Our Latin heritage

Lillian M. Hines

3 ideas

  1. Latin grammar by declension and conjugation

    Nouns inflect by case and number while verbs inflect by person, tense, and mood. Mastery proceeds through systematic memorization of paradigm tables.

  2. Latin as the root of English vocabulary

    Learning Latin roots illuminates a large share of English derivatives. Etymology becomes a memory aid and a bonus payoff of study.

  3. Graded readings with cultural notes

    Lessons pair grammar drills with passages on Roman history and mythology. Language study is embedded in the civilization that produced it.
