- This week's Classical Et Cetera is all about the "how" of Latin 101! Whether you are learning or teaching the language as a beginner, it is never too late to master the basics on your own.
Paul, Tanya, and Martin have years of experience teaching Latin in a classical education. It's not always easy, but their stories prove that anyone can do it! From flashcards and pronunciation videos, to detailed teaching guidelines and lesson plans, Memoria Press offers everything you need to both teach and learn Latin for beginners.
Latin is not just another foreign language to earn for credit, but a key to understanding our roots. It forms the basis for many English words and the Romance languages, helps with basic vocabulary and grammar, teaches precision in thought and speech, and remains highly beneficial for students in scientific, legal, and medical fields. This is not to mention its benefits for succeeding on standardized tests!

I’ve worked as a teacher in several different types of schools - International Schools, Language Schools, Christian Schools, etc. And I’ve always been asked to teach subjects I had to learn as I taught them. Only when I worked in public school was it expected that I stay in my lane and only teach the subject I was hired to teach. I think a good teacher should be able to teach anything. Even if that means learning as they teach.
2nd-day student/teacher/homeschooling MP Latin teacher here and I can't believe I'm actually doing it! I can already see how this is going to be great! I love the scripted lessons. I watched some of Tanya's other videos and her enunciation of "mastery is key" is ringing in my ears, and so we will!
I would love to hear more about people who did not have a formal education but still went on to do great things and what we can learn from them. That is encouraging and inspiring.
Congratulations to Jessica 🎉
We love MP Latin. I was nervous about teaching it for the first time but it’s my second grader’s favorite subject.
Thank you!
All you need is a basic understanding Foreign Language Methodology.
Elizabeth Gaskell is an amazing author…love her Wives and Daughters. I have loved every book of hers I have read.
Another great episode…needed that reinforcement.
When my 9 year old mentions that she does Latin people look at her like she has two heads. 😂
What happened to the previous presenter?
What if your family already speaks 3 languages, is it necessary to learn Latin as well?
To read Virgil
Which languages? Would you like them to have Latin study in their education?
I'm Brazilian. Portuguese is a Roman language, do you think is easier learn Latin than a English native speaker?
@@Tiago198441i think, at least with the way MP set up their curriculum, that Latin helps English speakers understand English better! I can't speak for Portuguese, but perhaps it would be familiar.
didn't really talk at all about how to learn latin for beginners
