Latin Exercises (Semi-Intensive)

Course Description

Course Description: We will meet two nights a week (an hour per session), doing exercises and drills to start thinking in Latin. The aim is to help students with a basic knowledge of Latin grammar to build confidence, preparing them for courses that require reading proficiency or conversation. Exercises will include: translating English sentences into Latin; drills (conjugating verbs and declining nouns, adjectives, and pronouns); and other exercises based on the readings in Latin Via Ovid (2nd edition). We will begin with Chapter 27 of Latin Via Ovid and work through the exercises systematically, at a pace conducive to the internalization of the material, striving for fluent thought and expression. Students are encouraged to enroll if their knowledge of the language corresponds with the grammar in Chapter 27 (where all four tenses of the subjunctive mood are reviewed along with the sequence of tenses, and indirect questions are introduced). Feel free to contact me for more information Level: Intended for students with a basic knowledge of Latin grammar who wish to improve their proficiency and start thinking in Latin, in order to prepare for advanced reading or conversational courses Textbook: Latin via Ovid, by Goldman and Nyenhuis (2e, Wayne State University Press, 1982)
