Your channel is amazing dude, keep up the good work
Why you don’t read the dittongo ? And said Romae and Rome? Thanks
Gemello twin geminae
It was so interesting, guys! Thank you for this! I wish we could all speak Latin as easily as Luke, it is so beautiful to hear him! I am Spanish and I speak also English, French, some German, and I am currently learning Italian (I follow Davide’s channel). Sadly, I have studied only 1 year of Latin in high school, but I really loved it. Unfortunately we had to learn everything by memory, because it is difficult and it was only the basics. I usually nailed it and people asked me how I could memorize everything. The truth is that I made songs with the declinations and the verbs and I imagined a different journey, ( as it was a music video visiting a village, a countryside, etc.), then each part had a particular place and a sound associated. I still remember some parts! While living abroad it was a bit frustrating to speak English with people whose maternal language was a Romance one, so we sometimes spoke our own language and try to understand each other. It was fun to check how much we could understand and at the end I am trying to learn them all! Latin is definitely on my list! I enjoy so much this channel :) ! And I agree that Rome is a wonderful city! I have read and study so much about its history, that the first time I went to the Forum it was like a Disneyland for me, I saw it living in my head and I didn’t want to leave! I wish I could live there one day.
@@arelendil7 That's a cool memorization technique! It sounds sort of similar to the "memory palace" technique Giordano Bruno used.
Why don't you do a prank where you walk out of somewhere in ancient robes and slippers and act all confused as if you've time traveled?
That made me smile
That would be so awesome
A good idea 🥰
yes
Great idea
My experience went the other way around - can a Latin speaker understand Italian?
Being a native Slovak speaker, at the age of 18 I had some negligible knowledge of basic Spanish when I got into medical school. I went through a 1-year course of medical Latin, which is actually not aimed at being able to have a conversation, but rather just understanding medical terminology. It was also highly mixed with ancient Greek because medical terminology uses a kind of mixture of both. A year later, I traveled to Italy for the first time, listening to the local radio stations in the car, and I was able to understand most of what they were saying. I was quite surprised by that.
Davide speaking English with a spot on American accent lol
I really enjoyed this experiment. I know some Italian, more French and less Spanish and next to zero Latin, but it was really interesting watching you fathom out how to communicate together. Humanity doing what it’s done for centuries and working out how to socialise.
This is remarkable, because it would be difficult for a speaker of English to understand Middle English, as it was spoken from 1150 to 1470.
Grazie, Luke, per questo splendido video ed esperimento. Io stesso sto studiando il latino attraverso il metodo Dowling (grazie al tuo video!) e presto comincerò LLPSI. Nel frattempo cerco di abituarmi il più possibile al latino scritto e orale, quindi questo tipo di video è l'ideale. Inoltre, la tua precisione nella pronuncia e la ricchezza del tuo vocabolario sono una risorsa incredibile. Grazie mille, spero di poter ascoltare molti altri video simili mentre parli finanche del più e del meno, purché in latino! 😂
"can a law student understand Latin?"
Quite possibly
If well versed in the legal phrases and the Justinian Code, most definitely I'd imagine.
Fascinating to read the subtitles and listen as Latin similarities to English leap out at me. Love this!
With absolutely no training, I was able to understand a little bit of the Latin spoken without subtitles but it’s definitely very different from Spanish. I love the way it’s spoken!
Me, an italian watching an American and an Italian speaking Latin while I'm doing my ancient Greek homework: Aρχé
I’m Italian and I‘ve understood all
Sono tedesco, ed anch'io ho capito tutto :-)
@@investmentgammler4550 ma cos’hai capito hahahah? Con questo voglio dire che il latino non è tanto diverso dall’italiano, e poi un italiano o uno studente straniero che ha imparato l’italiano lo capirebbe senza doversi studiare un intero vocabolario di latino
@polýMATHY Luke, have you ever considered doing talks and lectures about how it's important to study Latin in the way you encourage everyone to, which is trying to comprehend the language and to get some degree of fluency in speaking it, instead of putting every single sentence through the lens of translation? In the country I live in, for instance (the Netherlands), Latin is only taught as an extra subject in the Dutch equivalent of middle and high school (and even then only when you're doing the highest level of education). Most people that aren't already interested in learning Latin this way won't find themselves getting recommendations for your videos on their home feed. Perhaps giving talks internationally will spark a bit of interest in some people or lead them to the conclusion that the translatory method isn't the best way to study Latin. I would love to hear how you feel about that.
