Whether you are a Northland High School senior with your eyes set on graduation, you're currently studying pre-law at The Ohio State University, or you're simply someone who appreciates the language that gave rise to the modern Romance languages, enrolling in a Columbus Latin course provided by Varsity Tutors can help you gain a better grasp of this ancient and fascinating language. Committing yourself to mastering a new language can be fraught with challenges, especially one that isn't used in everyday vernacular like Latin is. A traditional classroom setting can be intimidating and may not cover all the material that you may need to properly learn the language, either. A Columbus Latin class can introduce you to this language in a manner that is both engaging and comprehensive, helping you get the vital practice to help you gain the necessary experience with this historical language.
While Latin may not be used in a day-to-day setting, it still is a very important language to learn. For those of you who may be studying medicine, theology, law, or science, Latin is a language that you may need to rely upon heavily in your career. For instance, Latin is still used in a clinical healthcare setting, and much of binomial nomenclature can be traced back to Latin etymology. Despite being considered a "dead" language, Latin is very much alive in academia and is still considered the official language of Vatican City.
Even though Latin may no longer be considered a spoken community language, learning it can still help you feel more confident in both your studies and in your career. A Columbus Latin course can introduce you to this language, allowing you to practice it at a rate that can feel comfortable to you, whether you've already studied the language intensively or you've never knowingly spoken a single phrase from it before.
What might I learn from a Columbus Latin class?
Unlike the English language, which depends heavily on word order and placement to convey a point, Latin instead relies upon infection to communicate clearly. Latin also has little need for pronouns, either. That means that a special focus is often placed on the end of a word to help you understand what action is being performed, and who is performing it. Failure to grasp this key concept of Latin can lead to gross miscommunications and completely change the intention of a statement. A Columbus Latin course can help you to learn these essential grammatical rules, helping you to avoid any technical communication errors that could otherwise arise.
Fortunately, even if you've never consciously been exposed to Latin before, you may find that it's already a little bit familiar to you. For instance, the Roman alphabet is still widely used throughout the world. We share many of the same letters with the original 23-character Latin alphabet, with the exception of j, v, and w. Latin is also considered the precursor to the Romance languages (such as French, Italian, and Spanish), which means that many words may already be somewhat familiar to you. You may also find it a relief that you do not need to worry about speaking with a perfect Latin accent, as there are no longer any native speakers around to criticize your tone.
Despite having many similarities to modern languages, learning Latin can be challenging at first. Even if you feel daunted and overwhelmed, we can help you gain expertise in this language. Ample practice may be needed before you feel confident exercising it, and we can work with you to help you grow stronger in your Latin studies, no matter what your current proficiency level is.
How can I learn from a Columbus Latin course?
A Columbus Latin class can be extremely beneficial to you, no matter what your current work or school schedule looks like. You may find that between juggling your studies or your personal life, it may seem hard to fit in the time to learn a new language. We understand that this can be a serious consideration for you, which is why we have many convenient options available to you from which you can choose. We have classes that run on a two-week or a four-week course, depending on the pace you desire. We also have classes that start at both different times of the day and various days of the week. This means that we have plenty of sections that can fit your schedule, giving you the flexibility that you may need to help you learn.
Unlike conventional classroom settings, which often require stressful commutes and anxiety-inducing environments, our classes are entirely online. That means that you can practice Latin in a live virtual platform and enjoy a real-time encounter with both your teacher and your classmates. You can ask your instructor questions as the class unfolds, and even interact with your classmates to help you develop and strengthen your Latin aptitude. If you find yourself struggling to grasp the material, or you feel like you may need additional help from your teacher, you can even request one-on-one time with them to help you improve your Latin.
How can I get signed up with a Columbus Latin class?
Learning Latin may take commitment and dedication, and it might not be easy at first to master, but it can be one of the best things you can do for both your academics and your career. While it may not be used much outside of the professional medical, scientific, or legal sector, learning it can give you a much-needed competitive edge to help you stand out. Whether you are about to finish up your studies at Briggs High School, you need Latin to help you graduate pre-law from The Ohio State University, or you simply recognize the myriad of benefits of learning this language, a Columbus Latin class provided by Varsity Tutors can help you feel more assured when using it.

My interests outside of work and professional development include all things Cleveland (specifically Cleveland sports teams), restauranteering, training/athletics, and travel. Although I undoubtedly work hard, I have been mentored and aided by some pretty incredible people- I hope to pass on those teachings and mentorship to my students.... Academia can oftentimes seem like a repetitive cycle of memorization, but is regurgitating information really "learning" a concept or process? My teaching philosophy stresses both the "why" factor and placing ideas, concepts, and teachings within a greater context. Simply memorizing facts does not equate to knowledge- I will challenge students to critically think about what they are learning while encouraging them to ask questions beyond the presented content.
