XIX. It's all about confidence

XIX. It's all about confidence

Author: Liam Connerly April 16, 2022 Duration: 20:29

Here, I go into the concept of confidence and why we should instruct and incorporate our lives around building confidence rather than expertise. It's a bit of a Ted talk but I find it highly valuable to reflect and voice my thoughts to later listen to. 


Latin in Layman’s-A Rhetoric Revolution is hosted by grammarian and classicist Liam Connerly. This isn't a dry lecture series, but a practical exploration of how Latin actively shapes the way we communicate and think. Each episode digs into the roots of words, unpacking etymology and the specialized terminology of fields like law, medicine, and botany to build a more powerful vocabulary. The discussion goes beyond memorization, connecting grammatical structures to clearer thinking and more persuasive speech. Liam also uses the podcast as a space for broader reflections on linguistic power and his advocacy for a "Language Revival," arguing for a deeper engagement with our words. Tuning in offers a surprising look at the ancient language's modern pulse, demonstrating how a grasp of Latin fundamentals can refine your command of English and alter your respect for language itself. You'll find the conversation in this education-focused podcast is both accessible and intellectually ambitious, making historical linguistics feel immediately relevant.
