1 live meeting
1 hrs 15 mins in-class hoursHomework
2-4 hours per week. Homework is for YOUR benefit. Study the vocabulary. Make your noun/adjective/verb charts. Practice translations. I provide all the materials you need to work in your dedicated Latin notebook. For every hour of Latin class, you should be studying for - at the very least - two hours.Assessment
Informal assessment sent after class.Class Experience
Previous knowledge required: A working knowledge of English parts of speech and how it relates to Latin cases; 1st/2nd/3rd noun/adjective declensions and cases; 1st/2nd /3rd and Esse/Posse verb conjugations in the past, future, and imperfect tenses; rudimentary vocabulary including common conjunctions and prepositions; demonstrative pronouns (hic/ille/iste). If this is your first class with me, I will send you a vocabulary list prior to class starting so you can refer to it as we work. This class will focus on personal pronouns - ego, tu, is. We will also review the demonstrative pronouns and personal adjectives and use them all together in practice translations. This is quite an important class, because the patterns in the endings of adjectives and pronouns start making sense and coming together for students. There will be some new vocabulary, but mostly, we will stress on the correct usage of the pronouns and adjectives. This is a very interactive class. We do repetition, drills, and sight reading. We discuss Roman culture, linguistics, and how Latin still affects many modern languages. Education is a conversation, and your voice is valued. Please feel free to share ideas, comments, and ask questions! No 3rd party accounts are necessary. We do use the free online resource (Latin Wiktionary) as our dictionary and case-checker!
Learning Goals
Students will begin correlating the patterns for adjective and pronouns endings. This is important and will help them exceedingly in the Latin syntax in the future.
Other Details
Supply List
Students need a dedicated Latin notebook for making and studying their vocabulary and noun, adjective, and verb charts. This tool is key to learning and remembering word endings and the meanings of the root words. After class, I will send via Outschool message a copy of the slide show as well as a vocabulary list and translation practice. I can send it in either Office format (docx or pptx), Apple format (keynote/pages), or as Google links (docs/slides). Let me know your preference.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

I draw from Wheelock 7th edition text, Cambridge Book 1, Minimus Book 1, Latin for Beginners, and my own studies. We use Latin Wiktionary as a free online source (dictionary).
