LATIN

Never learned it, never heard it at any Mass growing up or in school, never took it in high school although I could have. Now, at 32, I want to learn at least as much as I need to learn to understand Mass or parts of Mass said in Latin. Anyone know of any good resources for this? I already have Let’s Learn Latin, by the great Ralph McInerny. I love him, but this book and tape should be renamed Let’s Hear Professor McInerny Rip Through Latin Prayers and Sayings Faster Than Any Human Could Possibly Hear How To Pronounce The Words. Ok, maybe that would be a stupid title. I want a starter, basic level tape and/or book that would explain pronunciation of basic parts of the mass and basic prayers/hymns.
