Class Description:
Latin, the language of the ancient Romans, has served as a means of communication for well over two thousand years. It is not only the chief language of one of the world's major civilizations, but also an international language for centuries after Rome's fall, the ancestor of the Romance languages, and an important influence on English. The aim of Beginning Latin is to prepare you to read unadapted Latin texts by providing a solid grounding in grammar and vocabulary along with oral and written practice. With this foundation you will be able to read a wide range of ancient, medieval, and Renaissance authors. In addition, Latin 1001 will help strengthen your grasp of English grammar and vocabulary. There is no prerequisite for this course.

Learning Objectives:
Students completing Latin 1001 should have a good working knowledge of aspects of the grammar and vocabulary of literary Latin of the 1st centuries BCE and CE, including: the forms of the major classes of nouns and adjectives; the forms and uses of personal, reflexive, relative, and intensive pronouns; all indicative and most participial forms of regular verbs; the major uses of the noun cases;
basic subordinate clauses; a basic vocabulary of about 500 words. With appropriate help with regard to vocabulary, morphology, and syntax, students can read and understand simple, compound, and complex sentences, as well as short narrative passages of "created" Latin prose consisting of such sentences; they can communicate that understanding by translating, answering comprehension questions, and explaining how individual words, phrases, and clauses are functioning in the larger context.
Exam Format:
comprehension questions, translation, basic grammatical analysis
