This course is for students who have sufficient knowledge of Latin to be ready to study Latin texts. In each lesson sentences for translation into Latin will be set as homework, which will be marked at the beginning of the next lesson. We will then spend time reading and discussing the texts. Each lesson we will also spend up to 15 minutes looking at some aspect of Roman history or culture, either from a document or a film. New students: Please be advised that you will need to contact WEA to ask which chapters will be studied in the upcoming term.

After that point, an administration fee of $30 will apply.
