Entering the intermediate sequence means entering the precints of holy Rome. In this course, we’ll be reading real Latin from Romans who lived in the times of the Roman Republic and Roman Empire, including Livy, Pliny, and Nepos. You’ll learn about the origins and history of Roman civilization, but do so while learning to read and discuss authentic Latin texts in Latin. But that is not all. You won’t just be reading – you’ll also be writing! Students will get to practice composing prose in Latin. The composition exercises in this class will be paired with a systematic review of Latin grammar, particularly verb tenses in the indicative and subjunctive moods. After a quick review of each form, students will do writing exercises, inventing Latin sentences to practice the correct use of these verb tenses and moods.
