With Adler's book one learns Latin by composing it and speaking it
With Adler's book one learns Latin by composing it and speaking it, making one's knowledge of the language more like the knowledge of modern spoken languages. It is also the basis of Evan Millner's Latinum Podcast. He has recorded the whole book as podcasts suitable for download to an mp3 player. Latin can be learned while driving or exercising. rnrnI've been using the book myself, and find my knowledge of Latin to be deepened considerably, especially in my understanding of the cases. Before, they were understood analytically from studying the grammar. Now, I understand them without having to think about it, just from the practice of listening to spoken Latin. rnrnAdler is also reputedly the model for Melville's Bartleby. rnrn