Enjoying much this conversation, Latin is fantastic
please visit Latin America, i would love to see Mexicans, Brazilians, Cubans, Argentinians, etc trying Latin ! ! !
One carthaginian disliked this video.
Macteee! Nesciebam Davidem latinam linguam discere atque etiam loqui posse. Laudo! Atque ego aliquid didici: nesciebam usurpari posse verbum "patria" pro "terra"! Luci, quomodo Amatricianam non nosti!! :-D Delicatissima est, gustes suadeo! Sed Carbonariam nusquam meliorem edi quam apud Stephanum. Et mihi placet retinere verba cuiusdam ciborum in lingua originali, e.g. semper pastam dicimus. Et: GRATIAS, quod canalem meum in initio nominasti!! :-)
Certē tē laudāvī! ut semper! 😃
@@polyMATHY_Luke Et ego te! Invicem igitur laudamur 😀
Cum audīrem tantum neque spectārem, valdē difficile erat mihi vōcēs vestrās dīnōscere, nesciō quā dē causā.
Thank you Luke and Davide for this video, it was nice watching you speak Latin among clueless people 😆 I wondered what Luke thinks of Davide's pronunciation though, as to my Italian ears it feels like a very natural (despite unusual, being classical) Latin pronunciation, especially considering vowels which don't get as much length or "quantity" as Luke's despite retaining their clear and correct (mostly? I guess?) sound. This makes me think about all the different regional takes on Italian pronunciation, where vowels are opened or closed depending mostly of latitude but also other factors, and these speakers may still be recognised as proper Italian speakers. Was it the same for italic peoples when they took Latin as their language?
Oooh! "Mihi placet __" sounds like "Mi piace __" in Italian.
Having only studied Latin cursorily (using Wikipedia and Wiktionary), I'm surprised at how much of the spoken Latin I actually understand - I've taken Italian and Spanish so that's probably why.
Or "Îmi place" in Romanian.
im from italy and i understand latin
Had to lol at "Barbarus sonus". ;) ... He just took the Italian "sono" and replaced the "o" with an "us", because he had to do that with substantives. ("Barbarus sum" was what he meant to say.) It's a lovely conversation.
No he meant to say barbarus sonus, as in, "barbaric sound", he was describing the way a word sounded. If he didn't know the Latin word and was converting from Italian, he probably would have said suonus, from Italian suono, but it sounds like he was already familiar with the word.
@@sameash3153 ok
Io adoro sto ragazzooooo
Dovrebbero darti la cittadinanza onoraria di Roma!
Ahah accetterei
a well educated italian with a good basis on Latin and studing for at least a couple of years maybe yes
More than 20 years ago, the ultra-conservative Colombian government had catholic classes instituted in all public schools. The priests taught us basic Latin language, religion and the lifestyle of the Romans back then. I found that class pointless but so many years later, I can understand these guys pretty well !!! …Is interesting how our minds catch the information better when you’re younger, even if you were not paying attention. 😊😊😊
che braviiii bello, non so niente di latino ma ho potuto capire abbastanza
my father asked about the pronunciation of the word "placet", he remembers from his old studies that it's with the soft C and in this video you say it with the hard C, kind of like "plachet". what's your opinion luke?
That's the restored Classical or Ancient Roman pronunciation. Both C and G were likely hard consonants in front of all the vowels.
