How many people here are interested in actually speaking Latin? I should also ask who of you do speak Latin on a regular basis or with a club?
I am a Project Manager with Microsoft (and also a classics enthusiast) and have been contacted by a group of Latinists from the University of California to help develop a comprehensive spoken Latin program. Our initial discussions have been exceedingly informative and exciting, but I wanted to determine from a large forum such as this whether there is interest, and any thoughts you might have on a program for spoken Latin.
The concept as it stands now consists of audio and written exercises which would allow any student to learn to read, write and speak Latin, with the emphasis being on developing Latin at as a contemporary, spoken language.
Your input is greatly appreciated!
