How many successful people do you know who understand Latin?
Suck a dick.

You could go the Montaigne route of using it as a living language around him so he grows up naturally speaking, hearing, and thinking in it. But if you were going to do that, it'd probably be better to do a living language. Historically, one of the big benefits to learning Latin was that it was their version of learning grammar.
That said, the idea of growing up speaking Latin and Greek with my parents sounds incredibly based.
I speak neither Latin nor Greek
Well then get started, homosexual. You can't expect to teach your son something you don't know. Do Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata and the 4 Cambridge textbooks. Learn a bit then start teaching him and agree to speak it with each other as much as possible.
>You can't expect to teach your son something you don't know
that's why I'm asking:
>Are there even teachers of Greek and Latin for preschoolers?
>You could go the Montaigne route of using it as a living language around him so he grows up naturally speaking, hearing, and thinking in it.
This.
Because youre Stupid American and homosexual. Just give your children up for adaption and kys.
Raise them bilingual, of course it would be better to do that with a living language but if you only know Latin it would be very based
Lul, never allow GrecoRoman scholars around preschoolers, man
>send son to classical education themed pre-k
>come home from work one day
>find out my son enslaved the neighbor boys and is forcing them to farm the back yard
>tell him to let the kids go
>he refuses and says that keeping Helots is the right and duty of all Spartiates
Thinking of forming a league with the kung fu kids. I think the house walls are thick enough to protect me from the spartots.
Reading llpsi/familia romana aloud and going through it together is probably the best way to introduce him to Latin, I have no clue about Greek though. Also, there's a handful of translations of kids' works into Latin that are fairy easy to track down, including Winnie the Pooh and diary of a wimpy kid, as well as the hobbit and the first harry potter for when he's a bit older.
>I have no clue about Greek though
I believe there's an Attic Greek course similar to Lingua Latina. Athenase or something.

I had to learn Latin in catholic school but I don't remember any of it.
Most (all) academic Latin courses I've seen are actively dogshit and focus on dry translation of texts instead of learning the language like any other. There is zero reason to do this. Latin was a widely used language until very recently. There is no reason it cannot be spoken, written, and read like any other language.
the Catholic church still uses it for certain documents (and of course for the liturgy) and often editors of classical texts will use it.
You don't. In Germany, at least, there's Latin as an elective, I think.
Don't. The more languages a baby is exposed to, the longer it takes for them to learn to speak, and putting the effort into forcing your child into learning languages for your own ego, is just shit behavior.
>The more languages a baby is exposed to, the longer it takes for them to learn to speak
That's true, but after a few years, bilingual children catch up to their monolingual peers.
yeah, but like I said, forcing your kid to learn greek and latin is just ego. it doesn't help your kid any, and in fact might make their life harder. it't the "intellectual" equivalent of dads forcing their kids to play football, because they used to be the quarterback in highschool.
Private School
I think if you got to a catholic church that still has mass in latin you will find someone willing to teach latin to your kids
About Greek, I study philosophy in university and some of my teachers speak greek, so try to go to some random uni and see if any teachers there speak greek. Most of the teachers are poor as frick, so give them some money and they will help you
YOU yourself ought to be able to speak it, language is acquired in environment, u have to be constantly speaking it in your household, the kids are sponge, they will use it only when its atmospherically used, if he uses it only in class, then it will only become 'language thats present only in class' to make it natural u have to make it just part of daily life.
