The single best thing you can do to improve your spoken Latin is read a lot of Latin: more info here and here. Click here for more to read or here for audio input. I have a whole page on improving your own Latin here. But here are some reference works to help you out, too.
- The Morgan-Owens Lexicon: expressions for various modern (or more modern than Cicero anyway) things, excellently sourced.
- SALVI’s resource page
- Hints/Suggestions for Beginning to Speak Latin by John Kuhner
- paulātim: Baby Steps toward the Inclusion of Spoken Latin in the Classroom from Dawn Mitchell and Justin Slocum Bailey.
- Locutiones: I started a crowd-sourced list of things that are useful when speaking Latin. Eventually maybe I'll make this a proper page on the site. It's full of great stuff but can be a little overwhelming.
- Vocabula Picta by Anna Andresian: words for all your daily modern life needs. Check against Morgan, though. The eBook is only $5 and it’s all in Latin with pictures! n.b. This is a paid resource. Please don't share the eBook around. It's cheap and Anna put a lot of work into it, and she already does so much for us by providing magistrula.com for free.
- First Thousand Words in Latin by Heather Amery (2014 edition only!): The 2014 edition was heavily amended by Patrick Owens of Morgan-Owens Lexicon fame. Do not get the earlier edition!
- Vita Nostra by Stephan Berard (contact by email for a copy)
- Guide to Latin Conversation by Stephen Wilby (1892) (PDF)
- Latin Phrase-Book by Carl Meissner, trans. Henry William Auden (more various formats here including those with functional chapter links)
- Colloquia Familiaria by Erasmus (1664) (selections therefrom by Jennifer Nelson- MUCH easier to deal with)
- Conversational Latin for Oral Proficiency by John Traupman (n.b. this gets bad reviews from serious Latinists) (but it also has an audio option so that’s nice)
