This course provides a thorough introduction to the pronunciation, morphology, and syntax of classical Latin to enable you to read Latin prose and poetry with confidence, precision, and pleasure. No prior experience is required. We begin where the action is, with the Latin verb, and work our way systematically through the formation of nouns, adjectives, participles, infinitives, relatives, interrogatives, and more. All grammatical terms are explained, and all Latin is translated, both literally and idiomatically. Every lecture includes opportunities for participation through repetition, translation, and pop quizzes—the answers to which are always supplied so that you may check your work.
