Latin is compulsory in Romania for those in the eighth grade (also grades 9-10 at the social sciences profile and for the whole high school at the philology profile), but to be honest there is no intrest at all. In general, in the eighth grade Latin teachers are the same as the Romanian teachers. As at the end of the eighth grade we have the entrance exam for high school, the teachers prefer to teach us Romanian instead of doing Latin, and for the grades they ask us to do essays about things related to the Roman Empire. If 5% of students know how to count in Latin, I would be pleasantly surprised
Interesant! I'm originally from Moldova myself, but I went to school in the US. I would have never guessed that they taught Latin in Romania, and I doubt they teach it in Moldova. I wish they did teach it better.
Extremely interesting and inspiring, as was to be expected! By the way, the majority of French students take a Latin course at some point (mostly in secondary school).
Not mostly but a lot, in US system I would say it would be like French take it in 7th grade. A lot took it for the bonuses points in tests like getting 20,5/20 (yes in France your score/grade is in 20-base) in "bac" (same word in Spanish and Abitur in German).
Wow!!! I'd leave it there, but I can't. I have to say that your channels are the perfect antidote to the poison of negativity that surrounds us.

@Pop Play Pelo menos em São Paulo-capital é uma palavra que vc ouve no máximo uma vez por mês e olhe lá. E eu não acho que isso seja tão diferente assim em outra partes do país. Acho que vc precisa ser um pouquinho mais honesto consigo mesmo e parar de tentar passar a imagem de que vc é um intelectual com um vocabulário super vasto, porque a chance disso ser real, é muito pequena.
@@Arturest Não sou um intelectual com um vocabulário vasto, até porque depois que aprendi inglês, meio que esqueci muitas palavras. Mas charmoso e charmosin (de charmosinho) não soam nada estrangeiro aos meus ouvidos. De novo, devido ao seu meio, pode sim ser algo raro, mas não que mereça tal hipérbole.
Be wary of TH-cam polyglots who claim to be able to speak crazy numbers of languages. For instance, even if you can't say much more in German than "ich habe Deutsch in Highschool gelernt," you could still count that if you want to make your number look impressive. Not trying to knock Polymathy or anything, as he clearly knows a lot, but his accomplishments shouldn't make you feel less accomplished if you "only" know (ie are conversational in) 2 or even 1 foreign language.
No did you watch the whole vid? He clearly admitted and was honest about not speaking Russian and Portugese well. (I thought he said Spanish and Romanian too, but you need to rewatch the vid to be sure). So my conclusion is that he is very honest about what languages he is fluent in and what languages he’s not fluent in.
Imagine a polymathy mega-meetup with Xiaoma, Laoshu, Simon Roper, Scott Manley (another bald space guy!), Petter Hornfeldt (aviation guy!), and Andrew Henry (ancient history guy!). It'd be a riot!

Luke, you are an inspiring man. To see someone who knows so much and likes so much stuff, and isn't an old dude, it's amazing! I appreciate your taste in music, it's very similar to mine. And also how much you love space, I would definitely watch more space videos. By the way, do you like any videogames? I've found videogames to be one of the most effective ways in which I learn languages, and I've imagined playing games in Latin and Ancient Greek hahaha. Anyways, keep on inspiring us to be modern polymaths, amazing job!

I speak Spanish but have dabbled in at least understanding Italian. I think Italian of the big 5 is the closest to Latin. I heard people argue that because it is a bit artificially constructed and with a much older base that it is closer. That makes a lot of sense to me. And definitely for accents, you have an Italian accent in the few things I have heard when you speak in Spanish which is so much better than an American accent. I think a lot of it is the stress difference.

I self studied Russian on and off for years. But for some reason, I got nowhere other than knowing how to say basic phrases like "hello my name is". It wasn't until I started visiting Russia that my Russian language abilities took off. I have been to Russia six or seven times and with each visit I learn so much. My mind remembers so much more when something actually takes place. For example, during my first visit the cab driver helps me with my luggage. As I look at the beautiful new airport terminal in Saint Petersburg, he points to it and says novyy. Then he points to the old airport terminal (no longer used) and says staryy. I now have the Russian words for new and old locked in my brain, and so goes the rest of my visits there. And the people there are so helpful when they see I've made an effort to learn Russian. I can now get by in Russia, even in neighborhoods where there aren't any English speakers. But I still wouldn't say I am fluent in Russian. Hopefully someday.
