Latin

Welcome to the Latinum Institute


The Latinum Institute offers a complete Latin Language Audio Course for self-study, including Adler's Practical Grammar of the Latin Language.

You will find everything you need here to study to an advanced level. There is no need to even buy a single textbook, if you are prepared to use digital books. Links to online free textbooks are provided, where these are available. The audio course materials are designed to be 'stand-alone', and can be used without sitting down in front of a book. You can study on the go, in your car, out walking or running, or while doing household chores.

Structure

 The Adler Audio Course is structured in the following way:
Each of the 97 lessons is in 3 parts: ( except for the first four lessons, which follow a slightly different arrangement)

• Grammar and syntax with extensive paradigms added to the text. The grammar is very detailed, with large numbers of additional paradigms and useful memory clues. Vocabulary is presented in advance of every lesson.
• Model question-answer conversations in Latin-English-Latin. Here you consolidate your vocabulary, and learn the grammatical structures in use.
• Slow repetition and fast repetition of the conversational material in Latin only, for review.

 Suggested Curriculum for using the supporting course materials 

Read reviews of Latinum at Trust Pilot

    

All the Latin audio here is carefully read in restored classical pronunciation. Evan der Millner's pronunciation of Latin has been extensively peer reviewed, and conforms to the academic gold standard - W S Allen's 'Vox Latina', Sturtevant, and the Cambridge Philological Society guidelines. Greek pronunciation used on the course follows a form of reconstructed Koine, approximating the way Greek may have sounded during era of the late Roman republic.. 

Mastery

The Latinum Institute offers you the tools to master Latin and Greek. To this end, textbooks that were written for teaching Latin as a ‘workhorse’ language are used – including parts of Comenius‘ famous 17th century course, Adler‘s Practical Grammar, Kontopoulos' Greek Course, and extensive supplementary materials. 

You can follow the curriculum broadly outlined here – but feel free to use the materials in any order. For Latin, you are encouraged to begin working with Adler and Comenius.
