Course Description
Latin II is an exploration of the major points remaining in Latin grammar and a continuation of your study of Latin I. The three main goals for the course are: learning the grammar of Latin II, learning the vocabulary of Latin II, and continuing to explore the culture and history of the Romans through research, projects, and discussions. The first two goals will enable you to read complex Latin stories, which will use such Latin grammar points as participles, the passive voice, comparative and superlative adjectives, and the subjunctive mood. The third goal will further your pursuit of the amazing world of the Romans and its impact on our world today.
