The Schola Latina is a mailing list intended for
those who wish to follow a systematic course of
study in the colloquial Latin Lanaguage, i.e. for
those who wish to acquire an ability to actively
use Latin in communication.
The course will begin with a presentation of the
Nova Roman Practical Latin Course as an
introduction to a subsequent comprehensive on-line
course in conversational Latin including all basic
Latin grammar and an adequate fundamental
vocabulary with an emphasis on practical,
high-frequency items. Abundant self-correctable
exercises will be provided.
The course presupposes an adequate knowledge of
English for passive comprehension. Quesions may
be asked of the Magister on the list in English,
French, German, Italian, Esperanto, Chinese,
Japanese, and certain other languages, for
the convenience of those for whom English is not
a first language.
It is recommended that the learner have at
least 90 minutes quality study time available
each week for the NR-Practical-Latin phase of
the course.
Students arriving late for the course may
catch up using the lessons in the Files section
of this list site, and the archives.
