In this module you will develop your knowledge of Latin grammar and widen your vocabulary, enabling you to master regular syntactical constructions and read standard Latin texts.

The module covers sections 4A-5G of Jones and Sidwell’s Reading Latin. By the end of it you should be able to understand all syntactical constructions covered in these units and demonstrate your ability by translating from Latin into English and from English into Latin.

In addition to the coursebook work, you will study a short unadapted text and practise reading and translating Latin texts at sight.
