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.

luckyabi ,

Love it!

I hyper-fixate on learning new material related to vocabulary, word origin, grammar, etc and this is perfect. My attention span is not the greatest but your podcast keeps me hooked! 👍

Latin podclass, accessible & covering a range of topics

Liam is an astute and warm podcaster offering a wide range of Latin conjugation, vocabulary and translations. I skip over the medical etymology but those episodes could be extremely useful for those pursuing medical field expertise. Nice voice and good content.
