Latin I

A very intruiging course. in it you will learn the first 3 noun declension endings, and 4-5 tenses of all 4 verb conjugations. you will also review roman history from its fabled conception. additionally, you will be able to learn how to properly utilize this inflected language and translate millenia old literature, such as the works of catullus, julius caesar, et. al. at the end of the course you will take the National Latin Examination level 1, and will most likely get a gold metal, as i did....especially since it was amazingly easy, compared to the daily tests, and weekly exams.

all in all this course is incredibly awesome, and you should definitely take it.

and here are some fantabulous quotes/inside jokes from lancaster session II LATI 04!:

"es asinus, decime" "tripedalis" "i'm not late, everybody else is just early" "canibus, w/ the dogs" "4 frisbees 20 minutes" "Marcus, the Duck" an infamous mosaic A glow in the dark turtle that someone brought to the class. Somehow, we started the tradition of sticking it in peoples' hair...xD

[edit] This is the opinion of someone else who took II LAT1 04 LAN: it was intriguing, but i did not find it nearly as sastifying as the writing CTY classes I have taken in previous years (The Critical Essay: Shakespeare, in paticular). I did not preform well on the National Latin Exam, and didn't receive any medals. However, if you are like the previous reviewer (who I happen to personally know ~_^), and can memorize conjugations/declensions readily, then Latin 1 is for you!

I wish this course had more history, though...I'm a big fan of Ancient Roman Culture/Mythology.
