Learn Latin Episode III: First Conjugation Latin Verbs

[@davelightman]

It's a real shame you never did any more of these - excellent teaching method, would have loved to have seen more.

[@NicoleKaii]

I love your teaching style. I wish you had made more!

[@Akamaholic]

Nicole Kane he started making them again. Scroll through his channel.

[@thyracarroll7024]

Your tutorials are FANTASTIC I am taking Latin in university and your tutorials are so simple to follow and very informative! These videos bring back the passion to learn Latin. Thank you

[@annnee6409]

no excuse! your bird creates a nice feel, like we're taking a lesson in nature outdoors!

[@danajoyner9266]

This is great. You have a talent for teaching as opposed to just telling someone how to do something. Thanks for the upload! And Billy was awesome, love a little background music.

[@blankblank1284]

Know this is old, but I agree. He is a good teacher, could just have higher audio quality. I have to turn my volume to nigh max to hear him clearly.

[@DrZenith]

Step by step teaching of the basics, in a clear interesting way - for the linguist - by someone who knows and has a real understanding and affection for the intricacies of the beautiful language of Latin. Semper hic praeceptor scotus floreat!

[@robertfox1401]

I have been trying to teach myself latin during my free time here in Memphis Tennessee; and I have not find one video as clear and entertaining as yours are. I am loving your course and would be grateful for an episode 4. Although I do realize that 3 was posted over a year ago.

[@trupacalist]

I thoroughly enjoy your teaching method. I find it to be simple and effective. I truly hope that you make another video soon. I've learned more about Latin from you in these 3 short videos than I have from any other videos on KZbin. Thank you.

[@qingyan1583]

please please please please please make the next episode! your way of lecture really fit my learning process and I really love your Learn Latin videos!

[@marlborored100s]

You are a great teacher. It seems to come so naturally to you...and so easy to follow. Love you!!!

[@jemmafield5600]

This is absolutely brilliant! It is by far and away the most cogent explanation of verb conjugation that I have come across. I would be so grateful if you would continue the series!!! You are a very gifted teacher.

[@Bibimykitty]

Thank you so much, Gregory! Very kind of you to share your skills with the world and help us learn! :)

[@cvskrrt2907]

+G Beck Yeah!!!

[@m.a.244]

Please continue the series, it's the most helpful on youtube. waiting for episode lV

[@sharansethi8201]

i love these videos, please make more.

[@auedpo]

These lessons are absolutely awesome and things are explained in such a way that it really makes sense to me. I like that you stated that you were doing this series as a way for your friends to learn and I think that really shows in the way that you explain and show things in a way that is easily absorbed. Is there any chance of you doing more on this series? :)

[@teachmeshari9850]

Hi! I am a Linguist and I really enjoyed your video. It is informative and you explain things very well. Thank you!

[@Jessiexnim]

I'm improving so much! I'm just a few hours I've already learnt how to conjugate these verbs and all the terms are stuck in my head now! Thank you so much for this!

[@yvonnegreenberg6449]

I just found your channel. I will work on all the lessons you have provided and go from there. Thank you so much- you are such a blessing!

[@ginamastrantonio4744]

Absolutely love your style! I've had French, Italian, and a little Japanese, but your logical approach is superior to what I've experienced in the past. When you finish medical school, come to Stanford and teach in the Continuing Education classes. They would LOVE you. You could do well in both fields. Please give us more videos. The tweeting in the background was an added bonus. :) Thank you for your engaging personality.

[@angels-in-the-impala-4350]

Please make a new video.

[@jerebuck]

These are excellent lessons, clear and well thought-out. They are also instructive and very helpful, thank you.

[@stephanwilliams8082]

Young Greg, you are a star. Loved the lesson.

[@ep1865]

Very useful for people starting out learning latin! Please make more, I want the answers to that test haha

[@infinitesimotel]

Great series, I love the etymological nuggets in this. Please carry on, I love this style.

[@nomorepc2431]

Thank you for these vids. I love them. You've made Latin come alive.

[@prakhardixit1597]

That's all?? You're a great teacher! Please post the rest of the videos.

[@stegosaurus6654]

I really like how you do these, I've learned a lot from the videos!

