The Latinum Course for Online Study of Latin and Greek


         Salve,

    Welcome to the Latinum Course.  Since 2006, many thousands of students across the world have used the Latinum Course Materials - on YouTube, or with the provided audio materials here on Patreon and the original (now defunct) Latinum Podcast, where it all started.
    I invite you to start listening, to become more fluent. Knowledge of the classical languages will give you an unbroken view across thousands of years of European Civilisation. Climbing the mountain to reach the vantage point that is fluency, is worth the effort. The Latinum Course will hold your hand as you proceed, leading to fewer pitfalls along the way. We can't remove the effort required, but we can make the ascent more pleasant.

    Summary:
    Latinum teaches Latin and Greek, with some Hebrew and Aramaic. The site opens a pathway to full command of the language. (The YouTube site additionally has French, Hebrew and English language resources)

    You will find everything you need here to learn Latin to an advanced level. There is no need to even buy textbooks, if you are prepared to use digital books.

    Method:
    Molendinarius (Evan der Millner) has recreated Adler's famous textbook as an audio course. The Greek, Hebrew and French courses follow the same method.

    The goal is to give 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 ( possibly the most complete Latin course yet written, covering 4 years of full-time education), Adler‘s Practical Grammar, Kontopoulos' Greek Course, and other 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. 

Join our Locutorium Latinum at Skype. There are over 260 members in our Latin Language chatroom! Only Latin can be used. Beginners are welcome, we all have to start somewhere. Please message Evan on Skype if you want to be added to the group. e_p_millner (Molendinarius)
