I have been posting these videos on YouTube - trying to do one a week. I like to think it enables people to encounter the original Latin at some level, without a knowledge of the language. My hope is that after watching a video, a viewer would ret...
This basic lesson is great. The clear instruction is very understandable. I hope that there is an entire series of instructional videos to learn Latin.
Great Job!
Learning Latin with Virgil is a 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,...
Very good, so far. This seems to make good sense, is fun and might just work well enough to get me started with Latin. Thanks!!

COOL! THIS WILL BE USEFUL!
Ha! I had my students perform this little skit for the school board members so they could see where all the money they spent on the Latin textbooks went. The kids had a lot of fun with it though. I'm starting to collect more props for this year be...

- Hello Anthony,
I have been in the field of eduation since 1975 excluding a four year break. I teach history, philosophy, hunmanities, and philosophy of education at a community college in New York State, USA. I have always been interested in learning Latin, and I have been talking to the language department chair to offer Latin. She was impressed with your lessons and said they would be excellent for Latin I. We have advertised for an instructor, however, they are hard to find. Note: I think your lessons are great!
Have a great day,
Fred

- I just had our department chair in languages take a look at your materials for learning Latin. She said that they are teriffic. As an educator of 34 years, I can truly say that your instruction is outstanding. We are trying to get Latin at the college, but Latin scholars as yourself are hard to come by,
Great Job,
Fred

- Anthony:
Small but necessary corrections to your otherwise excellent Tar Heel 'Familia deorum':
1. Iuppiter (NOT Iupiter - it's spelt with double p)
2. Page 7 - Iuppiter, NOT Iovis, in this line-up: *Iovis et Neptunus et Pluto sunt fratres"->"Juppiter et Neptunus et Pluto sunt fratres" (nominative, not genitive).
Best intro to the gods I've seen so far. Thanks for that.
Peter