When they speak it keeps reminding me of Centurion from For Honor and I imagine these guys are just retired Centurions talking about their days in the army of Rome
I am italian and I think thst I know only fifteen or twenty words il latin
It was a pleasure to make (yet) another video with you, Luke! Clearly my Latin needs some improvement. Howver, it was fascinating for me to realize I can understand you with little difficulty, which means I've had enough comprehensible input (mostly coming from you and Familia Romana haha), and yet - as it's often in the case when one's learning a foreign language - my speaking is pretty bad. In order to speak well you need to speak a lot, as we all know, and in that regard Latin is just like any language!
I think you’re at an excellent stage. It was great to showcase to people who far Familia Romana can take them. Grātiās!
Immo, laudo te, Davide! Scilicet multum loqui necesse est ut quamcumque linguam discas, sed iam, ut Lucius dicit, bonum gradum es adeptus! Nesciebam te omnino linguam latinam discere. Gaudeo :-)
I studied Latin (the Italian way, only through texts) for 5 years in High School (liceo linguistico) but I'm proud to say I was able to understand your conversation pretty easily. I've watched most of Luke's videos, so I can say I'm accustomed to his way of speaking Latin (sooo clear), but that's the only "training" I recently had. In terms of speaking it myself, I would've had even more difficulties than you with grammar, but at least I would have been able to communicate a bit, somehow.
@Omar beh la mia prof era molto severa, quindi negli anni qualcosa mi è rimasto, come anche un certo interesse che, unito a una predisposizione di base per le lingue, fa sì che mi ricordi molte cose. Ma non dico di poterlo usare bene, solo di potermela cavare (forse).
In English "Grammar School" (called, generally, gymnasium in the continent - secondary school) the boys have this rhyme:
Latin is dead
As dead as it can be
It killed the ancient Romans
And now it's killing me
(Limerick metre)
@polýMATHY Luke, have you ever considered doing talks and lectures about how it's important to study Latin in the way you encourage everyone to, which is trying to comprehend the language and to get some degree of fluency in speaking it, instead of putting every single sentence through the lens of translation? In the country I live in, for instance (the Netherlands), Latin is only taught as an extra subject in the Dutch equivalent of middle and high school (and even then only when you're doing the highest level of education).

Perhaps giving talks internationally will spark a bit of interest in some people or lead them to the conclusion that the translatory method isn't the best way to study Latin. I would love to hear how you feel about that.
Every single one of my Italian tutors is about to watch this video and get angry, they've all expressed to me the frustration at studying Latin for X amount of years and not being able to construct a single sentence. It really speaks to the efficacy of LLPSI (as well as Davide's outstanding linguistic capacity!)
That's because most "learning" of Latin in Italy is just translation. Translation doesn't teach intuitive language acquisition skills, and is an obstacle to it.
@@polyMATHY_Luke Vero!Quel poco che riesco a comprendere,più che altro lo intuisco
@@polyMATHY_Luke Pretty much all the schools and universities in europe teach latin like that. I am going through the same thing right now and putting in extra effort in order to learn latin like a living language and speak and hear as much of it as I can
@@polyMATHY_Luke I get the impression from following academic classicists that many of them regard the idea of teaching converstional Latin as something of a distraction from the subject. I suspect at least part of the reason is that not many of them actually have fluent Latin.
The thing is that studying the literature is both easier and more enjoyable when you can actually speak the language at least to a limited extent. I remember at school being tortured by the difficulties of the Aeneid. It didn't help that the concept of vowel length was only introduced at the beginning of the third year as something we would need to know about to be able to scan poetry. So for the first two years of school Latin we were taught to mispronounce almost everything.
It was only decades later when I decided to relearn my almost forgotten Latin purely as a hobby, and eventually tackled Virgil again, that I discovered for myself how wonderful his poetry is and what an unparalleled genius he was.
Davide did really well by the way. It's not easy being thrown in at the deep end like that.
@@CrazyChickenFarmer if you havent already check out "getting started with Latin" it is a book written specifically for homeschool and self taught latin. The author William Linney also has a website and youtube page and an app for doing drill's. The RUclips page has Classical and ecclesiastical pronounciation as well as more advanced lessons with homework and reading lists for when you finish the book.
