Latin RIP

on BBC Radio 4 FM

In the first of two programmes examining the history of the Latin language and the implications of its near demise, Edward Stourton asks how good at Latin the Romans really were, how Latin has been repeatedly reinvented, whether teachers were ultimately responsible for its decline and whether it can be rescued by innovations in teaching methods.
