I find it interesting how this generation believes that latin isnt as important as the last 3000 years of generations believed Comment from : @binabina4445 |
|
Fascinating that his insight regarding the diversity of the coliseum crowd touched nothing on the universality of depravity in humankind, this world needs Jesus! Comment from : @συστρατιώτης |

I'm learning both Italian and Latin, the amount of effort I need to do to grasp Latin from Lingua Latina per se Illustrata is very amusing, but totally worth it It is like growing wings and being born into another existence It's a lifelong pursuit, it kinda helps that my mother tongue is spanish Once you know spanish, english and latin, it's like seeing through the matrix, literally Knowing the origins of words is incredible Also I must recommend everyone to a least try LLPSI and Italian Nature method by Jensen Comment from : @fedecalace8632 |

Fantastic insight Having studied Latin for 10 years in England, I can confirm that it really does help for languages such as French, Spanish and especially Italian Comment from : @Santos-dp6yb |
|

Latin can’t be dead! It’s still “Roman” around! 🤓 Comment from : @gv3493 |

I love languages and I'm really into Latin, but I completely disagree with what he said This myth of Latin as the most logical, most effective, most powerful language is hard to die As beautiful, fascinating and nuanced as it may be, it is just a language, neither better nor worse than the modern ones Morever, considering it as a system of rules does not take into accout the vitality of the language and is not at all the most effective way to acquire it Learning a modern, alive language (in the sense that it has a community of native speakers) would be probably much more useful and surely equally enriching Comment from : @giacarc |

Training and practice are important You can’t hand someone a Tedx Talk and hope for the best Comment from : @studyzen8836 |

Gotta be honest here I'm studying Latin in my on volition, but this talk almost made me not want to do it anymore It's a really bad sell of it IMObrJust bad argumentation and droning on about it being good because I said so Comment from : @Mankepanke |

I watch this every time I ask myself WHY THE F AM I STUDYING LATIN Comment from : @Backto5oh5 |
|
I love Latin, but I don't think it should be forced on students in school Many (in fact I dare say most) students will probably never develop an interest or love for Latin no matter how much you make them use it I was taught Mandarin in primary and secondary school as a second language as part of the national curriculum, and there is nothing worse than being constantly tested and punished for being bad at a language which is forced on you and you have no interest in! Many of my peers felt the same way, and this policy has had resulted in generations of my countrymen being turned off the language and avoiding it, even though most of us are ethnic Chinese Comment from : @shastasilverchairsg |
|
He's right I learned more grammar from 4 years of Latin classes than from 12 years of English in school Comment from : @letitiajeavons6333 |
|
Golly, this looks like a fascinating video, but my TED card is full of punches Comment from : @mencken8 |
|
Latin is extremely important yet not crucial Many successful people did very well in their fields without knowledge of Latin Comment from : @naftaliben-yehuda3972 |
|
this dude’s cadence is so weird Comment from : @namegiven_ |
|
I'm interested in Latin, and languages more broadly, but this guy makes me want to yell "THE PLURAL OF ANECDOTE IS NOT DATA"" and "CORILLATION IS NOT CAUSATION" into his face It's not surprising that people who are clever enough to succeed in business and other mentally challenging pursuits are clever enough to be good at Latin That does not mean that Latin taught them those abilities Think how many excellent Latin student there are who did not do anything notable with their lives Think how many notable people there are who did not study Latin Comment from : @AtanaaTheCurious |

No western languages use declension though Wouldn't it be better to learn Spanish instead Comment from : @ft9kop |
|
Italian and Spanish are closest to original Latin Comment from : @Blue-jd8jf |
|
I'm not sure how I feel about this man's sales pitch I'm not trying to buy a language, good sir brYou don't need to sell the bones of my spoken word back to me Comment from : @Nikelaos_Khristianos |

That is fascinating how people praise Latin and at the same time deprecate Esperanto, which is much more structured, regular and consistent than Latin and any national language Other than that, Esperanto is easier and at the same time much more expressive and intuitive! It is LIVING language with approximately 2 millions of speakers, and there are even native speakers I'm a big fan of Latin too, but in my opinion Esperanto is just a so much better option: 90 of learners would left learning Latin as soon as they realize how difficult it is, while one can learn like 10x more Esperanto in the same portion of time And Esperanto has 80 Latin vocabulary, although its' structure/grammar is absolutely different Comment from : @CenturionKZ |

