Youtube Channel : LATINUM.ORG.UK

This channel accompanies a website which sells a lot of the resources that are used in the course, however the Youtube Channel is free and there are hundreds of videos on there, many with a specific focus on Latin, including children's books in Latin.

The owner of these videos presents an entire Latin course in Latin, allowing you to learn in Latin, rather than permanently translate everything. Whilst I haven't yet found the website as useful since everything is paid, I definitely think that the videos could enhance your learning if you watch them.


The first lesson is embedded above, so you can see what I mean. I hope that you take the time to check out the rest of this guy's videos!

Featured Podcast

This week features two podcasts by X. Subashi who reads Cicero's Pro Caelio

There are two versions, a natural version
capturing the sound, rhythm, and pace of natural speech and performance
The other is a study version
read at a slow pace, with articulation, word groups, and clauses emphasized. 
These should help to get a genuine idea of what the latin should sound like as well as help to study the texts.

Featured Book


History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (Volume 1) by Edward Gibbon is a great book for anyone who is interested in the Roman Empire.




It is quite dense, but written very clearly - definitely not an easy read but worth it! 


You can find the book for free on iTunes
