Episode description
Love—Amor—Amour—Amore—Dragoste? 💘 Did you know the Romance languages aren’t named for their romantic allure but for their Roman roots? 🇮🇹🇫🇷🇪🇸🇵🇹🇷🇴
From Latin Amor to Ti amo, Je t’aime, and Te quiero, these languages evolved from Vulgar Latin, spoken across the Roman Empire. Even English borrowed from Latin—think eloquent, loquacious, colloquial! 🏛️
Let’s explore the beauty, history, and connections between French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and Romanian—because all roads really do lead to Rome!
