About us
We live and breathe Latin
We are the Circulus Latinus Berolinensis, a group of people who meet regularly in Berlin, Germany, to cultivate the use of spoken Latin. Our group unites people from all walks of life. Some of us have studied Latin, others are learning the language just for fun.
Our goal is to help as many people as possible to speak Latin. Why? Because only who speaks the language can truly appreciate classical Latin texts without having to rely on a dictionary and grammar. We are proponents of Hans Ørberg's natural method of learning Latin.
We are friends of the Accademia Vivarium novum, to which we owe our in-depth knowledge of Latin.
We cordially invite you to join our online courses and seminars.
