Latin video lessons every week
To learn Latin well you have to immerse yourself in the language and its literature.
But most Latin literature is too difficult for intermediate and even advanced students.
Our videos lessons help make fascinating Latin literature accessible in Latin. And with new lessons coming your way all the time, you will always have something in Latin to watch.
The platform we use for our community with Latin videos is Patreon.com.
Create a habit
Each video breaks down a text, or Latin expressions, and explains them thoroughly all in Latin.
These videos will help you unlock the hidden gems of Latin literature and discover new texts, and expressions in 10–20 minute videos all in Latin.
Curious about Latinitium?
Every Friday we publish a vlog – a video update with what we’ve been working on, or what has been on our mind the past week. Sometimes Daniel sneaks in really good tips for Latin learners, other times he talks about a good book. Sometimes there are anecdotes and sometimes he reveals new projects or thoughts that we want to share with you.
The weekly update is not only a good way to calm curiosity, it is also all in Latin!

The directory
We have listed everything we’ve published for our patrons in a directory to make everything a little easier to find. Take a peak if you’re curious. We update the list every now and then.
The only thing not listed is the weekly vlog, which you can find under the tag “Nuntius diei Veneris”.
Who teaches?
All lessons are taught by me, Daniel Pettersson. I am a Latin teacher, speaker, author and am currently researching the pedagogy of 16th century Latin school dialogues.
Your are awesome
What your support means to us
The truth is, we couldn’t keep Latinitium going without the support of our readers, patrons and customers. Our patrons have made sure that we’ve been able to pay for everything from server costs to a new microphone when the old one decided to start sounding like this: “mmmmmmm”.
Keeping a site like Latinitium going is expensive, truth be told, as everything costs: domain name, research, maintenance, equipment, plug-ins, time.
But with the incredible help from you, we are still afloat and we are working hard to make Latinitium better and better and better.
So for all the help and support we have gotten, and for all the help and support we will get in the future: Thank you! You are awesome!
What about those moose?
You might be wondering about the “mascots” for each tier – the moose.
They are a tribute to one of our first ever videos that we made here on Latinitium – Six strange stories told about moose. They are also there to remind us about where we come from: the north (which is full of moose), as well as not to take everything too seriously but to let loose sometimes and have fun.
They have been illustrated by Amelie Rosengren and all wear different attributes suitable for Romans of different class and rang.
