Subject: [History_students] Latin and Ancient Greek
Message-ID: <s0486123.080@dpumgate.depaul.edu>

Basic Latin (LAT 111-113) will be taught beginning next Fall, and Elementary Ancient Greek is also available.  

Both are three part sequences, which bring students to reading level and elementary writing level within a year, and count for language credit within LAS.  In Basic Latin I and II, the Fall and Spring quarters are devoted to learning all of the grammar and syntax of Classical Latin.  By the Spring students begin to solidify their knowledge of the language by reading selections of Pliny, Cicero, Catullus and Ovid in the original.  Thereafter, students may enroll in Intermediate Latin (LAT 104 or 105), in which extended passages or entire books of prose or poetry are read in the original.  Finally, LAT 106 is a prose composition course, in which Latin is mastered by rendering passages of English prose into the style of Cicero.  This is an important research tool for students of History, philosophy, religious studies and literature.  It is also direct access to some of the best stuff ever written.