[@elizabethazzopardi3904]

Your videos were really helpful ! it's a pity you stopped :(

[@Its-Ciaran]

Elizabeth Azzopardi and now he has started again :D

[@michaels6141]

I love these videos, I hope you continue them!

[@jameshercals9651]

I learnt a lot from the lessons you uploaded, a shame you didn't make more

[@Its-Ciaran]

James Hercals there are more now :)

[@oddpipe]

These videos are great. Can't wait for the next one!!!!

[@JeeZwriter64]

Please make more videos!!! These are so excellent! You are an amazing teacher!

[@cubbiesrul]

This are fantastic videos, and I learned a great deal from them. If are able to, please post more.

[@andymutton7870]

I love your videos soooo much they so easy to understand and I was hooked within minutes Thank you very much for making them and I hope you continue with the series

[@betterhealthbetterlife4912]

Are you going to make any further videos on this? I know these are a few years old. There are not many good choices on here for learning Latin, in my opinion. I enjoy your teaching style. You explain things in a way I can understand. It seems that so many videos of people teaching any language, they make the mistake of explaining it from the point of view of someone who already KNOWS the language. You have a knack for explaining it in a way that is comfortable for those who are not familiar with it, you explain it in a way that is easier to understand. I have not worded that well, but hopefully you understand what I am trying to get across :) Peace. And thank you :)

[@Its-Ciaran]

Better Health Better Life there are more now

[@Gm030192]

Hey Presley, sorry I have been insanely busy with exams etc. so have neglected to upload any new ones. More will be up soon though, watch this space! :P I taught myself through books mainly and snuck into the odd lecture at my university :)

[@marijatrajkovska791]

Please come back with this kind of videos! :)

[@TheRaven1243]

please make part 4 I'm looking forward to it

[@Its-Ciaran]

Miguel del valle he has now :)

[@brookewade3887]

I enjoyed them, Post more!

[@Mac2point1]

I like your videos Gregory. Thumbs up!

Good series, hope you'll make more videos! We're all waiting!

[@KubaEnglish]

In English there actually is the subjunctive present tense which is identical to the infinitive just without "to". Examples: 1. Anne suggested that Tom come with her. 2. Anne demanded that Tom be given more training.

[@curlyakambi]

Are you no longer making videos? I just came across your learn Latin series and I really enjoy your teaching style. Please consider making more.

[@abacusr.krijgen9856]

Could you please continue to make more 'Latin Lesson' videos? Or this series are dead already? Please, you are the best teacher I've come across so far... The other tutorials are not as clear and easy to follow like yours :v

[@brittanylee521]

Thank you! This video has been really informative. I do hope that you would consider making a new one soon.

[@antonvilla7061]

I did understood everything you said cause I speak spanish as a native language, spanish comes from latin so many of the things you were saying were pretty obvious for me I think is a harder task for someone who speak a language that does not come from latin but I gotta say I love the way you explain everything so you should make more videos teaching words and phrases could be really useful, I never payed attention to the latin roots before but now I am truly intrigue with this language all because of you.

[@cronus71]

Thanks Gregory, looking forward to EP IV

[@frida2804]

Amo Amo Amo Amo ! Enjoying this immensely ! When is lesson four? Ave Billy !

[@kimberlywelden214]

Thank you very much for these videos I am glad to have found them.

[@jacquelinehumphrey1680]

this is great, it is easy to follow and your media input and part of speech structure its cool. Please make another episode. :)

[@drag0n101190357]

great video, I hope to see more of them soon.

[@TheEuphrosyne1216]

English does have a subjunctive mood; it forms this often by composing *would* with the present indicative form of the verb. And with the verb *to be*, English used to form the subjunctive mood by using the past tense plural form. An example of both of these used in the same sentence is: "if I were you, I would watch my back." Both verbs are in the subjunctive: the verb "were" is "mismatched" to the word *you* to indicate the subjunctive mood, and the verb *watch* is prefixed by the auxiliary verb *would* to form another version of the subjunctive. The subjunctive does seem to be going into abeyance nowadays, and many people seem to find ways to get a subjunctive intention across, without actually forming the subjunctive. (If I were doing that . . .; If you were doing that; . . . if he, she, it were doing that; . . . etc.)

