1-2 hours per week. Before each lesson, try the material for yourself. Before a translation class, try the translation on your own first. Before a grammar class, try the exercises first. We will go over it in class, so please be prepared to share your work. Do not worry about getting it right! We are here to learn, and one of the best ways to learn is through correcting mistakes.Assessment
At the end of the course, you will receive a test for homework. This will let you know if you are ready to move onto the next class or not. If you have scored less than a 70%, private tutoring will be available to help you move on.Class Experience

We've learned Nouns in Nominative and Accusative cases, and verbs in singular, plural, and infinitive so far. Here, we will go beyond that and learn all the noun cases. There are six cases in all, each with a different function in a sentence. We will also learn about the fullness of present tense indicative and imperative verbs. While we have learned third person so far, here we will learn first and second. We we expand our grammar and vocabulary, we will follow the Cornelian family as they depart from their beloved villa and return to Rome.
Learning Goals
Students will learn how to translate a Latin passage through a rigorous study of vocabulary and grammar. Beyond that, we will learn basic conversation in Latin. Here we will begin our journey towards reading the Latin writings of the Romans.
We will become exposed to Roman culture.Syllabus

Other Details
Parental Guidance
Not everything about Roman life was good, especially the practice of slavery. The best approach when dealing with these issues is to be honest about the good, the bad, and the ugly. That way, we can learn to emulate the good and criticize the bad.
Pre-Requisites
You should learn 3rd Person singular and plural verbs, subject and direct object forms for nouns, and the vocabulary for Chapters 1-7 of Ecce Romani.

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

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.Reviews
