I forgot that the sections from Ælfric's grammar are in Old English with an accompanying Modern English translation. It is the Latin that remains in the ME translation (with a translation in quotations following). (Ælfric, of course, writing his grammar in OE to teach OE speakers Latin.)

I edited the audio to remove the exercises and silence, so each file is just a continuous reading of the lesson's text.

Here's a link to my versions, to save anyone else the time if they'd like the same...
