I was listening to this wonderful conversation, and then switched over to the livestream of Jordan B. Peterson giving the commencement address at Hillsdale College. In which, Peterson brings up that the Greek word we use for "sin" is an archery term that means "to miss the mark." :)

Great video. Although I still have a lot of questions about the benefits of learning Latin, I am excited for my kids. The older 3 have just started Latina Christiana, and when I ordered the kindergarten supplies for my 6 year old, he looked at all the books laid on the table and asked where the Latin for Kindergarten book was. I felt so bad telling him there wasn't any!

So encouraging! I love these conversations - being far from other homeschoolers I find the guidance very helpful and helps confirm my current choices and future plans with the kids. I have 5 boys - 6-24 - and the masculine energy and banter at the table is GLORIOUS! Lol. As a woman I don’t ‘get it’ but am happy when you all are happy and love the energy!

So brotherly and so scholarly all at once.

Hard not to really dig these guys et eorum latinitatem.

Thank you the great discussion. For the past two years, I've homeschooled my children with Memoria Press. Their Latin courses have been very well done and I've enjoyed learning along with them. I appreciate hearing how all four of you began your language journeys at different points in your lives. This conversation convinced me that I need to be more deliberate with my own Latin learning.

“It’s an added benefit” -Mr Holley 😂

The reality is that no one is bad at languages. If you were, you never would have learned your native language. What's bad is the "conventional" pedagogy of grammar-translation. It's difficult, tedious, and ultimately doesn't work. A comprehensible input approach, on the other hand, is not only effective, but quite enjoyable.

I am 28 with a bachelors in Finance. How can I start my GK/Lt/Hebrew scholarship? I love the classics, but have only read in translation. I’m considering returning to college for classics for the love of it.

Comprehensible Input: reading and listening ~ CZcams

I would like to engage with the conversation in regarding the Living Words

[@yarrowification]

Acquired languages do indeed work like native languages i can tell you from experience

[@Tonal.Harmony]

Is Memoria considering a Classics-only college?

[@veronicapalmer910]

They have Memoria College. Check it out

Tom Bombadil is an archetype of Christ. I believe he is fashioned after Melchizedek in the Bible.

[@peterbrown3004]

Learn a hell of a bunch of Dinosaur names, and you'll be learning an awful amount of Ancient Greek lexical items. Anchiornis knows what I'm talking about.
