Latin I

World Languages

This first-year course introduces the basic elements of the Latin language. Vocabulary skills are stressed both through simple spoken Latin and through emphasis on English words derived from Latin. Cultural and historical background topics and an examination of the Greco-Roman foundations of our modern civilization form an integral part of the course. Students read substantial passages in Latin (based on a Roman family), utilizing nouns and adjectives of the first three noun declensions and verbs of all four conjugations in all six tenses.
