My old Latin mentor, Fr. Reginald Foster, was featured in a spot on CBS:
I first met and studied with Foster in the mid-80s and then spent years in his 5th Level thereafter.
Foster has a book about his method. Not easy reading, but complete.

LOL! No doubt we’ve been learning it the wrong way. It indeed should be taught just like living languages are taught using conversation and not rote memorization.
I noted in the interview that Father Reginald believes in the A-Theory of time. That goes a long way in explaining why he threw out all his photographs and newspaper articles.
Father Foster allowed my son to audit a Latin Class when my son lived in Rome in about 2007. He also was kind enough to give my son a “tour’ of the Vatican during my son’s time in Rome, if my memories are accurate.
I will text my son to take a gander over here.

Wouldn’t it be great to have a free online course for clergy (who didn’t get it in seminary like me) to learn latin according to this method! Who wants to teach it???
