Overview of class

Latin 101-1 is the first quarter of the year-long Elementary Latin sequence designed to introduce students to the fundamentals of classical Latin. In this course, students will acquire knowledge of basic Latin grammar, syntax, and vocabulary and develop an ability to read, understand, and translate simple texts in both adapted and unadapted Latin. In addition to the exercises and readings included in the textbooks, students will see and read Latin as it appeared on ancient monuments, walls, coins, and everyday objects. By uniting the study of language and culture, this course provides unique insight into the daily life of the people who spoke Latin in the Roman world.
