LL 3: Latin 3

Many report that the completion of this three year cycle is often the equivalent to more than three years of study in the average high school program. By the second semester, students are doing topical readings on a range of subjects—in Latin! We cover lesson 70 through the end of Benjamin D’Ooge’s Latin for Beginners, finishing grammar by the end of the first semester.

Grammar includes the following:

Construction with cum; Ablative of Specification; Gerund and Gerundive; Predicate Genitive; Indirect Statements; Dative with Compounds; Subjunctive in Indirect Questions; Dative of Purpose or End for Which; Genitive and Ablative of Quality or Description; and more!

Students then transition away from memorization and into actual reading of long texts. Readings in the second semester include, but are not limited to: sacred music and art, vocations, education, work, and family life from such authors as Julius Caesar, Cicero, Ovid, and Augustine.
