Description

This course, using Levels 3 and 4 of Tim Griffiths’s NSA Latin as the “textbook,” will continue the new, inductive approach to mastering Latin grammar and syntax begun in Part I. At the end of Part II, you should have a firm handle on all the standard grammatical forms of the Latin language, enabling you, with the aid of a lexicon, to read and translate (albeit slowly and with difficulty) most classical and ecclesiastical Latin texts for general comprehension. Designed to accommodate students with busy or irregular schedules, it only meets once a month for three hours, and assignments are only due prior to each monthly meeting, though a recommended weekly schedule is provided. This course is strenuous but should be manageable for most graduate and advanced undergraduate students with an average of 8-10 hours to spend each week.
