Latin 1 - TNSP

Self-Paced Courses are accessed through our learning management system. The students are guided by clear weekly schedules, instructional videos, and automated assessments. Courses are written to be completed in one academic year, but students set their own pace. No grading is provided, but answer keys are available for most courses. Access is for one calendar year.

Course Description: The study of Latin is a wonderful way to teach advanced grammar skills—the first leg of the mediaeval trivium. No less importantly, it opens up the student to the living language of the Church and Her vast library of contributing authors. Students cover the first 32 lessons of Benjamin D’Ooge’s Latin for Beginners; memorize 20 prayers; complete 20 translations and compositions.

Grammar includes the following:

• Principles of Grammar
• First and Second Declensions
• Agreement of Adjectives
•  Possessive Adjective Pronouns
• All Cases
• The Nine Irregular Adjectives
•  The Demonstrative is, ea, id
• Conjugation: Present, Imperfect, Future, Perfect, Pluperfect, and Future Perfect of sum, and 4 regular conjugations (active and passive)
• and more!

Translation assignments are available from all three time periods—ancient, medieval, and modern—which will allow students to pick works that complement their Traditio Nostra readings.

English Grammar: The parent guides for this course direct parents to the grammar sections of English Grammar for Students of Latin. This allows students to integrate their Latin grammar studies with their English grammar. Students have access to a grammar course suite that guides their reading of English Grammar and provides quizzes.
