Latin II

In the second year of Latin, students continue to build on their knowledge of the language and the Roman people started in Latin I (or the MS Latin A and B series). They complete the study of Latin grammar and continue developing skills in vocabulary and etymology. Students continue to develop their reading skills in preparation for the transition from adapted Latin to original texts. The students will complete this course with a confidence in translating both single sentences and extended passages of Latin. They will be able to recognize Latin roots, prefixes, and suffixes in English words and thereby enrich their knowledge of their native tongue. Students in Latin II participate in the National Latin Exam.
