Latin is compulsory in Romania for those in the eighth grade (also grades 9-10 at the social sciences profile and for the whole high school at the philology profile), but to be honest there is no intrest at all. In general, in the eighth grade Latin teachers are the same as the Romanian teachers. As at the end of the eighth grade we have the entrance exam for high school, the teachers prefer to teach us Romanian instead of doing Latin, and for the grades they ask us to do essays about things related to the Roman Empire. If 5% of students know how to count in Latin, I would be pleasantly surprised

Interesant! I'm originally from Moldova myself, but I went to school in the US. I would have never guessed that they taught Latin in Romania, and I doubt they teach it in Moldova. I wish they did teach it better.

Be wary of KZbin polyglots who claim to be able to speak crazy numbers of languages. For instance, even if you can't say much more in German than "ich habe Deutsch in Highschool gelernt," you could still count that if you want to make your number look impressive. Not trying to knock Polymathy or anything, as he clearly knows a lot, but his accomplishments shouldn't make you feel less accomplished if you "only" know (ie are conversational in) 2 or even 1 foreign language.

I speak Spanish but have dabbled in at least understanding Italian. I think Italian of the big 5 is the closest to Latin. I heard people argue that because it is a bit artificially constructed and with a much older base that it is closer. That makes a lot of sense to me. And definitely for accents, you have an Italian accent in the few things I have heard when you speak in Spanish which is so much better than an American accent. I think a lot of it is the stress difference.

On a different note, have you listened to Boccherini's 'Pines of Rome'?

Εὖγε!! So glad that your channel is getting all this traction - I thoroughly enjoy each and every video, and would like to thank you for all the interesting and inspiring content. Can't wait for you to branch out into aviation and space - I love following these topics on KZbin as well. I've probably seen every documentary ever made on black holes! :-D

[@VulcanTrekkie45]

Oh man the mention of Billy Joel now has me really wanting a Latin cover of "We Didn't Start the Fire" detailing the end of the Republic

[@polyMATHY_Luke]

Great idea!

You inspire me a lot, man. Salve from Brasilia :)

Obrigado!

Massive congrats mate.

Îmi place că vorbești limba română. Este limba mea preferată. Congratulations on 50k!

[@polyMATHY_Luke]

Și eu ador limba română!

[@AndreiIorgulescu]

Salut Tiffany! Ca și român, mă bucură afirmația ta și îți mulțumesc pentru ea. Ce îți place așa mult despre limba română?

[@TiffanyHallmark]

@@AndreiIorgulescu Este foarte frumoasă și sună minunată. Îmi place în special vocabularul. Dacă sunt sincer, am început să studiez limba română din cauza lui Vlad al III-lea.

In many ways, you are my role model, Mr. Scorpio! I am also a polyglot and I consider myself somewhat of a polymath as well. Your channel had helped me with improving my Latin immensely. And, in a way, it even guided me to understand some concepts which are vital to learning Modern Greek! Although, to be honest, I mostly concentrate my attention on modern languages. The list of the languages I speak is compiled by the level of fluency and comprehension (or the lack thereof, haha): Russian; English; Spanish; Portuguese; French; Italian; Esperanto; German; Catalan and Valencian; Swedish; Norwegian; Polish; Ukrainian; Latin; Modern Greek; Mandarin Chinese. Out of those, I can speak about 7 or 8 fluently and can understand about 10 or 13, depending on what you define as ''understand'' :D

[@ElisabethOrchard]

Congrats, Herzlichen Glückwunsch and gratulatio for your 50k! Very well deserved, both of your channels are amazing! You also managed to reawaken my interest in Latin, I do have a Latinum (German Latin certificate) but because I basically ignored the language for the past 10 years I forgot surprisingly much about it. I do want to refresh my knowledge though (or rather relearn everything I forgot, I am afraid)

[@polyMATHY_Luke]

Thanks so very much, Elisabeth! You can do it! 😊

One think I like about you is your voice, and smoothness of delivery. You're easy to listen to and like.

That's kind of you

Wow Lucas....12 languages!!!!!! You are amazing!!!!

[@Alex-gn1ws]

Fantastic to see you able to speak so many languages. You remind me of my Arabic professor in my university times. 12 languages spoken perfectly XD A brilliant man, for sure. Nice to see more people being able to speak so many languages and do it with so much passion. Fericitari si numai bine! :D

Hi, what a surprise, you can also speak Portuguese. It is my native language but my accent is of Brazilian Portuguese. I love your videos, they are very instructive and a great inspiration. I have recentely begun studying Latin with the book you recommended, Familia Romana. Excellent advise, I am really enjoying it. I am currently taking courses on Russian and German. Language learning is my passion. Bye.

We Hills of Wales have been through the minefield with Covid & 1 thing & another ! But let’s look at the positive side ? I have the lockdown to  for me being able to learn Latin grammar ! Having time on my hands ;; I thought it was easy ; It being a case of “this word means that “so I will set up a goal to make sense of of 3 words a week ! But ! Stop ! No ! Quad Kerry Hill ? Halt provectibils tū persona poeta Spëctābam ! I didn’t know about any syntax , grammatical structure , declension & construction of conjugations ! Being amazed at why I thought of myself, above all , especially with other people confirming that I am the best writer come poet , who frequented each rhyme app going on the Apple App Store ! Okay I’m Sorry For Being Big Eded ,, as we say in Yorkshire ,, where we drop off H’s & has no articles either " saying “that’s champion & Ohh Eck ".werit ) referring to ( was it ) & the ultimate northern greeting ( ow-do )) I have changed so much) Bene Lukeus Amadeus & keep safe out on your travels //

As a fellow language nerd, I am so grateful for the work you put into this channel. Joual is the closest Romance language to Latin. Pig Latin is a close second.

[@parrot027j8]

"Why do you study Latin if it's no use for you?" God how often have I heard this question! And I'm always like "BECAUSE IT'S BEAUTIFUL AND STUDYING LATIN FILLS MY HEART WITH IMMESURABLE JOY"

I really liked this video, I've had to watch it twice! BTW I firstly discovered Luc when I was looking for modern songs in Latin, then I started to watch ScorpioMartianus channel (I was sure Luc was an Italian who teaches Lain) Than I found PolyMaty and I was like "WHAT! He is an English speaker??" 😂😂

[@polyMATHY_Luke]

[@HeWhoHungers]

When I was studying Chinese in Beijing, I went to this performance of Antigone that was being done in the campus theatre (in Chinese obviously), and I got to talk to a student studying French who also took Latin classes and ended up attending one of them to see what it was like. From what I'd seen they mostly read biblical Latin, but the teaching methods were really interesting to see. In most cases the teacher ended up speaking a mix of Latin, English (because the book they used was in English) and Chinese.

[@mariapicciBeauty]

Congrats per questo grande traguardo Luke!!! 🎉❤

Grazie, Maria!

[@androune45]

Félicitations! Your answer to "why learn languages" made me think of the quote "la langue est l'âme d'un peuple" :) I'm looking forward to some space content, and if I may offer a suggestion dinosaurs are pretty cool too (did the ancient world knew about them???)

[@georgios_5342]

Amazing! A huge bravo on your achievement, I wish you're with us for many more years to come and that your channel continues to grow! PS amazing transition from Modern Greek to Ancient Greek 😂 θέλω να μιλάω στα νέα ελληνικά αλλά ῥᾷον ἐστὶ μοι τῇ ἀρχαίᾳ ἑλληνικῇ γλώττῃ διαλέγεσθαι
