Or Beginning Latin Online?"
Q: Since the Latin Mass has died, did they stop teaching Latin in Catholic schools as well? Is there such a thing as a correspondence course for Latin or Beginning Latin Online? And how appropriate is it that the first post I respond to in quite a while is about Latin? Anyway, from what my Catholic friends tell me, Latin isn't entirely dead and buried as far as liturgy is concerned. But as far as learning Latin, you're probably better off to just buy a high school textbook and study it on your own time. I've not seen any "correspondence courses" online, but you could try soc.history.ancient or humanities.classics and ask about there. A lot of Latin flies through those two.
A: -Look for "Wheelock's Latin" or something pronounced like that. One of the best. It's actually a college text, but it's in use EVERYWHERE, so it's probably easy to find at your local college bookstore. -But for goodness sake, don't use a classical latin text for pronunciation. Boy did I get a shock when I first heard ecclesiastical latin. God help me, I'm about to recommend a GIA product.."The Correct Pronunciation Of Latin According to Roman Usage" (which is a pared down version of an earlier text) is available for about $6US. It's acceptable, but there's nothing like actually hearing it...which I've done twice since yesterday. High and Low
