Are there any CD s that teach Church Latin so to follow the Latin especially for children. Thanks
 
I don’t know… but I do recommend Wheelocks Latin… It’s advanced elementary Latin. 🙂

It is Classical Latin, but the only real difference between Classical and Ecclesiastical is the pronunciations, such as the V and C. In Classical, the V is pronounced as a W, and the C is soft. In Church, the V is pronounced as a V, and the C is hard, except in cases where it’s soft. 😛
 
I’m not sure of CDs but there are Children’s missals that will include the info you need, such as the Marian Children’s Missal. Try YouTube as well; there may be videos demonstrating parts of the mass with responses that will be useful.
 
This is both oversimplified and downright mistaken in part.

In Classical Latin, C is always HARD (pronounced as K).
In Church, the V is pronounced as a V, and the C is hard, except in cases where it’s soft. 😛
Other differences are: (i) vocabulary, (ii) Church Latin’s freer word order (more English-like), and (iii) Church Latin’s greater reliance on prepositions.

Churchmilitant.tv has a video course on latin, if you’re willing to pay the $10 per month. But then you get all of their content which is pretty terrific.
