Why Learn Latin? I talk to Luke Ranieri from @ScorpioMartianus YouTube channel to have a LIVE conversation about Latin, language learning/teaching, building a YouTube community, and anything else that comes up during the stream. It's going to be a casual conversation. Just two language nerds hang out. We're looking forward to seeing you there. 🤓

The conversation is going to be held in English but it's likely you will be able to hear some Latin or other languages spoken too! 🤠
