Learn Latin! Have you ever thought about what it would be like to travel through time? Imagine if you could go back and hear Julius Caesar speak in his own voice. Or along with the great poet Vergil recite the very words that cause Octavia, the sister of the Emperor Augustus, to faint. Cicero could share with you all the back channel gossip about the illustrious figures of the Golden Age of Rome. St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas could explain God and the World to you directly, without the filter of a translator’s interpretation.
What This Course is About
While you can’t literally go back in time, you can still hear the voices of these great writers in the very words they wrote in their own language, Latin. It brings the thoughts of some of the greatest minds of the past to life. This course aims to make Latin accessible to the widest possible number of people. It’s principally for the DIY (Do It Yourself) student, but it will be helpful to students in traditional classes and homeschoolers as well. It also provides you with a human resource (me) that you contact with your questions.