Latin is dead You should learn Standard Arabic and it will give you the same effect on your brain as Latin Arabic is the Sanskrit/ Latin of Islam Comment from : @alessioleporati1478 |

mi piace dirlo: sono un Latin lover Comment from : @lupistana7885 |
|
Wow this is brilliant! Now I want to take Latin more than ever before There are just so many reasons I love science, math & technology and Latin can help us all to be more logical, analytical, better problem solvers and the list goes on Thanks Comment from : @SecTechie |

Both English and German ought to be Romance languages for they both also belonged to the Roman Empire! How is this to be explained? Comment from : @maanvol |
|
1) He missed the best reasons for learning Latin: Ovid, Vergil, Horace, and Catullus br2) He gave an excellent reason to avoid the study of Latin: JK Rowlingbr3) Very few things are less mathematical than Latinbr4) He should not have spoken dismissively of Book 4 of the Aeneid, or its grammarbr5) No more grappling with issues, pleasebr6) He made some good points Comment from : @carlnilson273 |

Hahaha the way this guy attempts to use ancient Rome as justification for todays Mass migration which is un-matched in all of human history, is laughable The fact is that upon the opening of the Colosseum many of the dignitaries of the various provinces of Rome would have been invited to come to Rome in celebration of the opening of such an architectural achievement Not only for their own entertainment but mainly as a reminder of the power and sophistication of Rome They are reminding the vessels that not only is it better being under Roman rule (because look at the technology we have) but also a reminder that it would not be wise to attempt some kind of revolt against a power capable of constructing such wonders brI am so sick of people trying to use and distort ancient examples to justify modern behavior Comment from : @krixxset2214 |

'Latin is a mathematical language' Perhaps the worst statement ever conceived concerning Latin I have seen in a long time Comment from : @Andathil117 |
|
The issue with a lot of these arguments is that they don't apply to Latin exclusively Learning any foreign language to fluency requires you to think logically and problem solve Yes, Latin is highly inflected, but so are many modern languages - polish, finnish, russian, Icelandic, greek, etc Secondly, Latin is helpful for learning the romance languages, but the modern romance languages are all much more similar to one another than any of them are to Latin If you just learn, say, Italian, learning other romance languages would be even easier than if you know latin Additionally, you still get all of the same insight into English vocabulary that you would if you studied Latin itself Comment from : @Philoglossos |

Latin is only dead to the servile classes Other than that, it is very very much alive, and lives oh boy! Comment from : @infinitesimotel |
|
Very good speech! I am reactivating today what I learnt at school, forgot during decades after school, but now am relearning again Latin is cool Ryan is a very serious speaker with a good memory! Comment from : @sharegreats2157 |
|
Excellent talk, thank you As I'm sure you yourself would agree, and so in no way is this a criticism, there is a "fundamental fundamental" I would mention: Latin is a very dellearnable/del language And, I would add, very lovable, and in a unique way I hope that the curious but brave will look into Foster's Ossa Latinitas Sola to find out what I mean Or at least watch the 1939 Goodbye, Mr Chips Gratias tibi ago Semper valeto Comment from : @johnrickert5572 |

I agree with Mr Sellers, I too have started studying Classical Latin, but, is it me, or does he sound like the character, Sheldon Cooper, on The Big Bang Theory? lol Comment from : @donaldranta9028 |
|
loved it, thank you! but wish you could have mentioned that 90 of medical dictionaries entries are Latin-Greek based? & all the biology terms, genus, species' names & anatomical terms but I found your talk excellent! :) also, would love to know why the teaching of Latin must include all the conjugations, etc for reading the classics, I know, but for vocabulary seems more important than all the horrible memorization of case endings, etc or at least an "emphasis change", or perhaps courses such as LATIN for the MEDICAL FIELD for example, in Texas, all the rage now, for survival, is Spanish, of course, but the classics are being lost in k-12 :( Comment from : @susanmcdonald6879 |
