Beginner Latin I (L101): Summer Term

Whether you are interested in Classical or Ecclesiastical Latin writers, the first steps are the same. In this course you will be introduced to the core of Latin grammar and vocabulary – we will also read over one hundred pages of Latin along the way! If you want to learn how to read Latin as a language, as opposed to a clunky form of English in need of decoding, this course is for you! The cost of our interactive, digital workbook is included in the price of tuition. After completing Latin 101, students will move on to Beginner Latin II (Latin 102), which will prepare them for our Intermediate sequence.

A couple years ago, I struggled to read simple sentences in Latin. Since then, I have learned to work through historic Latin texts, kick back with a Latin novel, and even make some fellow students laugh with a lame joke told in Latin. All along, Jonathan has been a patient and cheerful Latin coach, with a deep knowledge of the language, expertise in pedagogy, and an intuitive grasp of what we students need.
