Continue your learner's study of the Latin language using the textbook, 'So You Really Want to Learn Latin'. Meeting weekly, leaners will use adjectives like bonus, conjugate verbs like rego and compose stories from English into Latin. Every week, I explain, step-by-step, how to use adjectives like bonus, bona, bonum or verbs like rego, regere, rēxī and rēctum We use a textbook, So You Really Want To Learn Latin: Book 1, to guide our study. In addition to this, at the end of each lesson, I teach learners about the key dates, people and places in Roman history. I also make connections between Latin vocabulary and the English words derived from them. This builds your learners knowledge of the world and supports their learning in history, geography and English lessons (social studies and ELA).
