About This Class

“Once upon a time, there was an Empire whose domination spread far and wide and covered most of the world, as it was known back then. And at the heart of the Empire there stood the majestic capital, the Eternal City, Rome…”

(insert cheesy music here)

How’s that for a Latin course introduction? Awful, I know… :))

But the fact is, Rome actually was a superpower during Antiquity, and its language was indeed spoken by both the conquerors and the conquered…

What are the other four facts that everyone should know about Latin, you may wonder…? Well, there’s just one way to find out: by signing up for this one-time course!

You may not want to study Latin at all, but taking a glimpse into the idiom that is the basis for all Romance languages might prove useful!

We’ll explore some of the Latin that we English speakers use every day, perhaps without even realizing it. We’ll discuss the way Latin might have been pronounced when it was still a spoken language. We’ll even learn some “survival Latin” – you never know when they’ll invent a time machine! ;)

For this, and some more, come and join us for a (hopefully) interesting and amusing class!