I love the Russian language. It is sooo vibrant and rich. Can’t wait to visit Mother Russia again as I love mingling with the Russians. Such awesome people!
Serbian/Croatian/Bosnian language shares many rules with Latin regarding the grammar and the letter emphasis in a word. I am sure you would be a fluent speaker of our language(s) in no time with your Russian basis (all Slavic languages share plenty of vocabulary) and expertise in Latin
In many ways, you are my role model, Mr. Scorpio! I am also a polyglot and I consider myself somewhat of a polymath as well. Your channel had helped me with improving my Latin immensely. And, in a way, it even guided me to understand some concepts which are vital to learning Modern Greek! Although, to be honest, I mostly concentrate my attention on modern languages. The list of the languages I speak is compiled by the level of fluency and comprehension (or the lack thereof, haha): Russian; English; Spanish; Portuguese; French; Italian; Esperanto; German; Catalan and Valencian; Swedish; Norwegian; Polish; Ukrainian; Latin; Modern Greek; Mandarin Chinese. Out of those, I can speak about 7 or 8 fluently and can understand about 10 or 13, depending on what you define as ''understand'' :D
Congratulations! The more I look at your videos the more I am amazed at how much we seem alike, I love language, history and am really into space as well! Super interesting! Love to see more!
Latin was part of the secondary education (which was not compulsory) in Spain when I was young (some decades ago 😏), which means that it you decided to continue studying after finishing your primary education, then you had to study Latin, no matter which other subjects you chose. And I loved the idea of learning Latin, I devoured my textbook way before we studied it in the classroom, but unfortunately, as you say, those classes were not a pleasant experience, to say the least. Which is a real pity, because I really loved learning whatever had any relation to languages, but only recently I restarted learning Latin (and you were a real and huge inspiration 👍☺️). I totally agree with you in the reasons to learn a new language: first and foremost, because it's fun. There are so many of them, and people use them to live their lives! I want to learn them! By the way, congratulations for your subscribers! 💪😄
18 languages! that's awesome! for some reason your story reminds me of a trip to Iceland I took about twenty years ago. I was with a tour group and the host had told us how most icelandic people speak not only icelandic, which she informed us was a very difficult language to learn, but most also speak Danish, German and English. I was very impressed. About day five of the trip I happened to be in a small market. I was conversing with another tourist when I was approached by a woman who asked, " Excuse me, but are you an American?" I said I was. She smiled and held up a package of Oreo's. "Can you tell me what this says?" I replied, in a very proud voice, "Those are Oreos. They're cookies." she nodded, "Yes, I know.... but what does this writing say?" I looked, then shrugged, "I don't know, it's written in Spanish." She studied me for a moment before replying, "I thought that Americans spoke Spanish as well as English." I shook my head, " No ma'am, I wish that were true." As she walked away with that shocked look on her face I vowed to myself to learn at least one language. so far I've learned Italian and am studying French. I do plan to learn Spanish one day! I want to be prepared if and when I get back to Iceland and someone needs help reading a Nabisco product!
When it comes to ancient poetry, I recently heard that the ancient Greek pattern of long-short-long-short vowels became the modern Greek iambic decapentasyllable (like for example, a more modern Greek poem would say Σαράντα πέντε μάστορες κι εξήντα μαθητάδες (but when saying it you'd also accentuate -ρες and -μα) so that syllables alternate between stressed and unstressed. And to me that honestly sounds so cool! The way that the language changed (from phonemic vowel length to equal syllables with stress accent) also changed how poetry was made!
When I was studying Chinese in Beijing, I went to this performance of Antigone that was being done in the campus theatre (in Chinese obviously), and I got to talk to a student studying French who also took Latin classes and ended up attending one of them to see what it was like. From what I'd seen they mostly read biblical Latin, but the teaching methods were really interesting to see. In most cases the teacher ended up speaking a mix of Latin, English (because the book they used was in English) and Chinese.
5:14 Totally agree, I am currently having my Matura (Similar to A Levels) and I have studied Latin for 3 school years almost exclusively based on that Grammar Translation method and I am quite terrible. I found your channel looking for advice regarding learning the latin language and I will start with Lingua Latina per illustrata very soon because I really want to be able to speak and fluently read Latin as I am fairly interested in History! Thank you for what you provide to us all on your channels!
