The principle aim of this course is to build on what was achieved in A Little Latin, to continue to find interest and enjoyment and to enhance our understanding of the influence of Latin on modern European languages. 

On this course, learners will:

• be able to identify, and use correctly, common Latin phrases used in English and understand their origins. 
• recognize Latin roots of a range of English words. 
• be able to read more complex sentences and be aware how a Latin sentence works. 
• be in a position to decide if they want to undertake further study in the area and understand what such study would entail. 
• have had a positive and enjoyable experience and will understand more about both Latin and English even if they decide not to continue with any formal study.  It is hoped that every learner will feel more confident about their ability to study a new subject and less intimidated by the idea of an ‘elite’ language. Specifically, it is hoped that learners will feel they have recovered from difficult past experiences of Latin and appreciate how interesting and absorbing even a little study of the language can be.   

This is an online course. A suitable electronic device such as a laptop, tablet or smartphone with internet access will be required. Learners will be required to download and use Zoom (free software).   Access to a Latin dictionary is useful but not essential.   It would be very useful if you could print off materials sent by the tutor so that less time is spent on screen sharing.
