Latinitium — Latin literature, history, and expressions

I took Latin back in middle school because they had the idea of using it to help bring up the average test scores or something like that. I actually had to opt out a few weeks in because I had a really hard time with the tests. I could translate it for the busywork during class but on test days I had a problem with remembering it and I was put in a study hall. However it didn’t put me off of wanting to learn. I’m glad that I did that cause it helped when I got to high school. It was a great thing to know when you take biology and anatomy/physiology. Breaking down the terminology to its roots helped me figure out the meaning of the words. If Im honest, foreign languages are not my strong suit, two years of Spanish and I barely made it. Talk about having to be tutored by your Spanish 1 teacher in the morning while you’re taking Spanish 2. Glad to see that there are podcasts that are focusing on such a beneficial language even if it is kinda a dead language.

Studied Latin 30 years ago in HS, now buffing it up for Liturgical reasons. Thank you for this steam of Latin. I’ll eventually understand, for now it’s getting used to the sounds again. Thank God I learned Spanish in the interim or I’d be completely lost.

This podcast is awesome. The speaker's pronunciation is outstanding, and the texts are well chosen. Thank you for making this wonderful resource available!

Not only is this an amazing podcast, but it has also helped with my Latin: When I first started listening, I had to slow it down to 80% speed. Gradually I was able to switch that to 90%. Now I listen at speed. Furthermore, it's just SO beautifully done—the audio is great, the texts and images accompanying it are great. Macte virtūte, Latīnitī!
