Conversational Latin with Fun and Movement

In this introductory course, students will meet weekly to begin to learn Latin through conversations and actions. Aside from the inherent beauty in the language itself, students will learn that there's something in Latin for everybody. Latin makes students better at history, English, and even math!

Students will continually practice their spoken Latin, and as a result they will learn the language more naturally. We will continually repeat old material while we learn new. We will start through basic commands, and then from there learn to describe our actions in the first, second, and third person. We will build each new theme for two weeks while repeating the old themes.

Our activities will involve some instruction with note-taking, and from there transition to conversational practice, as well as games like Latin Simon Says and Pictionary.

After taking Latin in both high school and college, I have been tutoring Latin for the last five years and taught in school for the last two. My experience covers a broad age range from fifth graders to adults. I have also used several different learning methods between deductive grammar, the reading method, and the living language approach. I am personally more drawn to the living language approach, but incorporating the other two under that umbrella have been equally important. One high school client I tutored from the ground up has since gone on to pass the AP Latin exam, and I aim to do the same with your children.
