The Latinum project has been successfully providing high quality Latin language materials since 2008.
The method used is 'natural language learning' - and can be used as a supplement to other courses you are taking, or as a stand-alone course. Restored Classical Pronunciation is used throughout.
Latinum also provides a large amount of free supplementary material on YouTube.  CLICK the 'i' next to each item for more detailed information.
In 2008, Evan der Millner created Latinum, which is now the largest and most active dedicated Latin language social network in the world. If you want to use your Latin actively, and contact other people who are learning Latin, in a friendly community, Schola is the place to go.

The Adler Audio Course The first Adler download for lessons 1-9 includes Millner's Serial and Oral Latin Course, section 1-50 Summary:
Latinum teaches Latin. 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. Selected materials are also available on DVD.
Method:
Molendinarius (Evan der Millner) has degigned Latinum as an audio course, based directly on the course of progress followed by students in the Renaissance, at a time when Latin was used regularly by educated people across Europe for reading, writing, and speaking.
The goal of Latinum is to give you the tools to master Latin, 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, and supplementary materials.
You can follow the steps broadly outlined here – but feel free to use the materials in any order. You are encouraged to begin working with Adler and Comenius.
