This fun, innovative approach to language learning teaches the foundations of traditional grammar. It starts from scratch: no previous grammatical knowledge is assumed. Each week we examine an aspect of English grammar and then explore the same phenomenon in Ancient Greek and Latin. Through a series of practical exercises you will learn the basic skills needed to read and compose in these ancient languages. The comparative grammatical approach of this course will provide you with an ideal foundation for learning other languages, too.
