In this video I answer 6 questions about the value of learning Latin and Greek plus various issues related to their study:
00:00 What is the value of learning a dead language rather than a living one?
05:52 Should you learn one or the other first, or both simultaneously?
09:48 Should you learn dead languages first, or living ones?
12:26 How is learning an ancient language different from learning a living one, and are they more or less difficult?
15:21 How do you go from the traditional grammar and reading approach to Latin and Greek to learning them like living languages?
18:14 What is the best way to start learning these languages on your own?
