This course continues the study of this key Classical language as students consolidate the basic elements covered in Introductory Latin, expand their working vocabulary, and are introduced to more advanced grammatical principles. Background information on Roman literature, culture and history is woven into the subject matter throughout the semester. Upon completion of the course, students should have sufficient expertise to read texts of moderate difficulty with assistance. Students who complete this course are eligible to progress to Intermediate Latin.
