Intro Video

Latin 101 is the first course in a two-semester introduction to the Latin language. The goal is to read Classical Latin by the end of the year, and in Latin 101 we will cover most of Latin morphology and a good deal of Latin syntax. Alongside our study of the Latin language, we will also have frequent discussions about Latin culture and history and why it still matters today.

Everything that you need to know about this course is on this website. You can find out about course objectives, course policies, assessment, and our full course schedule.

We will not but using a physical textbook, but rather an online textbook created by myself and several other colleagues in our department. Here you can find all sorts of useful readings, exercises, and resources to use. The faculty teaching LATN 101 have also created a repository of YouTube “lectures” that you can access here as well as a set of additional exercises.
