Description

Latin is not a “dead language”—it is the root of much of modern Europe. Italian, Spanish, French, Portuguese, and Romanian all descend directly from it, and even English is full of Latin-based vocabulary. Learning Latin gives you the key to better understanding the structure, vocabulary, and history of many modern languages.

In these lessons, you will begin your journey into Latin step by step, discovering not only its grammar but also its immense cultural and intellectual legacy. You will see how declensions and conjugations, which may at first look like a puzzle, are in fact a powerful training ground for the mind. Translating from Latin requires attention, precision, and logic—it’s like solving a riddle that sharpens your reasoning and strengthens your ability to think clearly.

Together we will:

  • Build a solid foundation in Latin grammar, starting with nouns, verbs, and sentence structure

  • Learn practical vocabulary and see how it connects directly to modern Romance languages

  • Practice translation exercises, gradually moving from simple phrases to short adapted texts

  • Explore how the Romans thought, wrote, and expressed themselves, gaining access to a cultural heritage that still influences our world today

  • Develop critical skills: translating Latin is not just about words—it’s about training your brain to be more analytical, precise, and logical

Who is this course for?

  • Complete beginners curious about classical languages and culture

  • Students who want to improve their understanding of Romance languages by going back to their roots

  • Learners who enjoy logical challenges and want to strengthen their mind through translation practice

  • Anyone fascinated by history, literature, or philosophy and eager to access them in their original language

Format:
Each 55-minute session combines clear explanations, guided practice, and interactive exercises. You will not only learn how Latin works—you will use it as a tool to enrich your vocabulary, strengthen your logical thinking, and approach texts that have shaped Western culture for centuries.

Latin may be ancient, but the skills it develops—clarity of thought, precision in language, and deeper cultural awareness—are as modern and useful as ever. With this course, you’ll open the door to a language that is both a key to the past and a powerful instrument for your intellectual growth today.
