(UPDATE): Dear parents: Some of the families creating a new enrollment from the class listing page may see a 4% "Marketplace fee" added to your charge (public funding users are excluded from the marketplace fee). Please rest assured this surcharge is coming from Outschool, not me, and I would be happy to refund the Marketplace fee back to you if it would ensure keeping your learner(s) enrolled in my classes. (Simply contact me if you would like me to refund you the 4% fee.) It appears to be a test implementation, so it might not affect every new enrollment. The fee is added at checkout or during weekly payments for new enrollments, supporting Outschool's ongoing platform costs. Thank you, and I look forward to teaching your child(ren)!

In this highly interactive semester class, learners will learn how to speak using classical pronunciation and write the ancient language of Latin. This course is a fourteen-week class that meets twice per week.  

Through lively discussions, vocabulary lists I will provide, visuals, optional note taking, and imitating my speaking, students will create and translate sentences relevant to their everyday world—many of them funny. Because about 60% of English has Latin in it, the kids will also see how roots from Latin words in class connect with many English words they already know, plus they will increase their English vocabularies. 

The material will include nouns, verbs, adjectives, three noun cases, three noun declensions, and a few high-frequency words. Each day, the learners will have ongoing opportunities to construct increasingly advanced Latin sentences using what they have learned!

I will provide each learner printable material consisting of vocabulary, some in flashcard format for optional independent review. There will be numerous opportunities for optional homework plus informal assessment throughout.

I am looking forward to seeing you!
