Description

An introduction to Latin grammar and to reading Latin.

Beginners' Latin A introduces the study of the Latin language and leads into CLAS145: Beginners' Latin B in the second semester. Students will learn the fundamental principles and rules of Latin grammar and will develop the ability to read slightly adapted Latin texts from a range of authors.

Students will find that studying Latin improves their knowledge of English grammar, spelling and vocabulary and will better understand the many technical and legal terms, as well as scientific and medical nomenclature, that are derived from Latin. Recent research shows that students who study Latin show dramatic improvement in other areas of academic study, and find it easier to learn other foreign languages.
