Course description

These weekly meetings will allow you to consolidate the knowledge of Latin acquired during the beginner’s course. By engaging directly with Latin texts, you will build on what you have learnt in the previous classes and expand your overall proficiency of the subject. Lessons will focus on the reading and translation of both classical and Renaissance authors (Cicero, Sallust, Suetonius, Petrarch, Leonardo Bruni, Thomas More and Desiderius Erasmus). Each teaching session combines translation practice with a detailed grammatical analysis of the text. To reinforce your learning, you will be assigned some tasks to complete during your own time. By the end of the course, you will be able to navigate a Latin text, translating it with occasional reliance on a dictionary and identifying its key grammatical features.
