Course Overview
Students with a beginning foundation in Latin will see their skills soar through compelling lessons that give them access to content so interesting that they forget that they are learning Latin. 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.
