The goal is to get students up to a high level of fluency, fast – and the system works, witness its thousands of users. Adler wrote a revolutionary textbook in the mid 1800’s, for teaching Latin through the medium of conversation. The textbook is available online for free as well. http://latinum.mypodcast.com You don’t need a University, or a professor to learn Latin, you just need an ipod and headphones.
