For students continuing in Hans Orberg's Lingua Latina textbook, this 11-week class will dive deep into chapters 17 through 19.
Class experience
PREREQUISITE: Completion of Introduction to Latin Parts 1, 2, 3, 4 (on Outschool with Magistra Larissa) or equivalent; If you are uncertain whether your learner is prepared to enter Intro to Latin - Part 5 please contact the instructor to discuss. This class is all about LATIN VERBS, and some adverbs, too. Intro Parts 1, 2, and 3 focused heavily on Latin nouns, giving students ample time to acclimate to all five Latin noun declensions and various noun case functions. Part 4 introduced...
I've been working with students of various ages using this same textbook for over a decade. The items outlined in the Parental Guidance section have not previously been an issue, but I wish to make them known in advance to prevent any potential surprises down the road.
Homework Offered
I always encourage students to work on Latin between classes! The specific content of a student's homework is less important to me than the actual quality time spent in Latin: if the student needs work on vocabulary, spend fifteen minutes a day on Quizlet studying; if the student struggles with piecing together Latin grammar into coherent English sentences, review some sentences from class by translating them and emailing them to me for comment! The options are many, and I'm always happy to give suggestions to students who may not be sure what or how to do Latin without a formal assignment between classes. That said, on occasion I do post assignments that I'd like students to complete before the next class. Students who wish to have written feedback can always request it from me via direct message. Students who participate regularly in class will receive immediate feedback and comments from me as we work through the Latin text together each day.1 - 2 hours per week outside of class

Those who have already read Chapters 1-16 of this book know that the character named Marcus is a pesky little puer. He gets into more shenanigans in this next unit, including poking a classmate in the rear end with an ancient Roman pencil. By now we are accustomed to use Marcus as the "what not to do" model for behavior. Marcus also talks back to his teacher. In Chapter 1 (way back when!) we learned that "sex" means "six" in Latin. In this course, we will encounter a unit of Roman currency called an "as" the plural of which is "asses". It's pronounced more like "AHss-ace" but the spelling is unavoidable. Chapter 19 begins with a walk through the courtyard of our Familia Romana's home. The courtyard is adorned with three statues of Roman deities - Juno (Hera in Greek), Venus (Aphrodite) and Cupid (Eros). The text describes them in the context of introducing the adjectives "best" and "worst" (irregular in Latin as in English), because each of these three deities has some connection to spousal infidelity in the mythological world. The text reads (translated) "No one of the gods is a worse husband than Jupiter, and no other goddess is a worse wife than Venus" because they both "love many other gods/goddesses besides their husband/wife" (I paraphrased that last one). Fans of mythology will find this "old news", but it may be a new topic for others. As always, please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions or concerns about these or other Latin-related matters!
