Lectiones Antiquae
Ἐν γράμμασι καλόν
Who am I?
My name is Giovani Marchi Frizarin, and I am from São Paulo, Brazil.
My passion for Latin and Ancient Greek begun when, at 15, I read Schopenhauer's book The Art of Literature. In this work, he demonstrates how important these two classical languages for anyone wanting to deeply understand and enjoy Europe's cultural heritage.
I started teaching Latin to a group of friends at 19, while I studied Literature and Translation at Universidade São Judas. At 23, I decided that teaching should be my full time occupation and have been working on Lectiones Antiquas since then.
Hobbies and goals
My hobbies include playing basketball, skateboarding and learning foreign languages. Currently, besides my mother tongue (Portuguese) and the languages I teach (Latin and Ancient Greek), I speak English, French, Italian, and Modern Greek. I am also learning Spanish, Romanian, Japanese and Arabic.
Even though I enjoy recording different kinds of books, my true passion is poetry. My main goal is to see all major poetic works of Greco-Roman literature published on my YouTube channel Lectiones Antiquae.