[@whoami2461]

When will you do another video? Really liked them

[@joedr6458]

Hi Gregory, Thanks for the lessons. You mentioned that English does not have a subjunctive mood. My understanding is that English does. We form it by using the past tense of the verb and "wouldl" to indicate a hypothetical or a condition contrary to fact. An example would be: "If I were a musician, I would play classical piano." Or "Had I know the situation, I would not have gone to visit them" Thanks!

[@joedr6458]

A typo: "Had I known the situation, I would not have gone to visit them". Another example might be, "Would that I won the lottery!"

[@Introxicated]

Great videos! I'm awaiting the next one. I'm actually taking German classes and this has been interesting seeing the similarities between them.

[@kathrynveseth6346]

Wonderful, Greg! Very well don! Thank you!

[@BecxKK]

pity there aren't more of these. They're very clear, I really liked them.

[@williamdzong763]

Brilliant prononciation! Pray having some more

[@azzurro_23]

Thankyou very much! Really enjoyed and learnt alot! I hope u make more 🙏🙏🙏

[@Evertonferreiraful]

oh, you stopped making videos? I was enjoying your lessons. Hope you make more!

[@greedywolf2975]

darn, what a bummer no more videos. :-(

[@Gm030192]

Look out for a new video in the next week or so!

[@naruto99924]

Your videos are really good and informative, it is making it very easy to learn which is a big deal considering I have ASD or Aspergus (a learning disorder). If I could make a suggestion, could you perhaps have worksheet/s to test my/our knowledge? I believe the knowledge would stick better with some worksheets to practice on every now and again. I am learning Latin through a combination of you and Byki. Thank you.

[@michellestepp2734]

You are incredibly intelligent and very handsome. I love the videos and your accent is lovely! I'm learning a lot!

[@schwartzbrick]

We definitely do have the subjunctive in English, it's just not as obvious and obtrusive as in other languages. And we sometimes fudge it in informal situations. It tends to come out in formal, ceremonial situations. A great example is, "May God bless you." God is third person singular, so if the sentence were indicative, it would be, "God blesses you" - this would be INDICATING the fact of something happening. "May God bless you" is not indicating a fact. It is expressing the speaker's feelings concerning the possibility of something happening. This is subjunctive. Other languages have radically different versions of verbs in the subjunctive. In English, we just use the infinitive (at least when we're using the subjunctive properly). So it is proper to say, "It is important that you BE good," instead of, "It is important that you are good."

[@cevatiful]

I'm italian and your pronunciation is perfect

[@RobertoLicardie]

So glad my Main language is SPanish... Its really easy for me to understand these concepts. Mind you, i was raised in America. Learning a 3rd language would be really neat :D! Ty mate.

[@iceicebaby3623]

Make more please, and mabye for medicine students? Great work!

[@prasinoskosmos88]

Portuguese conjugation- Amar (Eu amo, Tu amas, Ele,a ama, Nós amamos, Vós amais (amades in old ptg), Eles,as amam)

[@haochen8019]

español conjugación - amar (yo amo ,Tu amas,él/ella ama,nosotros amamos, vosotros amáis,ellos aman )

[@zeon1957]

Thanks to those who supported the chanel

[@brittanylee521]

Looking forward to the new video! :)

[@VoidThePerpetual]

English does have a subjunctive, it's just not used anymore. For instance, technically speaking, you should say, "If he be willing, may I speak to him?" But nowadays we just use the indicative, as in "If he is willing...", because we're too lazy to use the subjunctive. Whatever the case, English does have a subjunctive.

[@gracef4621]

love your videos, they are very helpful

[@garyrichard3966]

Gregory..ive never found videos or tutorials so easy and helpful.I worked through your first 3 episodes in one afternoon and am making rapid progress.I awoke today to hopefully view episode lV and check my TEST results but cannot find any further videos.Ive looked at many Latin vids but find nothing as clear or as helpful as these..Can anyone help me find Gregory's videos from episode lll onward ............(learning Latin in New Zealand)

[@bobomb40]

02:25 We do indeed have subjunctive in English, but it's becoming less and less common as people get dumber and dumber and lean more towards a monopoly governed by the indicative.

[@roxicomepopo]

you're a great teacher! why are there no more videos? where are the answers to my test!?

