In the case of "Latin Now", Latin is one of several language courses in the "Language Now" series. Each course is constructed with the same pedagogy and content structure. In the case of modern languages (ie French, German, Polish etc.) the publisher does employ native speakers for voice recordings within the software. Obviously,in the case of Latin, the course description is boiler plate (Unless, however, they hired an individual who was possibly raised in a recess of the Vatican or some monastery wherein for the first 12 years of his/her life they were taught and spoke only Latin, and while they may now converse in one or more modern languages, they can honestly be described as a Native Latin speaker) In the position of marketing language courses, we certainly are sensitive to providing the public with accurate information regarding the language products we promote. In the instance of the Latin Now course by Transparent, I assure you that the claim of using a native Latin speaker is the honest result of boiler plate marketing verbiage as opposed to a dishonest, or even ignorant,claim.
