Please remember to check "Links" on my main page for information relevant to all classes, such as the list of Latin prayers (with links to videos to help with pronunciation).

Latin I emphasizes basic sentence structure, Latin vocabulary acquisition, and English derivatives, as well as those Latin phrases and quotations commonly used in English. Students also learn the geography of the Roman Empire, an overview of Roman history, and an introduction to Roman and Greek mythology. This course gives a student the ability to write more effective sentences in English and provides an essential foundation for the study of a modern language.
