The Latinum podcast now has over 50 lessons online, each lesson is
composed
of several episodes comprising:
a. grammar
b. English-Latin conversational dialogue (question and answer)
c. Repetition of the same short dialogues in Latin only, first with
pauses, then again more quickly.
There are already thousands of regular users of the lessons, located all
over the world. The clickable map on Latinum's home page gives an insight
into where in the world people are studying and listening to Latin.
If you cannot attend an actual Latin class, (and even if you can) then
Latinum's lessons, and extensive vocabulary learning resources, classical
text readings, etc, will be an invaluable resource.
Many established Latin programmes, including schools and universities, are
also now directing their students to it.
With over 1,300,000 lessons downloaded to date, this is the largest single
Latin programme available.

Also, if you want to build up your vocabulary and you are a visual
learner,
then there is an ever growing resource of visual learning aids on Schola.

You need to sign in, and visit the photographiae section.
Here you will find over 2 800 photographs of objects, with the latin word
for the object written on it.
Some also have basic phrases, introducing related verbs. Everyday objects
are included as well, such as furniture, crockery and cutlery, trans****t,
boats, etc.
There are also images related to learning greetings and salutations.
This resource is constantly expanding, and anyone serious about learning
Latin will find it useful
All of the above resources are free of charge, and the result of many
hundreds of hours of labour...
