Spoken Latin

linguafreund:

Latin is traditionally learned through translation because it’s really only used as a literary language, but spoken Latin has become more popular recently and here are some resources for practicing listening comprehension

Catherine Reed and Justin Bailey’s youtube channels. There is a tag on youtube called the latin listening challenge and some people might have maybe one or two videos but they both have a good amount of videos

Gregory Stringer (magister optimus!) has 80 short videos where he basically just talks about what’s around him and they range in difficulty

Quodiversus Abis has a few videos and she speaks really well

Scott Meadows has almost 375 videos in latin where he goes through the different pieces of latin literature as well as the lingua latina series with his teacher and others. Most videos are about an hour long so definitely check out his channel

Hope this helps!
