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.
Take this course and polish your foreign language skills during summer when you have more time. Take it for enrichment or for course credit. You get half credit for a semester course (4 weeks) and
full credit for full year course (8 weeks).
