"Pompous" might be too strong a word but, yes, he used some phrases which might be deemed as "refined" (sorry, if it's not very accurate, I can't think of a better word right now). But clearly, this doesn't make him a nutter, at least in "normal"/educated circles. What's interesting is that he mixes it with more colloquial words ("franchement nul, vraiment chouette") and some clearly ironic sentences, making his message a pleasant one to read. Thanks Itikar for your message about the new version of the old audio tapes. This is great news ! Edited by akkadboy on 01 March 2012 at 11:18am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Thanks akkadboy - these are differences that are (at least for me) often hard to pick up.
Alang - my only experience of spoken Latin is Evan Millner's Latinum, Hans Orberg, the TY Get Started in Latin set and Leo Latinus - all of which are restored classical Latin spoken by people coming from English, Danish or German. The Assimil Le Latin is very similar but perhaps a bit 'sweeter' due to the female accent and the underlying (but not ridiculously strong like the previous Assimil) French accent. Can't wait for the new recording of the old Assimil - looks good! Edited by Elexi on 01 March 2012 at 12:03pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Well, at assimil.com it says that the Italian old version is not available ("Temporairement indisponible...").

A very good source for spoken Latin is, of all things, Rosetta Stone. You get a fair amount of audio in appropriate rendering - c(k)aesar, v(w)ir(r) - and a unique chance to experience it as a living language. I have only used Version 2, but there is also a Version 3 edition.
