Also, please note there is a slight problem in the audio, when I am discussing 2nd declension -us nouns. I mean to say that the ablative and dative plural endings are the same as the 1st declension plural ablative and dative endings - clearly they have different abl. and dat. singular endings!
Apologies, there is a mistake at 9:23. The vocative plural ending of donum is don-a.

I was baffled when I realized how many of these Latin ''catchphrases'' we kept in French (my mothertongue) such as Ad infinitum , Quid Pro Quo, In Vitro... I even had a teacher who kept saying ''Ad vitam Aeternam''. You are providing great courses! Keep up the great work!

The gum chewing is a thoughtful addition to the lesson. I believe she has added this to prevent the viewers with little determination to learn this important language from attaining full absorption of the material. You have not just want to learn it but need to learn it if you want to persevere against the subtle sounds of wet flesh in motion. Takes dedication to get through these lessons. Latin requires a powerful tongue. This leads to wet microphones, viewers tensing of muscles, and curling of toes. I'm not sober enough to stop this meaningless comment. Lol Thank you for your well constructed lesson and the time you gave to us by creating it. I am grateful. Even with the gum(juicy fruit, winter fresh, orbits?) In the back ground.

Why would someone dislike this this is completely normal.

Wow, this is interesting. I chose Latin on Duolingo out of curiosity (I play it as a game only) Now I am genuinely interested in the language. This channel is helpful.

The more I look at Latin, the more similarity that I find with Sanskrit. If you guys think Latin is complicated, then Sanskrit has 7 instead of 6 declensions, which are called as Vibhaktis. Also instead of just singular and plural, it has a dual form of the noun too, which makes a 7x3 table for each noun form. I would say both Sanskrit and Latin have much more common with each other in terms of grammar than with the languages they gave birth to

Took French in high school about 35 years ago. Made excellent grades too. This made a lot of sense to me. Luckily, I can still speak some. A few years ago took some Spanish, that helped taking French previously. I can rock the Latin based languages. Now I would like to learn Latin.
