We are all Ph.Ds, dear boy - Nancy in Classics and myself in Roman History. Do try to be more positive though. Nancy is an excellent teacher and latinist. She has no speech impediment. You give no consideration to the nervousness that comes even over experienced teachers when being filmed. I actually prefer the hard consonants of Ciceronian Latin myself, but do not believe that we really know how it sounded in antiquity, making this rather a pointless argument. L.S. Chappell Ph.D.
The use of "church" Latin is in fact just using the pronunciation of modern Italian. I question whether there ever was a "church" Latin per se. I think it's just the pronunciation of late Latin.
I knew Nancy in Grad school and would rate her Latin against anyone's. Try doing something positive yourself rather than carping. What are your qualifications?

So she makes no effort to pronounce any letter correctly, except the r, and that comes out like she has a speech impediment.
Constantly making that unclean sign of death must have harmed her brain. Those 'c's are strictly church Latin. Cicero would be laughing pretty hard.

@attlee45 Just a PhD in Classics and lots of classroom experience. But clearly I don't anything. I don't have my own youtube channel.
