I feel that the young lady trying to understand spoken Latin must have felt a bit like how modern day Italians feel when they meet a group of people speaking another romance language. They can't speak but can understand MOST of it. Fascinating as usual, dear polyMATHY!

It is amazing that Latin still has a high level of intelligibility to speakers of modern Latin languages. If someone spoke to a modern English speaker in old English, they'd understand very little.

As a Latin teacher, this video is the best thing I could wish to be on Youtube! You speak Latin in a very clear way, with subtitles, while showing the marvelous world of Pompeii (even with the latest restored buildings) and showing a complete Roman restaurant. My oldest students are trying to convince the school principal to organize a trip to Pompeii and I support them! Keep spreading the love for the Roman culture! :D

They say the walls have ears, and if we anthromorphize it a bit, I would think the walls of the Pompeii ruins would be elated to hear Latin spoken on the streets again after millenia of being severely "clogged with earwax".

un americano che divulga il latino , grandioso ...penso che noi gli italiani prima o poi un premio a quest'uomo glielo daremo

You should try to speak Latin in Sardinia, since Sardinian is considered the closest living language to Latin.

This is just beautiful. I'm going to petition the italian government to hire and make more of latin video in historical place. I often thought that would be amazing to visit a roman/Greek temple built just like it was. Just like that restaurant is a reconstruction of an actual Roman restaurant.

Absolutely amazing. If you think of the significance of what these great people have just done? This could be the first time in 2000 years, a group of people sitting down in Pompeii having dinner and conversing in Latin. Bravo 👏

Even in Welsh we get Latin words from the Roman occupation of Britain like “eglwys” “mêl” and “ffenestr” the impact of the Romans was absolutely incredible

Vesuvius: Quid? Haven't heard that in a while

Dude idk how you do it. Besides the fact that you engage great in the comment section, you somehow manage to make Latin interesting to me. I’m not saying it’s dull, just that it’s something I never considered that I had any interest in, but your content really makes it a more normalized thing for me and makes me appreciate the Latin used around me all the time. Really cool stuff.

Being a native portuguese speaker, it's frighteningly easy to understand Latin. I just booked classes, and I'll be fluent in no time. I'm determined.

I'm Italian and I started a month ago my first year of high school! I already fell in love with Latin, it's so beautiful! At the moment it's one of my favourite subjects (even though it's quite difficult)!

I just graduated high school, this is my first time seeing Latin being spoken conversationally today. I would’ve loved to share this with my Latin teacher.

Time traveler and disaster survivor Latin man revisits his own home.

I'm from Gran Canaria and I've had enough with active volcanoes lol, might visit Pompeii someday.

I tuoi video sono davvero uno spettacolo puro. Questa volta, un gruppo di ragazzi che chiacchierano in latino nel bel mezzo del patrimonio culturale di Pompei, semplicemente meraviglioso! Penso che ci siano davvero poche altre cose così belle e interessanti su YouTube! Non smettere mai per favore! ❤️🙏

Ok this is weird. I speak Spanish and if I only listen I pick up about 25%. If I read the subtitles (the Latin ones) I’m probably at 85% if not a bit higher. The best way I can describe it, while I’m reading Latin the Latin subtitles, and at the same listening to them speak latin, it feels instinctual. Like something familiar inside of me is being drawn out. “I’ve been here before”.

I've never before heard this good Italian/Latin pronunciation from Americans 😳😳
