Honestly your wasting your time with those apps. I began learning latin with duolingo but it's honestly not going to teach much. Latin tutorial's videos are good for understanding latin grammar. I would suggest you invest in a book called 'Lingua latina per se illustrata pars 1 famila romana', It's really good.
@@harryjames8064 I like using Duolingo and Rosetta Stone for learning words, then I watch this for grammar, I learned Italian through those two apps and I’m pretty good at it
@@seanslawson98 I only have used duolingo for learn latin, so I don't know about using it to learn any other language. Trust me duolingo will only teach you a few quite usless phrases. Read the book I suggested it's so much better. The book is written completely in latin and tries to teach you by a natural method. The book starts by showing you a map of europe, which has names of places the romans would have called them, then the chapter begins on the next page. The first sentence is really simple, 'Roma in italiá est', rome is in italy, and it builds your vocabulary from there by using context. I sometimes use a dictionary but I try to read the sentence and figure it out myself before using a dictionary. I also love latin tutorials videos but don't over saturate yourself with grammar. Remember the romans probably didn't think much about what their language was grammatically doing when speaking to each other. Overall it's great that you learnt italian through duolingo, however the latin course isn't very good.
@@harryjames8064 well to be fair it is still considered new since it’s still in Beta, and most people who speak their native languages don’t really think about grammar, I asked a Dutch speaker about their grammar and told me they don’t know, it’s just how it is, but I did find the book on Amazon
Your 'Basic Latin Essentials' Playlist is very helpful in providing a review for students at any level in a concise, informative, and straightforward format. And because educators rock, here's a little something to show my gratitude!! Thank you!
I find datives more difficult than the other cases because they are so similar to the ablatives. You have to look for an object, but there does not always need to be one. Our school motto was 'non sibi sed omnibus' - not for oneself but for everyone. There's no object (no verb neither).
Thank you FOR the class. :) I was thinking about the idea of someday there will be an iBus, so at least one letter from Omnibus will apear once again. :P
At 9:08 you mention that there is a different “for” in that sentence. Could you one day make a video explaining that to better detail? :) I’m assuming whatever it is, it’s the same reason as to why in Latin “Prepare for war” is “Para bellum” and not “Para Bello”. Hope that’s not a stupid question. Hope you have a great day :)
In Portuguese, we say "ônibus". Well, in Brazilian Portuguese, more conservstive in some aspects. In Portugal the word is now "autocarro" (a kind of self-car).
