How do we pronounce Latin at school?

Students from Πειραματικό Λύκειο Αγίων Αναργύρων and from IES de Poio present two short films on Hercules and Cacus.
Listen to story of Cacus narrated by Titus Livius in his word Ab Urbe Condita (I. 7. 4-7), notice the differences in the way students from Greece (1st video) and from Spain (2nd video)pronounce Latin, and try to answer the questions!

Here's the Latin text and here's an English translation of the passage.

Awesome, Alexandra!.

Your idea has just become
a great post.
I remember the time you mentioned it in Budapest.

Recording the video was really funny.
The post is very instructive.

Thank you so much.

Graciñas, Álvaro.

Participei no curso de Chiron en Santiago no ano 2008.

Esa experiencia servíume para entrar neste mundo e para aprender unha morea de cousas. E enganchoume.

Fóstedes todos vos uns profesores magníficos.
