Course Overview
Latin is the foundation for French, Spanish and Italian as well as the basis for much of the sophisticated vocabulary of modern English. Law, Medicine and Science still rely heavily on Latin terminology. Latin may be a "dead" language, but not for students in this course. Games, modern content, multi-media exercises and engaging stories together make this Latin experience vibrant and alive. Although students receive a strong foundation in skills to decode the classics, the course also emphasizes the ability to speak and understand in Latin. Students will be able to read and understand excerpts of authentic classical works by the end of the course.
