I Foundations in Latin:
4:30 – 6:30

Using the text book by Henle, this course provides systematic instruction in Latin grammar, syntax, vocabulary and sentence-building in English to Latin as well as Latin to English, leading to the reading of short passages in Latin.

This course is designed and paced for busy adults with a fascination for the mother-tongue of our Catholic Western heritage and liturgy. Enjoy the company of like-minded folks as we study Latin – this most LIVING language – in the gracious rooms of Ivy Hall. Interested persons may contact the instructor at (215) 822-0261, or by e-mail at jmhlatin@verizon.net.

II Readings:
7:00 – 9:00

This course is an on-going review and application of Latin grammar and syntax using Orberg’s Lingua Latina as reference. However, this course does not limit itself to a textbook – rather, our primary purpose is to use the Latin we have acquired to read original Latin works. For example in the Fall we read passages of the Vulgate Scriptures using a beautiful facsimile of the Book of Kells,  which afforded us the opportunity not only of reading Scripture in Latin, but to learn to decipher the beautiful manuscript text as well.

If you have a basic knowledge of Latin and want the opportunity to read text with assistance, and to engage in thoughtful discussion of the content with fellow Latin lovers, we would welcome your addition to our numbers.  Interested persons may contact the instructor at 215) 822- 0261 by e-mail at jmhlatin@verizon.net.