When Davide said, “I’m a lazy learner.” I thought oh he’s one us. He’s just a normal, real person.
Oh yeah, totally
I don't think there's anything with his method - he has done very well for someone who has just read Familia Romana.
Sometimes the lazy method is the best one.
@@PodcastItaliano the lazy method can really be the best for some of us who want to learn in a slow organic manner, kinda like how you would expect children to learn (at a much slower rate, that is).
I speak 7 languages to varying degrees and active learning has helped me only in a couple of ways, mostly just to clear some things up that annoyed me. (Read that as: things my brain would just never get right, without some linguistics read-ups on the topic).
Also, that said I am a linguist by profession so my methods might not resemble that of someone who is not interested in my field of studies.
Davide may be a “lazy learner”, but man o man, his English is impressive!!!
For a native Italian, he is 100% fluent in English, with a “perfect” American accent!
@@Nicholas.T Absolutely he has a great english accent.
You should do "Can italian students from liceo classico understand spoken latin?" (I am one)
This is in the works
Ci ho pensato pure io, sarebbe interessante fare un meeting online, ma non so se Luke ne sarebbe disposto...
@@polyMATHY_Luke niceee
Well, it's easier to understand a language than to speak it as we all have a better passive than active understanding of a language. It would be more interesting to see if they can speak it, maybe write in it, generally use it actively.
@@polyMATHY_Luke yeyyy🙌 but after that....a latin verb conjugations test for you😂😜😜😜
My favorite Latin teacher told me he was once on holiday somewhere far away and he met a couple, but they had no common language. Except the husband was also a Latin teacher...
So, naturally they spoke and joked in Latin. It always amazed me.
Now do "can an italian latin student understand Latin?"
Most cannot.
The real test
In Italy all people study the ecclesiastical pronunciation. The firt time I heard Scorpio Matianus speaking Latin, it was very hard because I didn't recognize the words. Now I understand the 85%
Please do - I was a student of Latin at school (despite studying it for 8ys vs the usual 2-5) and can understand pretty much everything of what Luke says. I'm curious to know how 5th graders in the Italian liceo Classico schools handle it!

Una grande differenza fra questa conversazione e diversi testi dell’antichità, e che qui capiamo subito quali sono gli argomenti trattati e possiamo seguire il filo del discorso. Mentre in diversi testi antichi, si tratta di eventi politici o culturali dell’epoca, con allusioni che non conosciamo a pieno e quindi più difficile capire dove vanno a parare.
Aggiungerei: questa è una conversazione, quelli sono testi.
Ci sono sempre delle differenze tra orale e scritto.
Minchia davide parla benissimo inglese
Come americano, sono molto sorpreso che l'accento di Davide sia molto simile al mio.
It reminded me an old family story about my grandma's Latin teacher, who brought his son to the Latin class in the medical university, and they started a regular conversation in Latin. The students immediately decided that they must have been freaks and lunatics, because normally they had worked with the classical texts only and never treated Latin a spoken language.
Many people think that innovation isn't good to study old stuff. Not very smart.
Are you Latin teacher, too?
Awesome video. I speak Italian reasonably well now. Latin is the next language I want to learn. 😊
As a Romanian it bothers me how close I am to understanding spoken latin.
It's like I understand 60% of the words, but the meaning sometimes gets mixed up.
There were a few times there where I understand whole sentences without any issue then some voodoo latin grammar enters the ring and i'm lost. lol

Hai ragione. Lunghe e corte vocali sono un essenziale parte del latino.
The book's title itself is the same as it would be in Spanish -- i.e., familia romana. I understood the gist of the spoken Latin from what was being discussed. I have listened to Davide speak Italian also, he is the most understandable of them all to a Spanish speaker.
Awesome video. I speak Italian reasonably well now. Latin is the next language I want to learn. 😊
Wow, this brings back memories to our Italy trip in 2013. I speak no Italian, but had Latin in high school. Dragging out what I learned backed then I was amazed that people understood my "pidgin Latin" - and my wife was jealous. 😆
I liked seeing Davide somewhat uncomfortable with a language! I listen to his podcast and watch his videos for my Italian journey. Hes very confident and comfortable all the time, so seeing this face expression was new (in a good way). You guys are awesome, thank you.
