COURSE DESCRIPTION

Living Latin Online is an intensive online Latin experience designed to bring the dynamic experience of Paideia’s Living Latin study-programs to an online environment. The program includes daily intensive reading and discussion of Latin texts from across the history of Latin literature. The program's online sessions are designed to build students' facility in speaking and understanding Latin. According to participants' ability, the language of instruction is Latin. In addition to the daily sessions, there will be a lecture providing further historical and philosophical background relating to the program theme.

This summer's session of the Living Latin Online program will be dedicated to Seneca’s Moral Epistles to Lucilius. Through his letters, Seneca explores the relationship between teacher and student, between author and reader, and between expressing ideas and putting them into practice.

PREREQUISITES

This program welcomes students of all levels of Latin, from beginners through highly experienced Latinists. Students are grouped by level. The program's lower levels welcome beginning Latin students and include both reading of the texts in Latin and in English translation as well as a review of Latin grammar. The upper levels aim to read and discuss texts entirely in Latin. Paideia alumni and Nexus Members are particularly encouraged to apply.
