Intermediate Latin Readings: Fabulae Romanae
This class is uniquely designed for those students of Latin who have covered many grammar topics but perhaps struggle with reading and translating. In this class we will begin slowly, covering only about 30 lines of translation per week, but by the end of the year we will cover twice as much! Our texts, from Fabulae Romanae, will captivate your child’s attention and teach them the history of Rome, from its founding all the way to Caesar and Cicero. Texts come from authentic Latin authors, primarily the historian, Livy. In this book, vocabularies are provided on the page facing the Latin for ease of access. Trickier grammar topics are discussed in the book and will be explained further in grammatical videos and in class discussion. We will make use of vocabulary quizzes and exercises to reinforce topics - but the primary focus is the translation of real Latin texts. If you’ve been looking to take your child past paradigms and into real translation, this course is for you!
