There's some intensive spoken Latin course in Rome, I remember reading about it at the time and it sounded totally immersive. It was a follow on from what Fr Foster had run previously (https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/father-reginald-foste...).

On my bucket list whenever I win the Powerball and can stop working full time

I suppose you've alreard heard of it, but Lingua Latina per se Illustrata is also supposed to be very good.

Especially after having had to learn Latin the "old fashioned way", which is basically like learning English via analyzing and translating Shakespeare word by word, musing about the meaning of each words position. All while hardly being able to produce your own sentences

It is very good, that's how I learned Latin. For those wanting to speak it, there are online chat rooms I used to use.
