Latin in Layman’s - A Rhetoric Revolution

Short and sweet one again! Here we go over our last declension in Latin!!! Yayayayaya!!!… Don’t get too excited, we still have lots o’ chapters and concepts to cover!

Short lil’ episode going over some irregularities and things to note in the passive system. Nothing new here though! Kick back and reeeelllaaaxxx.

Here we go over the very distinctive -u- stem declension. We go over both the grammar and a little linguistic history to add a lol’ cherry on top. Nice a short episode for y’all that have a short attention span… aka the majority pop.

Here I go over the formation, literal translation, and functions of the perfect passive system in all of its forms: present prefect passive, pluperfect passive, future perfect passive… I recommend to do a little refresher of the present passive system in order to remember just how we form passive verbs and what type of agents (Not Direct Objects!!!!) they expect.

More pronoun stuff and understanding some basic fundamentals in grammar as we tackle what clauses are, subordinating clauses, antecedents, and just why the heck they’re so important to our understanding of language and sentence structure! I’M NOT BORING I PROMISE.

Here I go over the concept of the third declension I-Stem nouns and the three ablative forms that accompany it. Lots of grammar in this, but a very important and rather easy concept!

Here I go over a wide array of concepts and linguistic markers in order to understand pronouns in their entirety as they function in both Latin and English - where they both compliment and contrast one another. I go on a small tangent about Porto-Indo-European linguistic characters and how they’ve been passed through language. I want to thank my professor Dr. Mark Damen for giving me a deeper know...

Here we go over MORE pronouns and understand the distinctions between the various forms we’ve learned thus far… A thing to note: reflexives reflect the subject and intensives intensify an action. This one is fun!!!

I love this tense. Here, we dive into understanding and conjugating the perfect tense, pluperfect (the even more perfect tense!), and the future perfect tense. You’re slowly becoming a master at your craft and I show you just that to close out the episode.

Here we go over the fourth and fifth conjugation verb forms… Known as the third-io because it shares more forms with the third but doesn’t surpass the form of the fourth. All tense are covered as well

Here I dive into demonstrative pronouns for our first of many pronoun lessons. I give a basis of understanding and memorizing irregularities as well as give you a history/etymological lesson!

Here we go over my least favorite conjugation… *sigh*… but at least the imperfect doesn’t have irregularities! Plus, it gives us more Latin vocabulary to draw from.

Here we dive into our “catch-all” declension, as I like to call it. With being given a new declension (Yes, I speak in passive voice sometime, don’t @ me), we are essentially given a whole new set of vocabulary. There is both bonus et malus news with this chapter

Here I dissect the future and imperfect tenses and help us understand how the imperfect is NOT simple past! I also ramble a bit and ask for y’all for ideas on future episodes! Thanks for the support and will definitely consider knitting you a sweater if you leave me 5 stars on Apple Podcasts!
