Latin Pronunciation used in Classical Conversations

There are several different forms of Latin pronunciation. Classical Conversations accepts any form, and uses the Classical pronunciation for the Foundations Memory work. However, the Challenge programs generally use the Roman pronunciation which aligns well with the Classical pronunciation.

The pronunciation you choose is a matter of personal choice. For example, you may desire the ecclesiastical pronunciation if you plan to spend time reading the teachings of early church leaders (e.g., Augustine and Tertullian) or studying music. However, you would probably want to use the classical pronunciation if you plan to spend more time reading the original works of classical Roman authors (e.g., Cicero and Pliny). Knowing both pronunciations will be beneficial to those students wishing to pursue more advanced Latin studies.
