This course introduces students to the study of Latin. It consists of a series of carefully graded readings drawn (for the most part in modified form) from the writers of the Roman world, especially Plautus. As students work through these readings they are introduced to the fundamental grammatical principles that underpin Latin and to a basic working vocabulary in Latin.
