Course objectives
Main objectives of the course can be summarized as follows:
- to learn basics of Latin grammatical system;
- to understand functions of grammatical categories;
- to learn grammatical terminology;
- to learn how to analyze and produce basic verbal and nominal forms;
- to understand basic syntactic structures;
- to remember a set of basic lexical units and match them with words in Romance languages;
- to read easy Latin texts (including the original ones).
The knowledge of Latin vocabulary and basic grammatical principles provides students with solid bases for their future studies of Romance languages, because their grammars are in some respects very similar to the Latin one.
