    Tento předmět je určen primárně pro studenty oborů Latinský jazyk v prvním ročníku a pro studenty jednooborové Klasické řečtiny ve druhém ročníku. Studenti z ostatních oborů musí počítat s větším rozsahem učiva, než jaký je požadován v latinách pro nelatináře. Ve výuce se používají učební materiály, které jsou před začátkem semestru zpřístupňovány v IS MU (ve studijních materiálech předmětu).
