It is equally interesting to know that you are so eager to see that it can be used as a spoken language. I have been studying Latin after a gap of 35 to 36 years. But nojw I was keen on learning it as a language to speak. And I also wondered when will I learn to speak it. I am now 69 years old but I know that i will be able to speak it if I can get some one to talk to. But that is a rare possibility in India. Keep up the good work that you have started. It is a beautiful Language and it should be kept alive. Viva Latina. Salve Latina. Aeterna Latina!!! Dear Dean,

The phrase is: "In caecus terrae, luscus rex est." It fits me perfect, because I am blind in one eye and I want to be able to speak the phrase correctly. Thanks!

Most nights, this has a few conversations going, and sometimes gets so busy, it needs to split into sub-rooms. The Schola site now has 1300 members, and is totally in Latin. Many users only have 2 - 3 years of Latin, but because they approached the language actively as a spoken idiom from the beginning of their studies, are progressing rapidly.

I know it sounds intimidating, but I agree with Irina that the staff takes the fear out of the entire workshop with expert dedication! If people are even more curious, I made a YouTube video talking about the Rusticatio.

They go out of their way to take away the very natural fear of using the spoken language - and they are true experts at it. james: I can say as a participant that it would be intimidating if not for the immense dedication and love of teaching which are characteristic of all the instructors.

One's ability to absorb Latin and understand conversations (let alone participate in them) increased daily. On the last night, after I had fallen asleep, I had begun to cough. I had not fully woken up, but at one point I heard one of my roommates say in Latin to another roommate that I was coughing and should they roll me over. So I rolled over. Comprehension with no effort. Internalizing the language. It was an amazing, exhilarating experience, one that I will repeat again.
