Those words underlined in the following tables are individual mp3 files that when clicked will play on the audio recorder of your choice, such as Windows Media Player, MusicMatch Jukebox and many other audio applications.

Words and Phrases will have separate files so that you can listen to the correct pronunciation of the words. The stories in Latin will be one file so you will need to follow along with the graphic below the speaker symbol as the paragraph(s) is read. Only the underlined words in red are links to listen to the words, phrases or stories.

Note: While we have endeavored to make these sound files as small as possible, some of them are fairly large and with a dial-up Internet connection will take a few minutes to download. Please be patient.
