Class Description

This course introduces the foundations of Latin vocabulary, grammar, and syntax to the beginning student of the Latin language. We will work our way through Wheelock’s Latin, covering around two-thirds of the textbook and bringing the student around halfway to intermediate competency (when the student becomes able to read unabridged Latin texts with assistance).
