LAT-102 |
College Lat I |
This course will be a one-semester , college-level introduction to Ancient Latin . The focus will include fundamental 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 . |
