All paradigms, grammar, and vocabulary are included, and the texts are explained line by line. A 60-minute audio CD is included to aid in pronunciation. Let's Read Latin is for students of all ages, and a boon to home-schoolers too. In his July 7, 2007, apostolic letter, Pope Benedict XVI encouraged the use of the Latin Mass throughout the Church. Here is a text for all age groups that uses church and scriptural references and materials to learn the language. The 60-minute audio CD (or downloadable audio link) included uses ecclesiastical pronunciation rather than the typical classic pronunciation, making this an especially useful guide to the language of the Church.
