I go into much more detail about this topic in my new audiobook, The Conversational Latin of Virgil's Eclogues and Latin Pronunciation Guide where I teach you the correct scansion of Latin poetry and the right way to pronounce Latin in conversation:

We were traveling in Prague and no one around us could speak English or Italian. Then, my aunt tried Latin. All of a sudden, five people came out of the crowd and began speaking to her in Latin. We were just stunned! And to think we had to travel all the way to Prague to get directions in Latin to a museum. Wonders never cease.

I think the coolest thing about this is that we get to memorize beautiful passages which may forever embelish our memory. Beauty should not be underestimated.

You and Captain Picard bear striking similarity … in your love of space, philosophy, and culture. :)

As a native Spanish speaker I became fluent in Latin in a short period of time ❤

[saintleger]

Omnia vincit amor, l'amour vaincra, bravo pour vos conférences sur cette superbe langue latine! Gratias tibi ago!

[notsogreen]

Love the voice no matter what language.

[rosacuore]

Luke Ranieri 🙏 Thank you! Your social media content didn’t just helped me to get better at English pronunciation, but taking the initiative to learn Latin and Latin languages. Moreover, discovering knowledge, philosophy, informative content I have not had a clue about it. I appreciate you!

[jasonbaker]

My favorite TNG episode of all time . “Sokath, his eyes uncovered!” Great video Luke, and I always appreciate your unique insight. ❤

[alberteinstein]

I've never thought about the use of memes and more generally assonance in conversation and literature. Now I realize how convenient these little shortcuts are! gratias tibi ago, Luce.

[deliad]

Hi Luke! You are one of a kind! Rara avis! Greetings from Claudiopolis!

[whothefluff]

Nice suit. Glad to see that the tie and pocket square are different patterns and colors

[karolcegielski]

I'v read that during the WW2 in France Arthur Reddish wanted to know where are the German soldiers but no one can speaks french. He knew latin and ask french priest "Ubi sita Germanorum?". Priest answers "Germanorum in pontem sunt".

[MrHenhei]

Fascinating, just fascinating. Thank you for sharing.

[davidlericain]

Darmok is my personal favorite episode too. I love it to bits.

[simondeep]

Fantastic presentation, and quite a snappy suit there!

[asg]

I'm very excited, Luke! This is exactly what I'm looking for in this phase of my learning! Also very excited for the "Coming soon!" items!

[robert]

I love this guy! His videos are so cool. I love the ones in which he speaks with Italians.

Also, Star Trek Next Generation reference was awesome!

[KristineMaitland]

Darmok And Jalad At Tanagra! A favourite Star Trek episode of mine. As for Latin poetry I have a fondness for Catullus but I like Virgtil too. I learned Latin in high school in Toronto, Canada at Humberside Collegiate Institute from Miss Wilson and I later did my BA at U of T in History and Classical Civilizations. Love this stuff. And I miss the days when Radio Finland International used to do its news in Latin.

I like English without the stressed accents. Listen to the episode of Fran is engaged (the Nanny) from minute 4:00 when the French tutor speaks.. You will hear the teacher speak English without any stressed accents. Lovely 😊