It's like your face doesn't end; it just merges into your body. Anyway, congratulations on your achievements with languages man, that's a truly incredible thing and a real inspiration. Great video.
I knew about your channel due to the latin/ancient greek content. I was expecting to see that you know a lot of European languages (especially romance ones), but the Japanese came up quite unexpectedly at the very beginning.
Fantastic to see you able to speak so many languages. You remind me of my Arabic professor in my university times. 12 languages spoken perfectly XD A brilliant man, for sure. Nice to see more people being able to speak so many languages and do it with so much passion. Fericitari si numai bine! :D
0:12 - 01:04 That's super impressive! I'm focusing entirely on French and Arabic but after a few years (or a decade) of mastering those, hopefully I can learn like 3 or 4 languages between Spanish, Turkish, Persian, Urdu, Pashto, Tajik, Uzbek, Hindi, Telugu, etc. Aside from getting content out of talking with Tom Hiddleston, you should find a way to get in contact with Viggo Mortensen, who seems like the master of all languages. I think he knows at least 8 fluently (with perfect regional dialects) and then some.
Félicitations! Your answer to "why learn languages" made me think of the quote "la langue est l'âme d'un peuple" :) I'm looking forward to some space content, and if I may offer a suggestion dinosaurs are pretty cool too (did the ancient world knew about them???)
Hi, what a surprise, you can also speak Portuguese. It is my native language but my accent is of Brazilian Portuguese. I love your videos, they are very instructive and a great inspiration. I have recentely begun studying Latin with the book you recommended, Familia Romana. Excellent advise, I am really enjoying it. I am currently taking courses on Russian and German. Language learning is my passion. Bye.
Is amazing how your channel has grown! Congratulations 🎉 Hope someday I can speak as many languages as you do! Is my lifetime goal 🙌 Now I feel inspired to continue studying😎
I've learned Latin first via the Grammatical Translation Method for four years and I fell in love with it. So if the teacher presents it the right way, I think the students benefit a lot from it and there is no harm in keeping teaching with this method.

Latin is compulsory in Romania for those in the eighth grade (also grades 9-10 at the social sciences profile and for the whole high school at the philology profile), but to be honest there is no intrest at all. In general, in the eighth grade Latin teachers are the same as the Romanian teachers. As at the end of the eighth grade we have the entrance exam for high school, the teachers prefer to teach us Romanian instead of doing Latin, and for the grades they ask us to do essays about things related to the Roman Empire.
If 5% of students know how to count in Latin, I would be pleasantly surprised
Interesant! I'm originally from Moldova myself, but I went to school in the US. I would have never guessed that they taught Latin in Romania, and I doubt they teach it in Moldova. I wish they did teach it better.

Your Russian pronunciation is great! Good luck with slavic languages :)
Привет из Санкт-Петербурга! Спасибо за такой чудесный канал о древних языках
Extremely interesting and inspiring, as was to be expected! By the way, the majority of French students take a Latin course at some point (mostly in secondary school).
Oh it’s Monoglossia! one of my favorite channels! 🤩 Thanks so much! You two inspire me all the time.
Aww thank you so much! 😊
Not mostly but a lot, in US system I would say it would be like French take it in 7th grade.
A lot took it for the bonuses points in tests like getting 20,5/20 (yes in France your score/grade is in 20-base) in "bac" (same word in Spanish and Abitur in German).
Поздравляю! Желаю успехов и миллион подписчиков!
Wow!!! I'd leave it there, but I can't. I have to say that your channels are the perfect antidote to the poison of negativity that surrounds us. I think I'm going to exchange social media and news for these videos. Your work in languages and your multiple interests fill me with enthusiasm! Thank you!
Thanks very much! Heh there are a couple times I’ve done some “rants” on this channel, so I hope they don’t put you off too much. Here is an example: th-cam.com/video/IjcX3MVSdyA/w-d-xo.html
But they’re few and far between. Thanks for being here
Charmoso português, Luke! Saudações do Brasil
Charmoso? Essa palavra é tão raramente usada, que soa como um argentino que aprendeu português kkkk
@@Arturest Mas o Luke é charmosão mesmo, fazer o que? hahaha
@@Arturest “Charmoso” é uma palavra tão rara assim no seu meio? O que constitui o vocabulário das pessoas com quem você fala? 20 palavras?
