Learning Latin with Virgil 1

Learning Latin with Virgil is a completely new and original Latin video series. I hope to bring you engaging, effective and regular lessons to enhance your knowledge and enjoyment of Latin. In this series, the emphasis is on understanding the Latin you read, not on translating it. The course centers around the characters and the stories of the great epic work of Virgil, the Aeneid. You may like to check out the sister series, The Aeneid of Virgil, also available on the TuTubusLatinus channel.

[gome900]

is the word rogat a word that i could say towards any gender?

[TuTubusLatinus]

@gome900 Yes. Verbs do not change based on gender. Verbs change based on other things, such as the number of people performing the verb (singular or plural) and the person : 1st (I/we) 2nd (you/you pl) 3rd he:she:it/they). There are other reasons for a verb to change, but gender is not one of them.

omg thanks soooo much lol learning this for the first time is great... u explain everything in good detail. screw everyone who is talking crap. u know ur stuff and thats all that matters! haha but is it haec or heac.. u have it spelled both ways...

[TuTubusLatinus]

@efnpeachy haec - the other way is an unfortunate typo. :o)

What is minimec

and why are there dashes above words

[TuTubusLatinus]

@Scottcreek942 Dashes above words indicate the vowel is long. The lengths of vowels tell us where to put the stress in a word. minime is one way of saying no.

[TuTubusLatinus]

No my pronunciation is not perfect, but nor is it as bad as you remark. The rules of Latin pronunciation are different the world over. The pronunciation that I am doing my best to develop is called Restored Classical Pronunciation and uses rules different to the ones you describe. It is an attempt by scholars to recreate as closely as possible the actual speech of the Ancient Roman World. Oh, and to answer your question - Macquarie University in Sydney, then many years self taught. Pax.

This on-going series is a fantastic introduction to Latin that also takes you on a fascinating journey through Roman and Greek mythology. You will learn (with ample examples) how to conjugate all of the main verb forms in the present, future and infinitive tenses. The Third Conjugation (-iō) verbs are also covered, as well as important adverbs.

[CenaCypriani]

The first and second noun declensions are explained with excellent clarity. You will quickly master the nominative and accusative cases, leading on to the ablative and dative. These cases are thoroughly covered for both the first declension nouns, as well as the irregular first declension from the Greek. Both second declension masculine and neuter nouns are also explored comprehensively.

[CenaCypriani]

Various pronouns and adjectives are integrated into the teaching material, stressing the grammatical importance of the ‘rule of agreement’ with their respective nouns. Prepositions are clearly explained, incorporating various examples that take either the accusative or ablative noun forms.

[CenaCypriani]

Perhaps the best parts of this excellent and original Latin course are the fabulous stories that centre around Virgil’s ‘Aeneid’. These include: • Dido and Aeneas • Aeneas and Achates • Aeneas and Venus • Venus and Jupiter in Olympia • Aeneas and Hector’s ghost • Neptune and the Trojans • Cassandra and Ajax • Echo and Narcissus • Juno and Aeolus • Latona, Diana and Apollo. • Deucalion and Pyrrha • Daedalus and Icarus • Aegeus and Aethra • Theseus, Ariadne and the Minotaur.

[stayeducated1]

I speak French practically fluently and it's so similar to Latin! I know it is a romance language, but I didn't expect it to be this similar!!

[guyvergoddess]
