально произошёл от славянского. То бишь q, x не имеют звука по произношению. W потом придумали, она вообще бессмысленна в современной парадигме.
Nope. Ptah (Egyptian god) -----> Jupiter ( Deus Ptah ) D is the 4th letter of the alphabet ( Jupiter = Thor 4, Four, for ) Far ----> Farther ("Far far") ------> Father ( Jupiter is farther than Mars, and the father of Mars )
Latin is a fake language, there was no Roman Empire. La Tin ----> Latin La Tin = "The Tin" Tin, the sacred metal of Jupiter the father of Mars Zevs ---> Iesvs ---> Jesus Ptah (Egyptian god) -----> Peter / Jupiter ( Deus Ptah ) Devs ----> Zevs D is the 4th letter of the alphabet ( Jupiter = Thor 4, Four, for ) Changed D to Z The Z is a lightning bolt www.youtube.com/@sbelobaba/videos
Kinda like German, right? Where accusaitve is activated when one wants to express the idea of motion. EX: Ich gehe in die Stadt. Stadt is feminine so the article remains die, which is the nominative article.
“As ye sow, so shall ye reap”…our ignorance is our ammunition. We are the main characters in our own lives…our higher selves are us in the future reaching back in time to assist ourselves. But if we knew that would we listen? We are the Gods. We are the alpha and omega I mean that’s what I got from the movie, how about you?
Another way to think about it is this: Instead of "I think that he is alive," You can say "I think him to be alive." Where him is obviously accusative, and "to be" is the infinitive.
Debueris, mea quidem sententia, novam quamdam seriem inchoare atque veluerim te pergere carmina Latina sicut cum Aeneide feceris explicare! Cura valeas, et gratias pro opera tua!
Due to my teacher's lack of teaching ability, I really couldn't understand what was going on, and the students book wasn't helpful either. Thank you for breaking it down!
Person places things still remain good examples of nouns not as it pertains to the definition of the noun as a whole is but as it pertains to whole to which the members of definitum, and the exclusion of abstract nouns is because not only do we know concrete better but also because the abstract is found in the concrete, as feat would remain unknown to us unless we met beings that were in fear as a sacred cat or a fearful woman. As a preparation for higher learning no need to retract person, places or things. Might want to remind non-Latin speakers that noun means name and what a word is used as is still better according to the definition of language conventionally or customarily significant auditory sign
I wouldn't say that transitive verbs DO have a direct object but that they CAN have a direct object. I could say "I'm eating" without telling you _what_ I'm eating.
Nice presentation although it would be nice if you would not rush through the whole thing and would talk in a calmly manners with some pause just to absorb and comprehend the latin cardinals. I had to go through several time to actually to understand what you are trying to teach here.
"SUUS are used to refer to the subject of the sentence." Not aways! Ex: Magister suam cuique discipulō tabulam reddit. or Marcus magistrō verba sua redit. (LLPSI)
