Course: Traditional Catholic Latin Year One
Introduction, Nouns, Pronouns, and Adjectives

This course is still in development. We apologize for the inconvenience. Please find an alternate course from ADA or from another source. Thank you!

Course description:

As one would expect in an introductory text, the emphasis is on the parts of speech – in particular, nouns, pronouns, and adjectives. This Level One book begins with an excellent introduction: why study Latin; the various ways to learn a foreign language; and the various schools of Latin pronunciation. The text then moves on to nouns: the concepts of Latin nouns (case, number, gender, stems, and inflections), and an in-depth study of the five declensions.   After nouns, pronouns and adjectives are covered in much the same systematic way.

In this way, the student is well-prepared to move onto Year Two, which covers verbs (
conjugations, mood, voice, and tense) as well as adverbs, participles and much more.    

This Level One book is a new work, with passages and examples pertaining to the Traditional Catholic Faith, good literature, and interesting topics.  It also contains many sentence diagramming examples, which are critical for proper thinking and analysis.  As with all of our courses, we can grade all the coursework for you - a huge timesaver with a subject like Latin, in which the student must complete many exercises in order to get a grip on the language.

This first year of Latin will give the student a firm foundation in the fundamental concepts of the language.  As one would expect in a first year language course, the emphasis is on the parts of speech – in particular, nouns, pronouns, and adjectives. This Level One book begins with an excellent introduction (why study Latin, the various ways to learn a foreign language, and the various schools of Latin pronunciation). The text then moves on to nouns: the concepts of Latin nouns (case, number, gender, stems, and inflections). The focus then turns to an in-depth study of the five declensions.   After this, nouns, pronouns and adjectives are covered in much the same systematic way.

This Level One Latin book is full of edifying passages and examples pertaining to the Catholic Faith, good literature, and interesting topics.  It also contains many sentence diagramming examples, which are critical for proper thinking and analysis. 

This is a course for which we highly recommend enrollment in Angelic Doctor Academy, since with a subject like Latin, the student must complete many exercises in order to get a grip on the language. This means countless hours of corrections for the parent. We can grade all these exercises, allowing you to help the student with concepts.
