COURSE ON THE LIVING LATIN LANGUAGE, Second Edition, Amended and Enlarged, by Father Suitbert H. Siedl, of St. John of the Cross, O.C.D. One volume with twenty-six compact discs. [U.S. $90.00 plus $7.05 postage and handling and U.S. $19.77 P & H to Canada.] This course is the fruit of a nearly lifetime long experience in teaching and using Latin as a spoken language. It is entirely different from other available instructional materials in method and approach to the language; you learn from the very beginning to think in Latin and to avoid the usual method of “deciphering and decoding” by grammatical analysis and by constructing “translations.” Moreover, this course is based on the obvious assumption that language is an acoustic phenomenon and has to enter into our mind through the ears and not through the eyes, and that our memory has to keep the sound of the words and not the image of a printed text; therefore the compact discs which go with the Cursus are an essential part of this method.
I have it on tape... should have waited the 10 or 12 years for the CD. hah.
