Beginning Latin I

Catalog description

The Latin language has had a profound influence on our world: Latin terminology is heavily used in law, medicine, and ministry; Latin is the ancestor of the Romance languages, including French, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese; and much of our vocabulary in English is indebted to Latin roots. As the first term of the introductory Latin sequence, this course offers a thorough introduction to the grammar, syntax, and vocabulary of classical Latin. Offered annually in fall. May not take LATN-101 if LATN-191 has already been taken.
