Whether you're a University of Cincinnati pre-med student looking to brush up on your medical jargon, an Oak Hills High School student wanting to make your college applications look good, or you're simply curious about learning an ancient language, taking a Cincinnati Latin class with Varsity Tutors can be a fun and educational experience for you. Picking up a new language can certainly be challenging, especially when you might feel like you're the only one interested in learning it. Finding someone who can teach you Latin can be especially difficult as well, since very few people tend to speak it outside an academic setting. A Cincinnati Latin class can help you get the much-needed practice you need to help you confidently master this precursor to the Romance languages.
As the official language of the Vatican City, Latin is considered a "dead" language, as it is no longer the native tongue of any one community. However, many languages can be traced back to Latin, including Italian, Spanish, French, and Portuguese. While there have been many serious efforts throughout history to revive Latin, other vernacular languages quickly overshadowed them, pushing Latin back as other languages evolved. Despite this, Latin is still used frequently in medical, legal, and scientific settings, making it a critical skill that can give you a competitive edge in both your education and your career.
While Latin may not be used on a day-to-day basis out in public settings, it can still be a vital language to master. Whether you need to learn Latin in order to complete your college degree or you simply feel a certain respect for a language that gave rise to so many other languages, taking a Cincinnati Latin course can help you develop the proficiency that you desire to help you feel confident when faced with Latin terminology. Even if you've never intentionally uttered a word in Latin before, we can help you find a class that would be a good fit for you.
What concepts are taught in a Cincinnati Latin course?
Latin bears much resemblance to English, as we have borrowed many of our everyday words from this language. We even share the same Roman alphabet that was used to form Latin words. While we lay claim to 26 letters in our alphabet, though, Latin had only 23 - it didn't have any place for the letters j, v, or w. Fortunately, when studying Latin, there's no pressure to get the accent just right. None of the native speakers exist anymore to offer criticism of your pronunciation!
Just because Latin is 'dead', though, does not mean that it can be approached haphazardly. Learning proper grammar and infection is key to a full comprehension of this language. For example, the inflections placed on Latin words can completely change their intention. In English, conversely, we rely more on word order than the inflection. English also depends heavily upon pronouns to describe a setting. Latin, on the other hand, relies on the ending of a word to communicate who is performing which actions. Failure to recognize this, and ignoring the end of a Latin word, can quickly lead to serious errors and miscommunication. A Cincinnati Latin class can help you learn these key concepts to help you avoid any embarrassing gaffes or blunders.
Learning Latin may not be easy at first, but with plenty of practice, the vocabulary and grammar rules can eventually start to make sense. Acquiring a new language requires dedication to your studies, and we are more than happy to help assist you with it. No matter what your current skill level is, we want you to feel welcome.
How can a Cincinnati Latin course benefit me?

Our instructors are thoroughly vetted and enthusiastic about helping you learn. If you find that you are struggling with picking up the material presented in class, or you need additional help with your studies, you can also request one-on-one time with your teacher.
