For those who are interested in studying Latin, here is a resource which will help in study.
Latin Per Diem
The channel is run by Dr. David Noe, an elder at Reformation OPC in Grand Rapids, MI, licentiate in the presbytery of Michigan and Ontario, Dept. Chair of Philosophy at Calvin University, professor of Classics, History, and Philosophy. He has also translated at least two of the treatises of the republished works of William Perkins in Volume 6.
All that to say, this isn't run by an amateur YouTuber.
Dr. Noe's own claim is that if you study these videos you'll have everything you need to know to be proficient in Latin. His own recommendation is to watch one video a day with a notebook, take notes on what you read, review it, and you'll be on your way to Latin proficiency.
This is probably better suited to those who have already mastered basic grammatical concepts of Latin, or have attained a proficient level of Greek, since much of it will assume you understand the foundations. It wouldn't make for a "Latin 101" course, but will bring you deeper into Latin by direct study and analysis of classic texts.
A complementary resource in which Dr. Noe participates is the Ad Navseum podcast, featuring discussions on literature and events of the ancient Western world. No study of language should be disjoined from the study of its native speakers and writers.
May be a good endeavor, as @Travis Fentiman tells us in this thread that much of the Reformed gold is still locked up in Latin.
@Regi Addictissimus is invited for further comments on these resources.
