1 hour per week. If you have a copy of the Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata textbook, I highly encourage you to read the corresponding textbook chapter before our Exercitia class each week! That way, you will have the content and story fresh in your mind to tackle those workbook exercises!Class Experience
Each week in class, we will complete workbook exercises together from the Lingua Latina - Exercitia Latina workbook. These exercises, like the textbook they follow, are entirely in Latin. Students learn to read, think, and produce sentences in Latin as they progress through these exercises. Like all Ongoing classes here on Outschool, we don't move through the content sequentially (see the schedule below). Therefore, this class is NOT meant to be for complete beginners of Latin. This course works best as an accompaniment to a Lingua Latina reading course, or other Latin language/grammar course. If you have a copy of the Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata textbook, I highly encourage you to read the corresponding textbook chapter before our Exercitia class each week! That way, you will have the content and story fresh in your mind to tackle those workbook exercises!

Hello! I’m Larissa Laver and I’ve been teaching since 2008. I’ve worked with young children through young adults over the years: I have taught Pre-K through collegiate level courses and literally every grade in between at some point in my career. I mainly have taught Latin language from elementary through advanced levels, and occasionally teach Ancient Greek as well. I also teach Ancient Greek and Roman History courses, Classical Mythology, and the Homeric Epics. I have traveled extensively in Greece and Italy, and what I learned on those adventures often finds its way into my lessons.
I consider myself a lifelong learner and am always digging deeper to discover more about the world we live in, its history, peoples, languages, religions, cuisines, and more! I also love when my students challenge me with their amazing questions and observations. I spend much time reading and researching in the hopes of being a better citizen of the world and educator.
When I'm not engaged in academic pursuits, I spend my time with my amazing husband. Together we love to travel, play tennis, and hang out with our pet chickens! When I'm on my own, I love kickboxing, yoga (sometimes outside with the chickens!), and gardening (also with the chickens).Reviews
