“Using Roman History to Learn Latin Reading Skills”, Webinar
Rose Williams, Emerita Latin teacher
There is never enough room in a Latin class for everything we would like to teach. Some things are so important, however, that we need to make a bit of room for them. Roman history is one of these. Teaching a language is most successful when it encompasses, as much as possible, the culture of the people who created it. Language does not exist in a vacuum. Any language is impacted by where its people lived, what happened to them, and the ideas which they had to express for their survival and growth or which they considered important. The webinar will comprise of several readings from Roman history that are used to illustrate Latin grammar.
