If you don’t believe in a Zeitgeist you haven’t quite made it. Like my professor once said, at the end of the semester when he invited his quiet dozen to his home. We surrounded him in his library, and as he swished wine he squinted. “You know… I met Wheelock once. Summer of 78. There’s one for you. Strange guy, he is! He’s not like Ørberg, or those two fellows who wrote the Athenaze, no—grammarians are a different breed. Don’t get me wrong: praise grammar! But there’s a difference between a grammarian and say, although I don’t want to, a philologist. But to the point! Wheelock, he…smelled. He… wouldn’t stay quiet, and not in a good way. He had a thing for women with dogs, and he was always seen turning suddenly and sniffing. NOW, so I avoid being slanderous, I will say: what an amazing man Wheelock was! He was brilliant! Beautiful! Genius! I remember once he came to me and threw his arm around my shoulder like this, yeah, come here, and he said in my ear, ‘Listen buddy. In 2021 a book will be published called Taking Away From Tonight and not only will it indirectly better someone’s Latin, it will be a good time to. You watch!’ And I did. And it happened. And, kids, I didn’t want to tell you this, but my head is not on straight.”

How do I know how to pronounce Latin properly?
Like the words I’m reading and hearing in my head. Are they really how they sounded?