@Pop Play Pelo menos em São Paulo-capital é uma palavra que vc ouve no máximo uma vez por mês e olhe lá. E eu não acho que isso seja tão diferente assim em outra partes do país. Acho que vc precisa ser um pouquinho mais honesto consigo mesmo e parar de tentar passar a imagem de que vc é um intelectual com um vocabulário super vasto, porque a chance disso ser real, é muito pequena.
@@Arturest Não sou um intelectual com um vocabulário vasto, até porque depois que aprendi inglês, meio que esqueci muitas palavras. Mas charmoso e charmosin (de charmosinho) não soam nada estrangeiro aos meus ouvidos. De novo, devido ao seu meio, pode sim ser algo raro, mas não que mereça tal hipérbole.
every body that speaks 2 or 3 languages : Now i got the comand here
Polymathy : I speak 11 languages and know pieces of 30 other languages
Be wary of TH-cam polyglots who claim to be able to speak crazy numbers of languages. For instance, even if you can't say much more in German than "ich habe Deutsch in Highschool gelernt," you could still count that if you want to make your number look impressive.
Not trying to knock Polymathy or anything, as he clearly knows a lot, but his accomplishments shouldn't make you feel less accomplished if you "only" know (ie are conversational in) 2 or even 1 foreign language.
Are his 10 languages good enough though?
@@Arturest lets make 120 out of it
12 languages. He also is fluent in English.
No did you watch the whole vid?
He clearly admitted and was honest about not speaking Russian and Portugese well. (I thought he said Spanish and Romanian too, but you need to rewatch the vid to be sure).
So my conclusion is that he is very honest about what languages he is fluent in and what languages he’s not fluent in.
Obrigado pelo vídeo Luke. És uma inspiração para amantes de idiomas.
Thank you for everything you do.
Obrigado!
You're amazing! Thanks for sharing with us all your knowledge!
Molto gentile! Grazie per esserci
Imagine a polymathy mega-meetup with Xiaoma, Laoshu, Simon Roper, Scott Manley (another bald space guy!), Petter Hornfeldt (aviation guy!), and Andrew Henry (ancient history guy!). It'd be a riot!
Haha that would be rad
yea sadly laoshu cannot be in that possibly the most awesome collab ever.. rip legend
Oriental pearl (anming), Matt versus Japan
RIP Laoshu 😢
Laoshu died in a car accident months ago (if I remember correctly), unfortunately we could be never able to see him again.
Hola, qué tal estás? my name's Brian from Philippines. l've been studying Spanish since last year and your videos have inspired me so much, muchas gracias de verdad y enhorabuena!
In Romanian he said "I can understand Romanian, a bit". It's amazing to see your skills and dedication ♥️♥️♥️
Mulțumesc mult
Amazing! A huge bravo on your achievement, I wish you're with us for many more years to come and that your channel continues to grow!
PS amazing transition from Modern Greek to Ancient Greek 😂
θέλω να μιλάω στα νέα ελληνικά αλλά ῥᾷον ἐστὶ μοι τῇ ἀρχαίᾳ ἑλληνικῇ γλώττῃ διαλέγεσθαι
Thanks my friend! I’m very grateful for your support in these kind comments. I’m always glad to read them.
Luke, you are an inspiring man. To see someone who knows so much and likes so much stuff, and isn't an old dude, it's amazing! I appreciate your taste in music, it's very similar to mine. And also how much you love space, I would definitely watch more space videos. By the way, do you like any videogames? I've found videogames to be one of the most effective ways in which I learn languages, and I've imagined playing games in Latin and Ancient Greek hahaha. Anyways, keep on inspiring us to be modern polymaths, amazing job!
Thanks so much! That's a good suggestion.
your portuguese is amazing man, congrats from Brazil!
Seu inglês tbm 😀🤙
Îmi place că vorbești limba română. Este limba mea preferată. Congratulations on 50k!
Și eu ador limba română!
Salut Tiffany! Ca și român, mă bucură afirmația ta și îți mulțumesc pentru ea. Ce îți place așa mult despre limba română?
