I'm thinking pretty seriously about doing this:
http://www.latin.org/english/events/rusticatio.html
SALVI (North American Institute for Living Latin Studies)
presents its sixth annual "Rusticatio Californiana"
a practical, fun, intensive workshop providing a
total-immersion Latin environment for high-energy exercises
in conversation, supplemented with readings from all
centuries of Latin writing grouped around the general theme
of the Latin literature of food and wine.
Dates: August 4-11 , 2005. Arrival Noon Thursday, August 4.
Departure 11 A.M., Thursday, August 11.
The best Latin speakers I know have pretty much all done this program
(or are running it!).
The entry requirements are a lot lighter than you might be thinking.
The organizers call for "a minimum of one year of traditional
college-level Latin. This program is well suited to people who have
never tried speaking Latin before [...]". Surely there are some
seth-trips subscribers who fall into that category.
