Latin I, Third Quarter

Latin I, Third Quarter

This is the third course that covers the very first step of learning the Latin language.  It explains fourth conjugation verbs and explores the concept of nouns and adjectives in -er/-ir. The course also explains the basic concept of the perfect system.  It explores the last three tenses of the indicative active, namely the perfect, the pluperfect and the future perfect.  It also covers basic sentence structure, syntax, grammar and conjugation in the passive voice.

The course requires the students to have access to Henle Latin First Year (paperback or digital) as well as the reference grammar book (paperback or digital).  The acquisition of "Looking at Latin" can be helpful but not necessary.

This third quarter should take about twelve (8) weeks to complete.  The work includes the study of the lectures (videos), the memorization work (vocabulary, declension, conjugation and grammar rules) and the written work (exercises).

Once this course is completed, the logical step is to sign up for Latin I, Fourt Quarter.  Be aware that Henle, Latin First Year is covered in Latin I and Latin II.  Latin II is already available and Latin III as well.

This course if taken seriously will give you a very solid foundation in the language of Caesar and Cicero.  And it might actually fulfill some homeschooling requirement for High School foreign language credits.

Bonam Fortunam! (Good Luck!)
