This course describes the essential basics of Latin grammar. By the end of these five days, you will be able to identify grammar structures with the help of a grammar book, navigate a Latin text using a dictionary and gain confidence for consolidation of this outline of the language and further learning.

As this is an intensive course, you are expected to cover a part of the material on your own and practice what we have learnt in class. Every learning session will consist of grammar material, a short reading and translation exercises, accompanied by some tasks to complete in your own time.

If you have any questions, please contact the course tutor (email: Daria.Akhapkina@warwick.ac.uk)

If you are unsure if this course would be suitable for you, please check this page to figure your Latin level.

The next course in this series will run 10th-14th June 2024.

New course dates will be advertised here later in the year. All classes are taught virtually on Teams.

To apply (when dates are confirmed), please fill in a short form.

Feedback from former student:

"This is the third Latin class I've taken, and the first one that broke the language down in a way that makes sense to me. I am very grateful!"
