Beginning Latin


Academic Term 2014-2015

and

Summer Term
17-28 August 2015

at the

BENEDICTINE STUDIES & ARTS CENTRE
EALING, LONDON

No knowledge of the language is presumed.  This beginning Latin course introduces the student to authentic Latin literature with a clear presentation of how human thought is expressed in Latin.

Encounter the living Latin language. Learn  to pronounce and read Latin from original texts, both ancient and modern. Learn to compose your own sentences. Instructions given in English.

No vocabulary cards! No paradigms to memorize! Just the living language to understand, write and speak.

Working patiently, using simple texts for a clear understanding of what the author originally said. No rushing to impress others, just clear concise understanding.

We use the teaching method of Reginald Foster OCD directly from the draft copy of his book in preparation.

Classes are held both weekly during the academic term and daily during the summer term (more information here) (enrol here).
