How do you pronounce classical vs ecclesiastical in Latin?

The most immediately noticeable difference is the pronunciation. Typically, ecclesiastical Latin is pronounced with Italian pronunciation rules. Therefore, words like “ecce!” are pronounced “Eh-che!” (ecclesiastical) rather than “Eck-kay” (classical).

Should I learn classical or ecclesiastical Latin?

Ecclesiastical pronunciation is a more beautiful, more euphonious pronunciation. It is also easier to learn and is closer to English. Because it is closer to English it makes learning English words which are derivatives of Latin (important for the SAT and reading and writing in general) easier.
