Semester 1 | Credits: 5

This is a course of language study centred on grammar consolidation, designed to enable a student with around one year’s prior study of Latin to progress towards confident independent reading and understanding of the language. We will begin at the point where the beginners’ module ended last year and continue to consolidate grammar, syntax and the broader study of the language including its Indo-European background.
(Language of instruction: English)

Learning Outcomes
  1. Understand the essential morphology of the Latin language.
  2. Understand the syntactical patterns most commonly found in Latin prose writing.
