Amadevs Ranierivs has his own site in Latin, with a small but growing collection of recordings. Johan also has a presence on YouTube, and you can watch him declaiming Vergil. If you want to try and write to someone in Latin on paper, then the Commericum Epistularum Latinum can set you up with a penpal.įor those interested in Spoken Latin, Johan Winge maintains possibly the best set of links for this topic, besides also offering some of his own recordings of Classical Texts read in very accurate restored classical Latin. Polish people can chat on their own Forum Latinum. Germans can chat about Latin on the Latein Forum. For non English speakers, (French/Spanish/German etc) the Latin Forum on Wordreference might be of more interest. Another Forum, only in Latin, is Fora Latina. There is another active Latin Forum, with a different group of users to the textkit crowd, called Latin Forum. There is also an active Latin language discussion forum on Google groups. Radiophonica Finnica has a the most active Latin language forum on the internet - Colloquia Latina. Schola provides a space where all the writing must be in Latin, and where correcting or commenting on other member's Latin is prohibited. Given the numbers of people studying Latin around the world, there is a paucity of writing in Latin itself. errors resolve themselves through further study and reading. This fear of being corrected, and indeed, being corrected, is, I think, counterproductive when learning a language. Looking around online, I have found almost no-where where it is comfortable to write publicly in Latin, without the fear that someone will come along and correct you. Eclassics is a new and fast growing site, where you can set up a user profile with a photo or avatar, keep a blog, and in addition share videos and photos with other students and teachers of Latin. Textkit is the effective 'user form' for the Latinum podcast, for when you have a grammar question.
Textkit has a lively forum, most of the posting is in English, some posters use Latin. One advantage, to my mind, of using correct vowel length (and the circumflex) is that it gives you time to slow down, and draw out a word when you need time to think, so that your speech becomes more flowing. With over 1 700 regular users of the Latinum podcast as of 2008, this situation will hopefully change over the next few years, as users of the podcast aquire familiarity with the spoken language. There are at present only a handful of people on earth who can speak as fluently as Terentius or Milena. These speakers represent the best speakers presently on the planet, so you can assess your own progress against these speakers. The main differences you will note is that some speakers are not clear with vowel quantity in their spoken Latin, others are excellent, and the circumflex accent (rising and falling tone on a long penultimate) that I use in Latinum, is not used by these speakers, so their Latin sounds 'flatter'. This site is constantly being added to, and should prove very useful to users of Latinum. If you have reached around lesson 40 in Adler, you should be able to get the gist of what is being said pretty well. Here you can watch snippets of conversation in spoken Latin. Of use to a learner of spoken Latin, is the Latin video site started up in March 2008 at the University of Kentucky. This is not going to be your typical links page, but more of a combination of links and short reviews of various Latin educational sites I've stumbled across in my online perambulations. LATINUM, the name of the Latin language learning podcast offered on.
