Whether we're aware of it or not, Latin is all around us. Consider the sayings in everyday use: alter ego, ad nauseam, caveat emptor, modus operandi, per se, and, of course, the ever-popular e pluribus unum. Even more abundant are words derived from Latin roots: arena (from harena, meaning "sand"), auditorium ("a place of audience"), stadium (a running track)...and those are just the theatrical ones! It's inescapable.

While it’s easy to get caught up - and, rightfully so - in the art of the Renaissance, you cannot have a full, rounded understanding of just how important these centuries were without digging beneath the surface, without investigating the period in terms of its politics, its spirituality, its philosophies, its economics, and its societies. Do just that with these 48 lectures that consider the European Renaissance from all sides, that disturb traditional understandings, that tip sacred cows, and that enlarges our understanding of how the Renaissance revolutionized the Western world.

These 12 half-hour lectures are about what Einstein got wrong. He may have kindled a scientific revolution with his famous theory of relativity and his proof that atoms and light quanta exist, but he balked at accepting the most startling implications of these theories - such as the existence of black holes, the big bang, gravity waves, and mind-bendingly strange phenomena in the quantum realm. This course by research physicist Dan Hooper of the University of Chicago assumes no background in science and uses very little math.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 20
Roughly 2,500 years ago, the Athenian people established a radical democracy in which power derived from the votes of everyday citizens. At a time when local governments ranged from oligarchy to tyranny, the elite classes of Athens gradually ceded power to the inexperienced masses, whose votes served as referendums for everything from taxation to war to welfare. The sequence of events that led to this development is astonishing, and the society that flourished under Athenian democracy is one of the greatest - even if greatly flawed - achievements in world history.

A mistake to buy this
I’m trying to learn Latin and so bought this thinking it would be some audio pronunciation guides and then maybe some reading of texts.
How wrong I was! It’s an attempt to do a Latin version of the modern language audio books. I find those difficult and seen as I am neither Catholic nor have I invented a time machine I am very unlikely to have need of conversational Latin.
Maybe it becomes more useful later but it’s not read in the most exciting way (i.e. with almost no inflection and sounding like someone’s hobby project) so I definitely won’t be sticking it. and regret downloading it.

not good at all
Not brilliant IMHO. The guy has a grating voice and his Classical (not ecclesiastical which is different) pronunciation is a bit off .... I already have a certain amount of Latin. I was using this to augment my knowledge and pronunciation. My linguistics proffessor would be horrified. Admittedly I only listened to 5mins but his pronunciation of puella was enough.... sorry.

Not just a "survival phrases course" Real Latin
Would you listen to Audio Latin 1-10 again? Why?
Many times
What was one of the most memorable moments of Audio Latin 1-10?
NA
What does Kenneth B. Wolfe bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Hear spoken Latin
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
NA
Any additional comments?
This is not just a "survival phrases course". This is a course teaching you Latin through conversational type sentences. Singular and plural nouns, pronouns, adjectives, various cases and verbs (present, imperative and infinitive) . This would be a great addition to any Latin course. Classical Pronunciation. It uses Latin word order not English.It has very limited vocabulary, but this is what you want for this type of course. Most lessons would take 3 or four days to master. You can listen to the Audible.com version and read the Kindle written version. Kenneth please write more lessons.
