Introductory Intensive Latin

Course Description

Course Description: A traditional intensive Latin course, surveying all of introductory Latin grammar in ten weeks. Those who complete this course satisfactorily should be prepared to take intermediate level courses in the language at the college level. The course will use Latin Via Ovid (2nd edition) by Goldman and Nyenhuis for this purpose, working through all forty chapters of the book, focusing on the grammatical sections, with attention to the readings in order to see how the grammar functions in narrative examples. We will read the narrative sections in their entirety during the first half of the course; thereafter, as the readings become lengthier, we will concentrate on passages that demonstrate the grammar most recently learned. By the end of the course, we will be reading actual passages from Ovid’s Metamorphoses in their full complexity, thereby beginning the journey of appreciating the classical authors in their own words. DETAILS Level: Beginner. This course is intended for beginners. Textbook: Latin via Ovid, by Goldman and Nyenhuis (2e, Wayne State University Press, 1982). Sections capped at: 5 students.
