The Latinum Institute offers a complete Latin Language Audio Course for self-study, Adler's Practical Grammar of the Latin Language.
The Adler Audio Course is comprised of 97 lessons, comprising 190 hours of audio.
The Adler Course forms part of a larger suite of materials with well over a thousand of hours of Latin audio, to help you reach Latin fluency. This suite of materials can be accessed via the Latinum Audiobook Catalogue.
Supplementary Study resources for the Adler Course
In addition to the Adler Audio Course, a suite of supplementary study materials specifically for Adler's course have been created:
Adler's Textbook is available for free on Google Books here.
The Dictata (Exercises) are free on Google Books is here
- The Dictata (Exercises) transcription by Carolus Raeticus is here

If you prefer to have each lesson segment as a separate audio file, I recommend you subscribe to the download catalogue .
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)
1. 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.
2. Model question-answer conversations in Latin-English-Latin. Here you consolidate your vocabulary, and learn the grammatical structures in use.
3. Slow repetition and fast repetition of the conversational material in Latin only, for review.

You will find everything you need here to learn Latin to an advanced level. There is no need to even buy a single textbook, if you are prepared to use digital books.
The Institute
Molendinarius (Evan der Millner), the founder of the institute, rediscovered Adler's textbook shortly after Google scanned it, and over a two year period of full-time work, he converted it with painstaking care into an audio course. The Greek, Hebrew and French courses offered by the Latinum Institute follow the same method.
Mastery
The Latinum Institute offers you the tools to master Latin and Greek, in all its forms. 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 steps 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.
The Latinum Institute has subscribers at all learning levels - complete beginners, those wanting to brush up on old Latin, Greek or Hebrew (and Aramaic) and advanced students at university level. Several Latin teachers also subscribe to The Latinum Institute, and use the materials for professional development. There is also an audio-visual component to help beginners.
