  • Day and time: Thursday 13:45 - 15:15
    Weekly
  • Length of course: 3 terms. Autumn (10 Weeks), Spring (10 Weeks), Summer (9 Weeks)
  • Number of places: 8
  • Start date: 12 October 2023
  • Description:

    We will review the constructions in Latin using the subjunctive that we met in Year 3, if the group feel these need revising. Then we will continue to work with Book Four of The Cambridge Latin Course There we will meet more usages which we find in Classical Latin and inevitably more vocabulary. This will take us closer, or even beyond, Latin at GCSE Level. We may also read some simple examples of prose and poetry from the pens of Roman writers. This book takes us right into the centre of life in Rome itself and gives us the opportunity to discuss many really interesting topics of life in Ancient Rome. Newcomers to the group who have a good grounding in Latin – even from many years previously - or who wish to consolidate their understanding of the language and extend their knowledge of Roman culture - will be very welcome. Let’s have fun exploring Latin and Roman life together.

  • I have always enjoyed working with the Cambridge Latin Course since it came out in the 70s and it has been fun using it with pupils and adults of all ages. It offers an insight into Roman life alongside the introduction of grammar and language study.
