It provides a vocabulary referring to daily life themes such as people, gods, mythology, numbers, clothing, food, animals, colors, location, parts of the body and many more.

It covers almost all of Latin grammar: spelling, gender, number and cases, conjugations and declensions, regular and irregular verb tenses, use of the tenses in an affirmative, interrogative or negative construction, thorough explanations about all parts of speech.

It gives a solid background about Latin phonetics, teaches sound discrimination and presents the characteristics of Latin pronunciation and prosody.

Rapid Language Acquisition Techniques are used to speed up the learning process. Teaching material is presented in many different ways (picture, sound, text and handwriting) in order to create multiple stimuli for enhanced memory recall.

The comprehension of the material taught throughout the course is tested with a set of about 6,600 exercises that are fun to do.

I am enjoying the course very much and having no trouble at all getting the motivation to sit down for my nightly session with the computer. The Latin Stories section looks fantastic, and I can't wait until I have learned enough to be able to translate them myself.

I think your program is excellent. For the past year, I’ve been trying to teach myself Latin from the Cambridge Latin Course Series of textbooks. I’ve made some progress. But without “hearing” the material I’m reading, I’m not getting what I want. I had previously bought another CD-based course on Latin ...but found it skimpy and only marginally helpful.
 
Based on what I’ve observed to date, I think your course will help me towards my initial objective – to tackle the Aeneid in Latin (with a dictionary close by I’m sure).
