I must mention that listening exercises are super easy in Latin. Even when enthusiasts complain about wrong long and short vowels and inaccurate v or w. The pronunciation just makes sense, unlike many (almost? all? definitely excluding Hungarian) European languages that shifted the consonants and vowels in the past centuries so much that there are either bad or just horrible situations in the writing.
