This Introduction to Latin course is designed to lay the foundations for the further study of Latin. To this purpose, Merit uses the Cambridge Latin Course series of textbooks. The first two units of these textbooks introduce students to a broad range of grammatical concepts and vocabulary. While much of this is done with more traditional methods such as quizzes and written homework exercises, narrative and dramatic passages form the core of the course. They are the main means of consolidating the language, and increase in length and complexity as the course progresses. The passages have a developing story line and context related to a featured aspect of Roman culture. Readings on these cultural topics are assigned at the end of each stage and reviewed in class. Grammatically, the course introduces students to the nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, and ablative cases as well as several verb tense tenses' some of which we do not have in English.
