The goal is for students to develop a love of learning Latin and Roman culture. Will learn approximately 40 words in Latin, develop a better understanding of grammar and parts of speech, and learn Latin roots of English words.
🤩 I have been teaching Latin for over 10 years to homeschoolers around the world! 🤩 I believe Latin enriches lives and makes learning languages more accessible to learners of all ages. 🤩 I have spent the last year fully developing this course by traveling all over Britain, visiting Roman sites, and filming original footage specifically for this course. 🤩 In May of 2024 I will participate in a special 2 week long archaeological dig at Vindolanda, uncovering the secrets that were left behind by the Ancient Romans and filming more special and amazing footage for this class!

Students will be assigned work from the Minimus workbook as well as some additional worksheets and games1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
