Latin is extremely useful.

Latin is extremely useful. One major advantage it has, its its grammatical regularity, and its clarity and beauty. Also, the reason it has survived so long, is that a great literature exists written in it, and learning Latin to have access to this literature is well worth the effort.
Thousands of people allover the world learn Latin, even people who have to struggle to do so in places where there are no formal Latin programmes. Many use the Latinum podcast’s free lessons.
The Latinum podcast now has over 50 lessons online, each lesson is composed of several individual episodes comprising:
a. grammar
b. English-Latin conversational dialogue (question and answer)
c. Repetition of the same short dialogues in Latin only, first with pauses, then again more quickly.

There are already thousands of regular users of the lessons, located all over the world. The clickable map on Latinum’s home page gives an insight into where in the world people are studying and listening to Latin.

If you cannot attend an actual Latin class, (and even if you can) then Latinum’s lessons, and extensive vocabulary learning resources, classical text readings, etc, will be an invaluable resource.
Many established Latin programmes, including schools and universities, are also now directing their students to it.
With over 1,300,000 lessons downloaded to date, this is the largest single Latin programme available.
