  • I agree. You find it with those who have our german based tongue, and who are not familiarized with latin pronunciation. It just laziness, or, believe it or not, a type of embarrassment. When people learn a new language, I think they can have the tendency to feel a little embarrassed to be so bold as to pronounce the foreign language properly. They know 'how' to do it, but I think they feel resistance to actually pronounce correctly, and I think that's why.

    Whenever I serve, I would always have people tell me after mass they appreciated my pronunciation of latin. I tell them I attribute it to my being fluent in Spanish. It doesn't make my latin perfect, but it roles off the tongue and sounds a lot better.

  • I had an Italian speaking professor and classmate in college.

    And my classmate thought the accent of the professor was very thick, because of the way he said two with the Italian vowel.

    If these chapels want people to speak ecclesiastical Latin better, they should give instruction in it.
