A weekly round up of news in Latin from Radio Finland. The site includes broadcasts, transcripts, archives, listeners’ letters and a chatroom.

oh yes, I love that one! I hardly ever listen to it though since it’s so far over my head… someday I will be able to understand!
I think that site is really cool. 
I love listening to the sound of Latin, even if I don’t understand all of what is said.
Oooooo, very cool idea! I wonder when someone will make an Ancient Greek radio hehe ;D
well, there’s only one country where nearly everyone has learned ancient greek - greece. maybe some teacher or professor there will start up an ancient greek radio station .
Hey, what happened? I can’t get this link to work anymore. Did they discontinue this?
Oh no, not greece… Sorry emma, but their modern pronunciation of ancient Greek is going to sound very unfamiliar and strange to most people who study anceint greek outside of greece. You know those “baba” sheep people who insist on pronouncing beta with a B sound. Why can’t these greeks fess up to their self denial?
Beta isn’t pronounced like B? 
Nope, it’s a V sound in modern greek.
And B sound is written μπ. 
e.g. “beer” is written “μπηρα”
A mu and a pi? I wonder how that came about.
Really, I have to get an English translated copy of their linguistic explanation of ancient greek pronunciation.
m and p are quite similar indeed, in that they are both labial.
m induces the vibration of vocal chord and makes p a vocal, to say, b.
Similarly D sound is written ντ, and hard G is written γκ(γ before κ is sounded ng)
If you are a Tolkien fan, see how the tengwars for Quenya mp(
) and nd(
) are used for b and d, respectively in the Beleriandic mode.
