About Online Study Day: Introduction to Latin
Spend a day online exploring the Latin with course tutor, Dr Antony Makrinos. We'll begin by learning the Latin alphabet, rules of pronunciation, accentuation and transliteration and discuss verb forms, nouns and adjectives. Next we will discuss the Present, Imperfect and Future tenses and some rules of syntax. We'll then read, analyse and translate some sentences in Latin and practice what you've learned with some exercises on grammar and syntax. After the lunch break, we will first focus on irregular verb forms and syntax (Subject, Verb, Object, Predicate), and then explore the uses of cases, and the first and second declension of adjectives.
This study day is suitable for beginners. It takes place on Microsoft Teams and the joining information will be emailed to you. The study day will not be recorded. There will be some optional participant interactivity during the study day.
