This video was taken at the 68th NCJCL State Convention. This was my first attempt to introduce spoken Latin to the event. I wanted it to be spontaneous Latin, so I did not prepare my talk before hand.
It serves as an example of how we can use Latin to communicate information to our students without recourse to the students' native tongue. As happens in everyday speech, small inaccuracies will occur, and I have corrected them in the video, but this should not prevent us from conversing with our students for the benefit of speaking Latin with our students far outweighs the minimal negative impact a slip of the tongue might have.
