LAT-103
Interm Latin I
This course will be a one-semester continuation of the Latin I college-level introduction to Ancient Latin. The progression from Latin I will involve a more sophisticated treatment of vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation and translation. While the content of instruction will consist mostly of Classical Latin( the Golden and Silvery Ages), the pronunciation will be ecclesiastical. The rationale for this is founded upon the idea that Latin was a living, spoken language, evolving for nearly 2500 years, and the latest significant stage of that development( regarding pronunciation) was arguably the Latin of the Roman Catholic Church, which is still the official language of the
Vatican.
