I started using Latinum in June

I started using Latinum in June, after taking a more traditional Latin course through the University of Wales. I did all right with that course, but I never felt really confident that I knew the language (even though I scored a 92% on the final test) I've been going through the lessons from Adler, and listening to the audio, and I now feel as if I'm learning the language in a way that will stay with me. There is a possibility that I'll get to teach Latin to grade school students in January, and I want to be prepared.

It's been very helpful to listen to the language as I'm studying - I think that's what makes this work so well. I've gotten up to lesson 29 so far, and I had a friend who knows Latin well make a test for me up to that point, so I'm reviewing the audio whenever I can.

Looking forward to continuing on with the next part of the course and listening to some of the additional audio selections. Thank you for all the work you've done!
