Our family hears Latin and sings Latin and prays Latin and reads Latin every week. One friend of ours actually taught it it to his toddlers.

Linguistics is my hobby—I’ve dabbled a bit in dead languages. And sure, no one speaks Latin as a first language anymore, but it is nowhere even close to dead.

There's an internet radio station out if (IIRC) Scandinavia that streams news in Latin. Can't dig up a pointer just at the moment...
