Benefits of taking this class include:- Learning the father language of all Romantic languages (Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, French). This is an excellent gateway language to learning many new languages in the future. - Learning the etymology of thousands of English words which derive their meaning from Latin.- Learning the mechanics of a new language will help students come to a better understanding of grammar in their own language.

Have been taking Latin on Duolingo for a few months, now. Was looking for a different way to gain exposure to Latin language learning. So far, after one lesson, I'm pleased with the quality of this course. I'm also glad the anglophone instructor is able to trill his r's! (Unlike some voice actors on the Duolingo course.)

Not for beginners. It is hard to follow and it would be better with more examples.

I am delighted with this course and the way it is being taught. What I realise is that a lot of practice on a regular basis is needed. I find the Resources attached to the lectures very useful.
