These exercises do a superb job of training you to think in the language. I believe this is the pinnacle of what Evan has been working toward for the past fifteen years or so. I would finally like to mention The Latinum Institute's new Prendergast Mastery Series. If you progress through the learning material as prescribed on The Latinum Institute, no matter how long it might take you, you will have mastered the language by the end of it. Everyone learns anything, including a language, at their own pace, but once you've got it you've got it. The learner can cover the material at his or her own pace without getting discouraged by being behind the rest the class or bored by being ahead of the rest of the class. The time aspect of becoming fluent in a language is provided by The Latinum Institute in that there is no requirement to cover a certain amount of material in a certain amount of time, as there is in a traditional school setting. The recordings provide the most structured language progression I have yet encountered, including an online weekly conversational Latin course I once took that cost more for ten weeks than an entire year's subscription to The Latinum Institute. Being an independent learner of Latin and Ancient Greek with no access to a daily classroom setting where those languages are spoken as living languages, I am very grateful for the Latinum Institute's recordings that I can use on my own at home for as long and often as I want.

Most of what I hear is incomprehensible, and so I learn very little. They are too advanced for me, and so there is very little comprehensible input. All of the other Latin podcasts, etc., I have encountered do not have this progression. The slow progression is provided by lessons that advance at very slight gradations in a sequence that if completed you will become fluent without realizing it, much like you have with your native language. The Latinum Institute provides both of these. Fluency in any language takes a slow progression and a lot of time. In my opinion, The Latinum Institute is the best online resource for helping a learner become fluent in Latin and Ancient Greek. However, the Key to Adler's grammar, also available on google is an excellent scan.Best Online Resource for Latin and Ancient Greek Fluency I will post these pages online, once I have scanned them. It is such a pity Google made such a dog's breakfast ot it, but on the other hand, it is amazing that it exists online as a scan at all. I have ordered a copy of Adler's textbook on interloan, as unfortunately the google books scan is deficient in a rather large number of places. As the lessons advance, they take the form of short dialogues, using the vocabulary that has been learned up until that point in the lesson. Then the whole lesson is repeated again, at a faster pace. The sentences are read out slowly, with pauses in between, giving the student the opportunity to either think about the material, or to recite it aloud. I have also made one sample episode in French and Latin, and another in German and Latin.

Part B contains extensive examples of spoken Latin, given in English and Latin, the Latin is repeated twice. Part A of each recorded lesson is a grammatical exposition. The project will take over a year to complete, I estimate. The lessons from Adler's 'A Practical Grammar of the Latin Language for Speaking and Writing Latin' are now divided into clear sections: I am now up to lesson 13, still a long way to go yet. Each new posting is now picking up around 200 downloads, and in total I get around 800 - 1000 files downloaded per day, I expect this will increase come the start of the academic year, but that it will slow down over August. I've been working hard on the Latinum podcast.
