2025-2026 Latin 1

$715.00

Latin 1

The language of the ancient Roman people is well worth studying for its own sake, but especially for the sheer joy of reading the Romans in their own words. Many important Western texts, such as Virgil’s Aeneid, are best enjoyed in the original language. There are other benefits to studying Latin, of course, but we should always approach another language and culture with respect for its particular genius rather than for the benefits it can confer upon us. 

Latin 1 will introduce students to the rudiments of Latin grammar and syntax with the goal of building reading proficiency and love of the language. Latin 1 will cover Wheelock’s Latin chapter 1-20. This class will rely primarily on what is called the “grammar-translation” approach, which particularly emphasizes learning grammar and vocabulary first. However, this class will also integrate reading and translating to help students put their knowledge into practice. 

The long-term goal of such a class is to enable students to read and appreciate Latin literature for years to come, especially because this study can illuminate our understanding of Western authors who have depended so much on their Roman models such as John Milton or Shakespeare or C.S. Lewis. 

Students will be evaluated periodically through the semester based on short weekly exercises, a weekly quiz, a midterm and final exam. 

Students also have free access to Dr. Phillips’ office hours and free access to the House of Humane Letters Language Tutoring Center for extra assistance.
