Course Objectives: Latin is an ancient language that is the syntactical and semantic root of all Romance languages today, as well as the etymological source for the vast majority of scientific and cultural lingua franca that we use. This course is designed for students from all academic backgrounds and is meant to introduce students with no previous experience with Latin to the Latin language. The objectives for this class are to understand how Latin works and to begin reading Latin texts. We will strive to begin both projects simultaneously. Latin is meaningful both for the quality and delight that Latin literature provides, and for the excitement of “solving” the puzzle of how words relate to each other grammatically.
