Why study Latin? Refresh your language skills, find out where the English language came from, learn how much we rely on Latin in our everyday conversation. Some people use Latin to dress up their English, and others use Latin to confuse us. What do doctors and lawyers mean when discussing your body or your lawsuit? How do we read those Super Bowl numbers or those years on tombstones? You will find out how easy it is to learn other languages once you are introduced to Latin. The course will also offer a comprehensive look at the History of Rome.

The recommended text book, Latin for Dummies, will be on sale in the College office for $20.00
