Some of your readers might be interested in picking up a bit of colloquial conversational Latin.
The Latinum podcast offers a unique, free, course in conversational Classical Latin.This course has the complete Adler text online in audio, formatted so that it can be used independently of the textbook. Each lesson ( of which there are 96) is composed of several 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 Living 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 3,700,000 lessons downloaded to date, this is the largest single Latin programme available.
