Introduction to Latin

What it covers

This unit introduces students with little or no previous knowledge to classical Latin. You will steadily acquire a good grammatical overview of Latin, reinforced by the reading of adapted Latin texts, weekly grammar exercises and vocabulary tests. More broadly, you will encounter the Latin language within the context of classical Roman society and culture, and emphasis is given to Latin's grammatical legacy to English and other modern languages. Although there is no formal oral component to this unit, you are encouraged to become familiar with the pronunciation of Classical Latin.