Luca, your next challenge to walk around speaking Latin in ROMANIA 😀
Will be disastrous. :)
There will be some amount of frustration because a lot of people will feel they are about to understand something but they realize they don't.

Did you agree on wearing sweaters of the same color before filming this video? 😄
Joking apart, I really enjoyed it, thank you for your experiments with Latin, Luke.
I studied Latin at school with the ecclesiastical pronounciation (like all Italian students do) and thanks to your channel I discovered the pronuntiatio restituta. I was skeptical at first, but now I am fascinated.
The Italian pronunciation is of course wonderful, but the restored pronunciation is a really great tool for things like metrical texts. I think the best thing we can do as a community is be accepting of both! :D
I'm Italian and during the 5th year of highschool I used to improvise speeches in latin and to create epigram about my friends (like Marziale's) just for fun. 5/6 years later I don't remember many words or grammar rules. Practice makes it all, unfortunately..
You can improve your Latin through Luke Ranieri's Lingua Latina Comprehensibilis playlist on his channel ScorpioMartianus. All his videos are in idiomatic Latin.
I am a romanian and I can understand almost all of the words! Love your videos!
I was literally standing where you are standing exactly one week ago! What a shame I didn't stumble upon you guys! :P

I'm Romanian, I speak Aromanian and Italian and I understood almost anything.
Same.
Has visitat mai Catalunya ? Et proposo el repte de fer un vídeo amb alguns catalans per veure si entenen llatí i si tu entens català . Felicitats pel teu canal..😀
It’s interesting that you can compare words in English. For example, “Aedificium” which means “building”, but you also have the world “edifice” in English with the same meaning.
same for french and spanish
Edificio in spanish. Perhaps we all should learn latin
This is very inspiring to me. I’m a student of Sanskrit, and only this semester have I started studying Latin. I think I am also taking on the pedagogical method of repetition and translation as has been mentioned in the comment about the guy’s Italian tutors not being able to make a sentence. What reference and method is ideal for learning it in this way?
i like the rustic latin pronunciation more the classical one///like the AE pronounced as E...or the QUE as CV and not CUE ...but it is more like a personal choice :)
I'd like to see a video of making a pizza in Latin
I really admire Davide's efforts to speak in Latin!
Io studio latino, ma il massimo che posso fare è tradurre delle versioni 💀✋
Idem

Luchino sei l'insegnante di latino che ho sempre sognato ma che non mai avuto
If Rome didn't fall and they kept a common language, what language would they speak?
Latin, of course, but with a pronunciation similar to the Ecclesiastical one.
I am shocked how good David's English is.
I know right?" Not only I can hear zero Italian accent, but he also sounds American. I thought he was an Italian American
Sì ma vedi, Luke, non vale con chi ha studiato e da poco... Prova con un manovale in pensione con la quinta elementare per cui anche l'italiano standard è già una lingua straniera, imparata (poco e male) a scuola e poi dalla tv...!
Let me give you an idea of a video. How about speaking English but using Latin words. For example you used "consent" for "agree". Let's see how it will appear.
Using Latin/Romance vocabulary exclusively is not a difficult challenge, our language is approximately 50-75% Latin influenced. Even "agree" is romance based, from French "agreer", from Latin "ad gratum". Even this sentence has completely avoided Germanic terms, with the exception of grammatical necessities from English like "is", "from", "with", et cetera. Communicating in this form however will annoy people, as it sounds too pedantic.
Buenas! Yo soy nativo del español y entiendo algo de italiano y solo entendí los cognados y entendí que hablaron del coliseo y de que les gustaba de Roma y algo de spaghetti , hehehehe. Pero fue super chévere verlos! Muchas gracias por compartir!
