Latin Audio Poll
Some of the members here and I have been working on a audio suppliment to the Latin texts available here. We hope to have the project ready in the next month or so. We are at the point now where we are beginning to finalize the work.
This poll is meant to get a feel for how members would use such a suppliment.
This poll will run for 30 days.

I think the pronounciation sounds a bit german sometimes. And a few parts are not clear enough surely one could have not breathed so much like that! Nevertheless it's a great resource and something that could be used for example with Viva Voce for listening purposes only. To speak it you have to speak often with other people. To whom do you speak in latin?

Thank you for taking the time to put together the audio files, especially to books found here on TextKit. I think many will find it useful and entertaining! I, for one, enjoy listening to others read aloud as I follow the text. We have a small group here that meets once a week to take turns reading and sometimes acting out the parts. It is quite fun!

I haven't recorded any Latin, but I've used recordings of myself reading Greek (Homer) in order to memorize portions on a daily basis. I have about a half-hour walk to and from school (which I really enjoy having) and with an MP3 player I can do about 10 lines on a good day. I've always figured that I would move on to other things: some of Cicero's speeches, some Latin elegy, etc, but Homer is a never-ending project.
The one caveat for this method is that it's useful to split recordings into short and logical segments, so that someone can replay one section over easily. I find that about 10 hexameters is a manageable unit. I wouldn't know for prose.
But if someone else were doing something like this and posted their recording, I would certainly take advantage.
Thanks!
