The Latinum Institute has produced a student level audio book of Corderius' famous scripted conversations, knows as the 'Colloquies'.
This text was one of the most frequently studied Latin workbooks for over 300 years. Teachers and students stopped using it when the craze for 'authentic' Latin swept the Latin teaching world in the mid 1800's. All 'artificial' Latin was thrown out of the schoolroom.
The result of this was a rapid and speedy decline in student fluency and ability in Latin, as no texts suitable for beginners have come down to us from Roman times; all the works we have are literary.
The 'fake' Latin that these schoolmasters and academicians found so objectionable were written as easy-access texts for beginners. The irony is that the renaissance teachers who created these texts, were deliberately trying to revive and create more materials that were similar to the few surviving student textbooks that have come down to us from ancient times, the so-called Hermeneumata.
These texts were simple dialogues and scenarios from day to day life, in simple Latin, aimed at very young students.
Corderius' dialogues are modelled after this fashion, and comprise scripted dialogues on a number of topics.
The Latinum Institute's audio version has these read in Latin and English phrase by phrase, and then a separate Latin only version.
Two editions of the text have been recorded, each one has subtle differences in idiom.
The Latinum Institute also offers a complete Latin Audio Course, the Adler Course.
