Latin doesn't have to be hard, and with the help of online descriptions of complicated grammatical topics, I hope it isn't. If you're a teacher, feel free to use these videos in your class, either to flip the learning, or for review. If you're a student, learn as much as you can. And stay tuned, there's much more Latin to come.
Who am I? My name is Ben Johnson and I am a high school Latin teacher in Maine, USA. Seeing that there weren't good quality Latin grammar videos on KZread, I began to create these videos to use as a resource for my own students. I continue to do so, both for initial instruction and review, combined with online activities. If you have a question about a topic, please leave a comment, or send me a message. I will be glad to help, time permitting.
I use the classical pronunciation of Latin, but am not perfect. Comments about pronunciation will be deleted.

I was looking for pluperfect for French and this is great
Best latin tutor on you tube!
No offense to Latin-lovers but the Latin language is basically a tutorial on how not to make a conlang. 😅
In Greece we learn principal parts with a different order. The first one is the same, the second is the perfect tense, the third is the supine and lastly the infinitive. Why's that?
It’s so easy!! Hardly try thinking about it and it will come so naturally! You will sound like a kitty purring!!

3:01. Why is it was, when the tense is present and not imperfect. Should the sentence, "I was deprived of my gifts" not be, donis privatus eram.
I will revisit this one million times
Thank you for this! I’ve been trying to read the Aeneid on my own but even using Pharr as a resource, have had trouble sorting through it. For the last line and half - is it correct to think genus, partres and moenia are all accusative/DO of conderet?
Thank you for this series!
heres my guide to get ya tongue to roll say k super powerful while exhaling and then t if you do it right itll force your tongue to roll and make it way easier to relax your tongue after you get the hang of doing this then put your tongue right behind your teeth and say green without moving the top and youll probably get a proper trill
3:14. I don't fully understand the grammar. Circum should result in accusative, so why is pestiferos in plural accusative and not in singular accusative, and why is rictus not rictum. Should it not be a bloody mouth, as opposed to a bloody (plural) mouth (subject).
This is just for me you should know. Sentence is divided onto subject and predicate first ( thus study is still called syntax), or into noun and verb( it is not possible to predicate without a verb to join the predicte with some subject or to for the verb to be principal predicate if the sentence itself). A school of thought begins with the verb another with the noun with respect to interpretation. In the sentence, "The cowardly cat caught a cold"( with some additions reveal the five parts of English sentence). 1) Verb, "caught"; 2) nouns, "cat" and "a cold"; 3) adjective "describe" the nouns and are said to be attached to their nouns, numbers are also adjectives; 4) Adverbs like "soon", "quickly" which describes the verb; 5) Propositional Phrases like "in the house".
When the direct object has a different form of the word from its corresponding subject form you don't need the SVO sentence structure.

0:40 Mundus Insani Maximi aliter cogitat. 😜 Maximi Demens? Magna lectio!
What if Brutus gave himself money in "Marcus putat Brutum pecuniam sibi dare"?
謝謝！
You have excellent grasp over this subject
I got thrown into an intensive Latin course and this is saving me and helping me catch up thank you
Velim te agere multas gratias. Your videos helped me secure 90% marks in this year's Advanced Latin Prose Exam with a gold medal and summa cum laude certificate. Wouldn't have been possible without your explanatory videos.
Beautifully said
I gotta say this video gave me a blast! I've just used it in my Latin classes here in Brazil and following the contextualization of these verses of Aeneid, I showed them a Latin version of a Brazilian song called 'Arco Íris' (Rainbow) from Xuxa that I made. My students got crazy with it. So THANK YOU!!!!
The dreaded 65, Guildersleeve #346 note 2.
this one is still a little too far ahead for me, where can i find a more beginner friendly video tutorial, pls? thx
God, you have awful voice. Stop it!
Такое ощущение что он изначально произошёл от славянского. То бишь q, x не имеют звука по произношению. W потом придумали, она вообще бессмысленна в современной парадигме.

Does, "Doctus est" not mean, "He is been taught"? Why does est not translate into he is? 5:33.
Why is it an -e and not a long i in the ablative form?
A fairy tale.
Nope. Ptah (Egyptian god) -----> Jupiter ( Deus Ptah ) D is the 4th letter of the alphabet ( Jupiter = Thor 4, Four, for ) Far ----> Farther ("Far far") ------> Father ( Jupiter is farther than Mars, and the father of Mars )
Latin is a fake language, there was no Roman Empire. La Tin ----> Latin La Tin = "The Tin" Tin, the sacred metal of Jupiter the father of Mars Zevs ---> Iesvs ---> Jesus Ptah (Egyptian god) -----> Peter / Jupiter ( Deus Ptah ) Devs ----> Zevs D is the 4th letter of the alphabet ( Jupiter = Thor 4, Four, for ) Changed D to Z The Z is a lightning bolt www.youtube.com/@sbelobaba/videos
Kinda like German, right? Where accusaitve is activated when one wants to express the idea of motion. EX: Ich gehe in die Stadt. Stadt is feminine so the article remains die, which is the nominative article.
500th post! Or, should I say, quingenti?
“As ye sow, so shall ye reap”…our ignorance is our ammunition. We are the main characters in our own lives…our higher selves are us in the future reaching back in time to assist ourselves. But if we knew that would we listen? We are the Gods. We are the alpha and omega I mean that’s what I got from the movie, how about you?
NIHIL
What happens if you have two antecedents, but one of them is feminine and the other one neuter?
Another way to think about it is this: Instead of "I think that he is alive," You can say "I think him to be alive." Where him is obviously accusative, and "to be" is the infinitive.
Debueris, mea quidem sententia, novam quamdam seriem inchoare atque veluerim te pergere carmina Latina sicut cum Aeneide feceris explicare! Cura valeas, et gratias pro opera tua!
I love your voice! So calming and precise. Also kinda reminds me of Ted Talk voiceovers.
When i was 7 (im 8 years old ) i learned Roman numerals like: I V X L C D M Is: I-1 V-5 X-10 L-10 C-100 D-500 M-1000
Due to my teacher's lack of teaching ability, I really couldn't understand what was going on, and the students book wasn't helpful either. Thank you for breaking it down!
You are telling me that XVIII is spoken IIXX ???
My latin teacher is (predictably) so pretentious but I so appreciate your videos
This video is not good! Pronounciation is completely wrong, and classical latin marked vowel length with apices!
Person places things still remain good examples of nouns not as it pertains to the definition of the noun as a whole is but as it pertains to whole to which the members of definitum, and the exclusion of abstract nouns is because not only do we know concrete better but also because the abstract is found in the concrete, as feat would remain unknown to us unless we met beings that were in fear as a sacred cat or a fearful woman. As a preparation for higher learning no need to retract person, places or things. Might want to remind non-Latin speakers that noun means name and what a word is used as is still better according to the definition of language conventionally or customarily significant auditory sign
You didn't pay attention to the stress in the words.
I wouldn't say that transitive verbs DO have a direct object but that they CAN have a direct object. I could say "I'm eating" without telling you _what_ I'm eating.
