Latin in Layman’s gives you the ability to understand and command language in a whole new respect. Join a typical grammarian and classicist as I expand your vocabulary, understanding of grammar, Etymology, terminology (i.e. legal, medical, botanical, etc.), and so much more. I also utilize this platform to expand on greater thoughts of mine, as well as discussing the importance of language and the promotion of "The Language Revival" (as I like to call it...) Thank you for your interested in knowledge, language acquisition, the command of one's own language, and the understanding of the world.

Latin me to sleep

Need this man to speak Latin to me while I fall asleep. Get him an award for that voice alone. But seriously I’ve been listening for a few weeks now and I love the educational content with the mix of Greek mythology. This podcast has brought out my inner Percy Jackson kid and I love it!
