  • I knew a few words in latin like fiat lux, tacet, salve but that is practically it.

  • This brings back memories from highschool. I am however surprised that after 3 years of not being in a latin course that I was able to read that story before the lesson began. I like how you made this though, very informative for the people who have no knowledge whatsoever! Nice work :)

  • I used that book in high school.

  • Is there really a good pronunciation or not? It is a dead language, its not like we can just ask Julius Cesar how he spoke the language

  • @Konatablob From history we know how the words are to be pronounced. Also, the italian language is very similar to latin. Italian is kind of like a modern latin.

  • @Halljand well yes we can get a feel for how it is, but I was talking about how a lot of people are giving this guy no credit for trying

  • can anyone tell me what that address at the bottom is? i cant get it right -.-

  • I hope you are still reading these comments. I applaud you for your work.

    I was wondering if the formatting of your video (on youtube) reflects a separate program that you are taking a screenshot from. It is very interesting.

  • I"m Canadian, I took 5 years of high school Latin and 4 more years in University as well as 2 years of Medieval Latin. The pronunciation is off a bit sometimes to my Canadian ear, but not enough to complain about. This is wonderful nostalgia for me, having started in the CLC in grade 9: and these videos can actually teach people Latin from the beginning, so there will be no complaints from me! Thank you for posting all your Latin videos!

  • MA-TER, not MAR-TA

  • The pronunciation is not the proper one. Latin is more like Latin, then English Latin.

  • MERDA EST :D

  • Every lesson is beyond fantastic.

  • I loved  translation TuTubus XD

  • No only are R's rolled but i believe the I's are pronounced - e. If you look at the alphabet you'll see this. most latin based languages today are like this. I think you'll see i'm right. The pronunciation on these videos is very english! Sorry not for me. I can imagine this is to latin as the policeman from "alo alo" is to French

  • Very good,i think it will help me very much.

  • Wow, that was truly awesome. Damn good job.

  • I'm really very impressed with this. Keep it up please.

  • Excellent videos. Keep doing more. Thanks!

  • Way helpful. Benigne.

  • @KatherineRogers

    hey Katherine why don't you just fuck off and make your own latin course rather than insult the hard work of others?

    You could have sent a friendly message informing the author of the errors in pronunciation, but no - you make public post accusing the author of "simply choosing to disregard the usual standard". Perhaps there is a different explanation. perhaps they 'simply' made a mistake, and nobody needs an agressive know-it-all bitch like you to put them down for it.

  • I find this so funny because being a Latin student I am very familiar with these stories.

  • thanks!! ! !!

  • tu est stultus asinus

  • Hi Katherine. What you are looking at here is a very early video. I learnt Latin from books, rather than a teacher, so I never learned to pronounce words correctly. Since I've started posting I've had a lot of good feedback about pronunciation and made a real effort to improve - it is ongoing - I am far from perfect. My news series - Learning Latin with Virgil - is, I think, an improvement. Cheers.

  • @TuTubusLatinus yeah I suspected the pronouncitation was not always correct but the most important thing is to read latin and have correct grammar so thanks a lot for the video.

  • @DimitryMiller That was rude dude. she obviously knows her shit and seeing as how she ignored you makes her that much more wiser in my eyes. You need a manners class more than she does. The empty can always rattles the loudest.

  • @MrTex1987

    1. No doubt she obviously knows her stuff. That wasn't the issue. The issue was her pointlessly agressive comment on a really good latin course that I very much had appreciated. Like I said, she could of been polite, but instead she was snide and belligerent. Thus, a "fuck off you irritating bitch" was a valid response.

    2. She didn't ignore me. She fucked off like I told her to = mission accomplished.

    3. Who the fuck are you anyway?

  • @DimitryMiller it's hard to infer the emotional tone of somebody's text without emotional words explicitly used. Like if I said "Fuck you," you'd know exactly what I meant

  • @DimitryMiller I thought her comment was fair enough. It didn't seem that confrontational.

    At the very least it didn;t start off with "Hey TuTubusLatinus why don't you just fuck off...?"

  • @DimitryMiller LOL U PUT THE KNOW IT ALL IN HER PLACE.

  • @DimitryMiller the way you answer does not seem any better...

  • @DimitryMiller I totally agree with you, if she does't like, she ought to go somewhere else.

  • Just to give my opinion with it, i think that if the pronunciation coming from a non romance speaker if is pronounced as good as he did it´s wonderfull cuz for us - Romance´s spearkers- is very easy but for an English speaker it will cost a litle more affort. even if learnt by him/her self, wich means more affort to understand and pronouncing. i understand you but please encourages people instead of discouraging, teach to other your knowledges and learn at the same time. :D

  • @KatherineRogers I actually applaud his proununciation of Classical Latin except for what you mentioned and the proununciation of the long I. In Latin the long I sounds more like Randi rather than pi. Actually, so called long I sound that we use in English exists in Latin as the diphthong "ae".

    I took 4 years of Latin in middle through high school, three of which were required at that particular school.

  • @KatherineRogers Mrs. Rogers, I am just farting for your stupid comment...

  • Who cares about the pronunciation! Except if you're in the Magisterium Ha!, however you bloody well spell it....I, for one, am very grateful that TTL is doing a marvelous, valient, and generous service. A Great Gift! Mahalo nui ia o 'ia from Hawai'i!

  • You are amazing and I really appreciate your time and I have learned from past languages I have learned that you should concentrate on the pronunciation later. It takes time but language is a mimic of the voice. Thanks again. :) I hope I didn't offend anyone.

  • Thanx for posting this videos! They're helping me a lot! =)

  • actualy this is much easier of you know french then if you haven't got a clue of forrein languages at all

  • by the way,i know not that many people are watching these...but you are literally my personal tutor. without you id be lost. thank your for your time that you have spent helping us :D

  • ur pronunciation is off man!

  • thats cuz he has a brittish accent.

  • Actually it's Australian

  • Agreed! The pronunciation is way off. But this is still a very useful series that should at least teach one to read some Latin.

  • Ironic.

  • This is so awesome. I love Latin. I wish it was the langua franca...

  • * lingua

  • thank you so much! (:

  • you are a god-send. thankyou!

  • These videos are what i'm looking for!

    Great!

    Keepmaking more please!

  • Nice, this is helping me a lot.

  • Gratias tibi ago quod me invitavisti.
