Hello, my name is Michael

0:02

and I would like to teach you Latin.

0:04

Now, maybe you're studying Latin

0:06

right now and need some help.

0:07

I can help identify the points that are giving you trouble

0:10

and explain them and give you exercises to practice them.

0:13

Or maybe you just want to go beyond what you are learning,

0:16

then I can introduce you to more advanced concepts

0:18

and ways of learning them.

0:20

Or maybe you studied Latin a long time ago.

0:22

We can review and restart from where you left off,

0:25

taking advantage of your previous experience.

0:28

Or maybe you have never studied Latin

0:30

and just want to see what it's like or read.

0:33

Read some particular book,

0:34

or learn to cast magic spells or learn history.

0:37

Then I can start you at the beginning

0:39

and build your understanding in a direction

0:42

and a speed that's comfortable for you.

0:44

I minored in classics

0:46

and majored in linguistics, the science of Language.

0:48

I learned how languages work,

0:50

how they have developed over time and how they are related.

0:54

And this has given me a great ability to connect Latin

0:57

to other languages.

0:58

You may know from English all the way out

1:02

to South Asian languages and even computer languages.

1:05

Um, I have studied several

1:06

of the languages derived from Latin

1:08

and from the same family,

1:10

and I emphasize using Latin to build vocabulary

1:14

and to think logically and analytically.

1:17

So if you want to see that Latin is not a dead language,

1:22

then contact me and I'll bring it to life for you.