@@AndreiIorgulescu Este foarte frumoasă și sună minunată. Îmi place în special vocabularul. Dacă sunt sincer, am început să studiez limba română din cauza lui Vlad al III-lea.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. It's great to know more about you.
Thanks for watching! I’m just a guy who makes videos, so I’m flattered people are interested at all.
One think I like about you is your voice, and smoothness of delivery. You're easy to listen to and like.
That's kind of you
Jos pălăria, Luke! Îți urez tot succesul din lume, chiar îl meriți!
I was going to congratulate you on 50k subscribers, and then I realized this was posted 2 months ago, and you’ve gained nearly 30k subscribers since then! Félicitations on all of your success! Tu mérites tout ça! Bonjour from Louisiana!
Merci!
Congratulations to your (well deserved and happy) subscribers! 🎉🎊😘👏👏🎊🤗🤗
I speak Spanish but have dabbled in at least understanding Italian. I think Italian of the big 5 is the closest to Latin. I heard people argue that because it is a bit artificially constructed and with a much older base that it is closer. That makes a lot of sense to me.
And definitely for accents, you have an Italian accent in the few things I have heard when you speak in Spanish which is so much better than an American accent. I think a lot of it is the stress difference.
I saw you today on Jackson Crawford's video.
You've got yourself another subscriber.
Main reason is because i really like how down to earth you are about your knowledge.

I just realized i haven't subscribed to this channel but the other one.
I'm going to subscribe to this one as well ☺️
Finally, another person that grew up with Classical Music and Beetles! When I was a kid, I couldn't even sleep, unless I'd listened to some Vivaldi or Tchaikovsky.
Congratulations on your 50K subscribers! You truly deserve it 🎉🎊
You are inspiring
Thanks! Very kind
Great video, very insightful! You deserve 1,000,000 subs, Luchino!
I really liked this video, I've had to watch it twice!
BTW
I firstly discovered Luc when I was looking for modern songs in Latin, then I started to watch ScorpioMartianus channel (I was sure Luc was an Italian who teaches Lain)
Than I found PolyMaty and I was like "WHAT! He is an English speaker??" 😂😂
😃
Oh man the mention of Billy Joel now has me really wanting a Latin cover of "We Didn't Start the Fire" detailing the end of the Republic
Great idea!
Luke, you've been class since I first started following you a few years ago with your videos on Original Pronunciation! Thanks to you, you also got me right into Latin and, moreover, Classical Latin! Both of your channels are excellent!
All the best from Krakow, Poland
"Why do you study Latin if it's no use for you?" God how often have I heard this question! And I'm always like "BECAUSE IT'S BEAUTIFUL AND STUDYING LATIN FILLS MY HEART WITH IMMESURABLE JOY"
Congratulations for your 50.000 subscribers. I'm always fascinated from people that are speaking more than one language, very impressive!
I'm Greek admirer 🇬🇷
Καλή συνέχεια στο ευχάριστο ταξίδι της γνώσης γλωσσών 🙂
Ευχαριστώ!
As a fellow language nerd, I am so grateful for the work you put into this channel. Joual is the closest Romance language to Latin. Pig Latin is a close second.
Man you are my hero. You really are! As someone who loves languages too I feel nothing but the biggest respect and admiration for people like you who inspire me to work harder on my languages. Thank you!

For me as a Brazilian, seeing the Portuguese flag instead of the Brazilian one makes me so sad hahah but I love Portugal anyway :)
@@Arturest I don't know why would it make you sad. The language is Portuguese. It should simply have no effect on you, because it's just logical.
Inspirador Video para estudiar Latin! Enhorabuena por el éxito en TH-cam. Muchas gracias Lucius Amadeus por compartir tu visión y experiencia personal en la constelación de los idiomas. Viva la conexión con Escorpión y los Marcianos. ; )
You aren't a person, you are the whole Google Translator. I just thought you spoke latin and german, i got very surprised.
Very kind! I spend most of my time on Latin, Italian, and Ancient Greek so the rest are quite rusty.
Vidéo géniale ! Merci pour avoir partagé tes riches pensées. Bonjour de France, Luke !
Merci beaucoup, mon ami!
Wow Lucas....12 languages!!!!!! You are amazing!!!!

