This class is ideal for learners who love language and who have at least some understanding of Latin coming into the class. Learners of various levels of Latin are welcome to attend, but should have some idea of what Latin is or how it works. Learners who are more advanced in their Latin are welcome to share their knowledge with the group as we move through our weekly topic. For example, some students might not know exactly what a declension is yet, but others could answer that question in their own words before I dive into my lesson. 

This is NOT a reading/translation class, but rather a class that focuses on one topic of Latin grammar each week. We will use sentences and phrases to illustrate the grammatical points, but won't be reading paragraphs or translating large sections of text. We will also discuss miscellaneous Latin vocabulary words (not correlating to any particular curriculum) and English derivatives from those Latin roots. 

Each week we will work on a particular grammatical concept (noun, verb, etc.) and discuss how that grammar fits into the overall language of Latin. Some weeks we may only do half of a chart and focus on singular versus plural, for example. We will play games, say chants, and occasionally even sing songs to help learn and retain Latin.
