hey guys welcome back to the channel
0:02
today I'm diving into something a bit
0:04
unexpected a Latin dictionary yes you
0:07
heard that right latin might be
0:09
considered a dead language but it's very
0:11
much alive in our textbooks and academic
0:13
circles so you might be asking yourself
0:16
which Latin dictionary should you invest
0:17
in which one stands out from the rest
0:20
well I've spent the last week exploring
0:22
some of the most popular options
0:24
available let's break it down together
0:26
first up we have the Oxford Latin
0:28
Dictionary this is a heavyweight in the
0:30
world of Latin dictionaries think of it
0:33
as the Rolls-Royce of Latin dictionaries
0:35
luxurious and comprehensive it boasts
0:38
over 40,000 entries making it incredibly
0:41
thorough for any serious Latin scholar
0:44
if you're deeply invested in Latin
0:46
studies this is definitely the go-to
0:48
resource for you the only catch it's on
0:51
the pricier side so you might want to
0:52
check it out at your local library first
0:55
next let's discuss the Collins Latin
0:57
Dictionary and Grammar this one's a bit
1:00
different it's more budget friendly
1:02
making it a great choice for beginners
1:04
or those just starting out it combines
1:06
dictionary entries with a grammar guide
1:08
which is super handy for learning the
1:10
ropes however it doesn't have as many
1:13
entries as the Oxford so advanced
1:15
students might find it a bit lacking in
1:17
depth then there's the Cassell's Latin
1:19
dictionary which offers a nice middle
1:21
ground this one strikes a balance
1:24
between depth and affordability making
1:26
it a solid choice for many with around
1:28
35,000 entries it's known for being
1:31
userfriendly and easy to navigate plus
1:34
it's compact enough to fit in your
1:36
backpack without weighing you down
1:38
perfect for onthe-go study sessions now
1:41
if you're more into digital tools don't
1:43
worry i've got you covered there too
1:45
william Whitaker's Words is an excellent
1:47
free online dictionary that's worth
1:49
checking out while it may not be as
1:51
comprehensive as the Oxford it's
1:53
incredibly convenient and fast for quick
1:55
lookups it's perfect for those moments
1:58
when you need a quick answer on the go
2:00
right from your phone or
2:01
laptop lastly there's the Lewis and
2:04
Short Latin dictionary a true classic in
2:06
the field this one's been around for
2:08
ages and is a staple in many academic
2:11
settings it has a vast number of entries
2:14
but it can be a bit overwhelming for
2:16
some users plus the print is quite small
2:19
so be prepared to do some squinting if
2:20
you choose this one so which dictionary
2:23
is the best choice for you honestly it
2:25
all depends on your specific needs and
2:27
where you are in your Latin journey if
2:30
you're just starting out the Collins or
2:32
Cassels might be the perfect fit for you
2:34
