Same poem as previous, but this time read by Morgan. Slowed down, with pauses added to assist with memorisation. Note the more natural style of reading of the Morgan recording, where the V.N. reading follows the vowel lengths and resulting ictus assiduously. VN's reading is possibly the more useful one, in terms of learning how to scan Roman Poetry. This is from an old cassette tape, hence the tape hiss.

" Example before the rule" is a great principle of language learning. Viva voce methods save time, rules are grasped more quickly. Systematic use of viva voce Latin leads to rapidly gaining the required intuitive familiarity with Latin sentence construction, and the learning of correct vowel quantity from the beginning. Vocabulary is learned in a more natural way. The intention is to use the resources offered here to get good enough to actually get to think in the language, to live in it. This is the Renaissance Method.
The recorded lessons from Adler's Textbook, " A Practical Grammar of the Latin Language" form the core of the podcast. Adler's book can be downloaded for free from Google Books, who especially re-scanned this important textbook for us.