I self studied Russian on and off for years. But for some reason, I got nowhere other than knowing how to say basic phrases like "hello my name is". It wasn't until I started visiting Russia that my Russian language abilities took off. I have been to Russia six or seven times and with each visit I learn so much. My mind remembers so much more when something actually takes place. For example, during my first visit the cab driver helps me with my luggage. As I look at the beautiful new airport terminal in Saint Petersburg, he points to it and says novyy. Then he points to the old airport terminal (no longer used) and says staryy. I now have the Russian words for new and old locked in my brain, and so goes the rest of my visits there. And the people there are so helpful when they see I've made an effort to learn Russian. I can now get by in Russia, even in neighborhoods where there aren't any English speakers. But I still wouldn't say I am fluent in Russian. Hopefully someday.
Baldandbankrupt method
good luck, hopefully you can keep learning after russia opens back up someday
I love the Russian language. It is sooo vibrant and rich. Can’t wait to visit Mother Russia again as I love mingling with the Russians. Such awesome people!
Congratulations on 50K. I enjoy your channel. I’m a monoglot!! (I can keep myself fed and out of prison in French and Spanish, but only barely.)
That’s all you need! Haha
Yo! I'm in an a cappella group, too!
Congrats, bro!!!
Todah rabbah, my man!
Serbian/Croatian/Bosnian language shares many rules with Latin regarding the grammar and the letter emphasis in a word. I am sure you would be a fluent speaker of our language(s) in no time with your Russian basis (all Slavic languages share plenty of vocabulary) and expertise in Latin
In many ways, you are my role model, Mr. Scorpio!
I am also a polyglot and I consider myself somewhat of a polymath as well.
Your channel had helped me with improving my Latin immensely. And, in a way, it even guided me to understand some concepts which are vital to learning Modern Greek!
Although, to be honest, I mostly concentrate my attention on modern languages.
The list of the languages I speak is compiled by the level of fluency and comprehension (or the lack thereof, haha):
Russian;
English;
Spanish;
Portuguese;
French;
Italian;
Esperanto;
German;
Catalan and Valencian;
Swedish;
Norwegian;
Polish;
Ukrainian;
Latin;
Modern Greek;
Mandarin Chinese.
Out of those, I can speak about 7 or 8 fluently and can understand about 10 or 13, depending on what you define as ''understand'' :D
Congratulations!
The more I look at your videos the more I am amazed at how much we seem alike, I love language, history and am really into space as well! Super interesting!
Love to see more!
Definitely would be cool to watch some videos in Latin on latest news about Mars exploration.
Will do!
Latin was part of the secondary education (which was not compulsory) in Spain when I was young (some decades ago 😏), which means that it you decided to continue studying after finishing your primary education, then you had to study Latin, no matter which other subjects you chose.
And I loved the idea of learning Latin, I devoured my textbook way before we studied it in the classroom, but unfortunately, as you say, those classes were not a pleasant experience, to say the least. Which is a real pity, because I really loved learning whatever had any relation to languages, but only recently I restarted learning Latin (and you were a real and huge inspiration 👍☺️).
I totally agree with you in the reasons to learn a new language: first and foremost, because it's fun.
There are so many of them, and people use them to live their lives! I want to learn them!
By the way, congratulations for your subscribers! 💪😄
Урааа! Свершилось, Наш Лука, поздравляю:)
Congrats brother you deserve it 🤌🥂
Thanks!
I enjoyed the whole video.
Thanks so much! I’m glad
Síđan øll svara tær á sínum egna máli, lat meg bert siga takk fyri gott tilfar! Sera inspirerandi 👌🇫🇴
18 languages! that's awesome! for some reason your story reminds me of a trip to Iceland I took about twenty years ago. I was with a tour group and the host had told us how most icelandic people speak not only icelandic, which she informed us was a very difficult language to learn, but most also speak Danish, German and English. I was very impressed. About day five of the trip I happened to be in a small market. I was conversing with another tourist when I was approached by a woman who asked, " Excuse me, but are you an American?" I said I was. She smiled and held up a package of Oreo's. "Can you tell me what this says?" I replied, in a very proud voice, "Those are Oreos. They're cookies." she nodded, "Yes, I know.... but what does this writing say?" I looked, then shrugged, "I don't know, it's written in Spanish." She studied me for a moment before replying, "I thought that Americans spoke Spanish as well as English." I shook my head, " No ma'am, I wish that were true." As she walked away with that shocked look on her face I vowed to myself to learn at least one language. so far I've learned Italian and am studying French. I do plan to learn Spanish one day! I want to be prepared if and when I get back to Iceland and someone needs help reading a Nabisco product!