[@jxristop]

I hear your bird recording the early bird special back there 😉✨

[@thefirstonyoutube]

This is brilliant... thank you. "Cogitamus, Volamus"

[@Turtl3Gam1ng]

I am a sophomore in highschool, and pretty much pissed away at my Latin I class, didn't take it seriously and just cheated through every test etc (which has led to massively backfire). I'm now in Latin II (The Latin I teacher selects students to continue the latin course or move "down" to Spanish). I've been many videos on conjugating, since that's all I have trouble with... Conjugating. I know up to the fourth declension (working on memorizing the 5th), and I know how to form Present, Imperf, and Perfect tense of a verb in the ACTIVE mood, The rest is memorizing which I may do on my own. But I struggle with the 2ND Conjugation, I believe ere is the 2cnd principle part... But how do you go about forming the tenses for each? For example with the first conjugation Amo, in each tense it would be: Amo, Amas, Amat, Amamus(?), Amatis, and Amant; slice off the RE -- (please let me know if I messed any of those up - or if I am completely wrong or in the clear:) but for 2cnd conjugation verbs, such as video, how would you go about forming the tenses? I have noticed you just keep the E, so video, vides(?), videt(?), videmus, videtis, vident; I don't really know how to form 2cnd conjugation verbs in each tense (or 3rd, 3rd IO, 4th). You're probably confused after reading my essay on my misunderstanding of verbs and their conjugations etc... But please help to the best of your abilities. Also let me know if my tense forming (active) of video was correct (most likely not).

[@unclecrow1694]

Waiting for episode IV...please!

[@benjaminesquire2549]

Nice video. The subjunctive in English still is used in conditional clauses and subordinate clauses.

[@thatusernameguy]

PLEASE DO MORE!!!

[@prainam]

Awaiting for Learn Latin Episode IV.......pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :)

[@looseygoosey23]

Where are you? What are your whereabouts? We’d love more videos

[@demeburtini]

We pronounce "v" as "u" in ancient Latin. In the Roman Latin and later we pronounce it as "v". And the general pronounciation is as the italian pronouncation, not as the english one!

[@thomasanderson1416]

Where is episode 4 please?

[@garyrichard3966]

Cayl Sharp Cayl,hello......have you had any luck finding Learn Latin episode 4 and onward.....im hungry for more also.

[@ELNENE169]

Following the theme os the comments, when's the next vid? very informative

[@WatchOnYT]

9:40 It's not the full quotation. The full quotation is: "Dubito ergo cogito ergo sum"

[@oldben5772]

"If I were a rich man, dubbah dubbah etc." - that's an English subjunctive.

[@davidhenry352]

English does have subjunctive and a lot of European languages do. For example, If there hadn’t been much rain in spring, we would have had a good harvest now. (past) If he smoked less, his cough might be well soon. (present) If the lecturer should be late, you would have to make a speech first. (future) and in French, Je souhaite que ton premier voyager en France soit réussi. Elles sont très contentes qu’il fasse beau aujourd’hui. Il est nécessaire que vous pensiez à votre avenir.

[@maanj.8275]

I am not sure those are examples of the subjunctive. I think the subjunctive is found in examples like "If I were you, I would do it. ['were' instead of 'was'], or "It is required that he be there on time" [be]; He recommended that my sister study more [study].

[@martynabellini1572]

Waiting for more episodes 😉

[@MrSpartan624]

this is very helpful, please make more.... :)

[@daemon7013]

Cute sounding birds

[@CTallant]

Nice videos dude. How long did it take you learn Latin? And how often did you study it?

[@microsoftsam784]

Would a Subjunctive mood, with the example you gave, be something like "He should sit down" or "He may be sitting" or something like that?

[@N0__Name__]

I wanna keep learning latin with your videoooooooooos... T-T I'll wait for chapter IV -.-

[@wandajames143]

[@Gm030192]

He is a parakeet yes, nice catch! :P Unfortunately Billy passed away too a few months ago :/ He was 11 years oldthough so a ripe old age for a parakeet. Became a cantankerous old bugger towards the end but he is sorely missed...

[@lauralagier9404]

+Gregory Myles I'm so sorry! my parakeet was surprisingly 15 years old when he passed, and he acted the same way haha. too bad that happened! :(

[@nomorepc2431]

So very sorry to hear that. What a cutie Billie was. And Laura very sorry you lost your little one as well.

[@hotonhoang4114]
