Method for all London Latin videos:


The London Latin series delivers the material from the George Adler's book "Practical Grammar of the Latin Language."

Repeat aloud all Latin as prompted during these videos.

At the conclusion of the video, use one exercise book for recording new tables, words and their meanings as they are given, and a second book for the exercitatio in which you will record the questions and answers in Latin, as well as their English translations.

Note that in early videos whenever Evan refers to a noun e.g. pilleus as 'the thing in itself' he means the nominative case (i.e. the hat is either the subject of the sentence or the predicate nominative), and when he refers to a noun e.g. pilleum as being acted upon/manipulated etc. he means the accusative case (i.e. the hat is the direct object of the sentence.)

All material from the video for both exercise books is given below.



pilleus..................m..nom..a hat
pilleum.................m..acc..a hat

Habeo...................I have
Habes...................You have

The enclitic suffix -ne transforms the verb into a question:

Habeone...............Do I have?
Habesne...............Do you have?

est.........................It is
estne.....................Is it?
mihi......................To me
tibi........................To you

Exercitatio:

Habesne pilleum?..................Do you have a hat?
Pilleum habeo..........................I have a hat

Estne tibi pilleus?..................Do you have a hat?             
Est mihi pilleus........................I have a hat
