Class Experience

This is a class all about the classroom. It is both for beginners to learn the Latin language through speaking, and it can also be helpful for someone who is already learning Latin to creatively think in Latin. The best way to move from learning Latin grammar and exercises to really being able to READ in Latin is to learn to SPEAK it. In this class, we will work on the following target vocabulary: [ Book, Pencil, Pen, Paper, Chair, Table, Open the book, Close the book, Take, get the pen, Put, place the pen, What do you see?] We will also read and discuss Chapter 1, part 2 of Lingua Latina per se illustrata. You will be amazed at how fun Latin can be when learning it through speaking! This class is conducted primarily in Latin using pictures, acting, and song to draw the students into the fun. You must have both a working camera and microphone for this class and be prepared to take your turn speaking out loud.
