You Tube Part III: Latin Language Course for Latin Speaking

This series of Latin videos by Evan der Millner, the Latin Language Course, is something that I would like to start incorporating with my lower level Latin courses right away.  It takes the same approach as Rosetta Stone and other language learning tools, but for Latin. Second Language Acquisition scholarship supports the idea that repetition through speech and connecting words to pictures or physical objects helps learners to acquire vocabulary more easily than through their primary language or simple memorization of word lists.

You Tube Part II: Tutubus

Although some of these lessons were designed with the Cambridge Latin Course in mind, Tutubus is a great resource because of its lessons on constructing Latin sentences.  Many of my students struggle with how Latin sentences are constructed because they are so accustomed to English word order, and these help students to under it a bit better.  Additionally, there is a video series called "Learning Latin with Vergil."  Although I have not yet used this series, I would be tempted to try it with my Latin 1 students next year as a good jumping off point from a more cohesive storyline than a traditional textbook.

You Tube Part I: Latin Tutorial

For teachers interested in flipping the classroom, there is really no need to reinvent the wheel. A high school teacher from Maine named Ben Johnson has created a number of helpful videos for Latin students to review a vast number of grammar concepts called Latin Tutorial. I use these videos mostly to either introduce my students to a topic that I am covering in class or to review a topic that we have already covered.  Most of my students like to watch videos, and the motion and voice over on the powerpoint presentation keeps it interesting.
