Latin I

This introduction to Latin clarifies the traditionally difficult aspects of the language through vocabulary that follows all standard Latin rules but allows students to tell modern stories connected to a contemporary adventure. Students study familiar vocabulary so they can bring into focus the special characteristics of Latin, notably noun cases and declensions. They receive ongoing practice in vocabulary and grammar, which leads to study of post-Classical Latin, both ecclesiastical and secular, as embodied in the Vulgate Bible and medieval Latin texts. Students use an additional handbook that reinforces grammar by aligning Latin grammatical topics with their English counterparts.