Impressive. A real polyglot.
Congrats. 🎉
Thanks! very kind
When it comes to ancient poetry, I recently heard that the ancient Greek pattern of long-short-long-short vowels became the modern Greek iambic decapentasyllable (like for example, a more modern Greek poem would say Σαράντα πέντε μάστορες κι εξήντα μαθητάδες (but when saying it you'd also accentuate -ρες and -μα) so that syllables alternate between stressed and unstressed. And to me that honestly sounds so cool! The way that the language changed (from phonemic vowel length to equal syllables with stress accent) also changed how poetry was made!
It’s a very interesting change! Modern Greek is gorgeous, and so are the ancient varieties.
Ave, Luke! Morituri te salutant y admire you from muy lejos countries!
Loved how you waxed poetic, more specifically about Tolkien. And about flying, reminded me of Richard Bach. Practically everything. Congratulations!
When I was studying Chinese in Beijing, I went to this performance of Antigone that was being done in the campus theatre (in Chinese obviously), and I got to talk to a student studying French who also took Latin classes and ended up attending one of them to see what it was like. From what I'd seen they mostly read biblical Latin, but the teaching methods were really interesting to see. In most cases the teacher ended up speaking a mix of Latin, English (because the book they used was in English) and Chinese.
Bravo Luke! Continua così!
5:14 Totally agree, I am currently having my Matura (Similar to A Levels) and I have studied Latin for 3 school years almost exclusively based on that Grammar Translation method and I am quite terrible. I found your channel looking for advice regarding learning the latin language and I will start with Lingua Latina per illustrata very soon because I really want to be able to speak and fluently read Latin as I am fairly interested in History! Thank you for what you provide to us all on your channels!
It's like your face doesn't end; it just merges into your body.
Anyway, congratulations on your achievements with languages man, that's a truly incredible thing and a real inspiration. Great video.
I knew about your channel due to the latin/ancient greek content. I was expecting to see that you know a lot of European languages (especially romance ones), but the Japanese came up quite unexpectedly at the very beginning.
Fantastic to see you able to speak so many languages. You remind me of my Arabic professor in my university times. 12 languages spoken perfectly XD A brilliant man, for sure. Nice to see more people being able to speak so many languages and do it with so much passion. Fericitari si numai bine! :D
0:12 - 01:04 That's super impressive! I'm focusing entirely on French and Arabic but after a few years (or a decade) of mastering those, hopefully I can learn like 3 or 4 languages between Spanish, Turkish, Persian, Urdu, Pashto, Tajik, Uzbek, Hindi, Telugu, etc.
Aside from getting content out of talking with Tom Hiddleston, you should find a way to get in contact with Viggo Mortensen, who seems like the master of all languages. I think he knows at least 8 fluently (with perfect regional dialects) and then some.
Félicitations!
Your answer to "why learn languages" made me think of the quote "la langue est l'âme d'un peuple" :)
I'm looking forward to some space content, and if I may offer a suggestion dinosaurs are pretty cool too (did the ancient world knew about them???)
Hi, what a surprise, you can also speak Portuguese. It is my native language but my accent is of Brazilian Portuguese. I love your videos, they are very instructive and a great inspiration. I have recentely begun studying Latin with the book you recommended, Familia Romana. Excellent advise, I am really enjoying it. I am currently taking courses on Russian and German. Language learning is my passion. Bye.
Felicitări!! Congratulations! Grattis! Sincerely, your subscriber from Romania.

I'd love to see you do some videos on the early history of astronomy!
hi from Croatia :D we have latin in some high schools tooo :)
Is amazing how your channel has grown! Congratulations 🎉
Hope someday I can speak as many languages as you do! Is my lifetime goal 🙌
Now I feel inspired to continue studying😎
Thanks so much! You can do it!
I've learned Latin first via the Grammatical Translation Method for four years and I fell in love with it. So if the teacher presents it the right way, I think the students benefit a lot from it and there is no harm in keeping teaching with this method.
From one polymath to another: Excellent!!!
Grātiās!
So incredible. You're an inspiration!
