- Course Catalog Description:
- Latin is the genesis of modern Romance languages and is foundational to science, law, religion, education, and philosophy. The study of Latin sharpens the mind and fuels the development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills. The Latin introductory sequence (1001/1002) will prepare you to read authentic, historical texts and will ground you in solid grammar and vocabulary. Developing your acumen in this essential ancient language will open the door to a wide range of classical, medieval, and Renaissance authors, playwrights, and poets.
- Class Notes:
- If you have taken Latin before, but not at the University of Minnesota, please contact Charles McNamara (mcnamarc@umn.edu) to find out if this is the right course for you.
- 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.