Yo entiendo italiano y portugués perfectamente y latín tmb entiendo mucho si ellos me hablaran en italiano portugués o latín yo contestaría todo en español haha 😆
go to Athens and speak Ancient Greek
It's bizarre, as a native Portuguese speaker, also fluent in Italian, intermediate French, and a decent (lazy, because of Portuguese) Spanish speaker, I can understand almost everything they're saying in Latin!
*Insert genius meme* All jokes aside, this video has solidified my plan to use Familia Romana when I study Latin.
It's so weird to hear Davide speaking in english 😱😱
Numquam prius Davidem altiōrem quam tē esse crēvī animō. Κἀγαθότατά γε ῥωμαϊστὶ διαλέγεσθαι ἐπειρήσατο.
Davide est valde altus ;-)
Visificus optimus (estne verbum "video" in lingua latina?) ! Nunc Urbem Romam rursus visitare cupio! :D
PS.: sorry if I made mistakes, reading Latin isn't the same as speaking it. ;)
"Cuomodo dicitur..." (sp?) ➡️ "Como si dice..." & "Cómo se dice..."
This will never stop being amazing to me! 😃😃
Vocês entendem português, espanhol e romeno?
And others
one of the best english accent from an italian lol
I agree. I was also very surprised that he can speak English with an accent close to General American English.
There are many words similar to Urdu and Hindi.
Like Marna in Urdu means "to die"
Urdu has many words from Sanskrit.
So it's not shocking I think
Great video. Very encouraging and motivating for me as I’m currently trudging through Familia Romana myself.
I've had this exact unproven feeling in myself about this kind of interaction of these two languages for a very long time. I always felt that Latin must have sounded similar to Italian and also that Italian must be the closest thing to Latin in the modern world. I have no formal training in language studies but it sounds Italian if you muddle your way through it. Then again there's the Tom Segura joke about his last name when checking into a hotel...... This could also be me LOL.
Awesome video, I've been understanding more and more of the spoken Latin in these videos, which is great!
Excellent video!

@polýMATHY Luke, have you ever considered doing talks and lectures about how it's important to study Latin in the way you encourage everyone to, which is trying to comprehend the language and to get some degree of fluency in speaking it, instead of putting every single sentence through the lens of translation? In the country I live in, for instance (the Netherlands), Latin is only taught as an extra subject in the Dutch equivalent of middle and high school (and even then only when you're doing the highest level of education). Most people that aren't already interested in learning Latin this way won't find themselves getting recommendations for your videos on their home feed. Perhaps giving talks internationally will spark a bit of interest in some people or lead them to the conclusion that the translatory method isn't the best way to study Latin. I would love to hear how you feel about that.
Pls i'm italian and i studied latin for 2 years and the only thing that i remember is the verb to be
Come to Sardinia and learn a little bit of Sardinian language, it will help your Latin grammar a lot (because it’s one of the rare latin romance live language), you don’t need it a lot, your latin is pretty good.
What I find fascinating is as a native english speaker with a fair understanding spanish I can actually make out a lot of words in spoken latin. While I couldnt properly translate or understand any long sentences, I can still tell what they're talking about and the general sentiment towards the items they're discussing.
Ho cominciato amare la lingua italiana dopo che ho imparato abbastanza latino. Grazie ai due !
Gli italiani parlano latino tutti i giorni, un dialetto latino, ma sempre latino è .
Wait, when did Roman emperors started speaking English?
In the movies, Caesar speaks English very well... usually with a British accent!
I think the vast majority of Italians learn the ecclesiastical pronunciation in highschool, as I did. It's unfortunate because I would pick up a lot more of what you're saying if the pronunciation matched. I am not going back to highschool, which means you gotta change man. XD
Luke is using the Restored Classical pronunciation or Restituta. The Classical and Ecclesiastical pronunciations are both legitimate choices.
Regarding "interesting" -- I find the following examples in Traupman: 1. Donna mihi vidētur speciōsa puella. (Donna seems to be a very interesting girl.) 2. Ille liber mē tenet. (That book is interesting.)
