1-2 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 least two hours.Assessment
Informal assessment sent to the family of the learner after the class.Class Experience
Previous knowledge required: A working knowledge of English grammar; 1st/2nd noun/adjective declensions and cases; 1st/2nd and Esse/Posse verb conjugations in the past, future, and imperfect tenses; rudimentary vocabulary including common conjunctions. 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. In this class, we will learn about the 3rd declension nouns and practice using them, along with new vocabulary. We will translate a few sentences grammatically, and then do some intuitive sight reading about Caecilius' friend and client joining him for dinner in the triclinium. 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 be introduced to the 3rd declension nouns, new vocabulary, and practice grammatical and intuitive translations.
