Students, professionals, and language learning buffs alike can begin learning Latin thanks to classes provided by Varsity Tutors. Regardless of your professional or educational background, there's a place for you in a Dayton Latin class, whether you're beginning your sophomore year at Stebbins High School, pursuing a bachelor's degree in Classics, or a Ph.D. student re-translating the Harry Potter series into spoken Latin.
There are many mental benefits to learning and using two or more languages. You can think of learning a new language as a rigorous exercise for your brain. You can improve your skills in memorization, decision-making, and planning. You may even stave off or slow down the development of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and dementia. Such conditions tend to develop in old age, so using two or more languages on a consistent basis is one way to keep your brain sharp even as you grow older.
Studies also show that children who are raised bilingual or multilingual tend to be more open-minded as they grow into teens and adults. Speaking multiple languages is strongly associated with greater openness to different cultures, spiritual beliefs, and national identities. By promoting critical thinking, learning languages can help individuals become more compassionate, receptive, and understanding.
Furthermore, recruiters may show a preference for candidates who are able to communicate effectively in two or more languages. This is because commodities, services, and people travel internationally at a rapid rate, and employees may often deal with people on the other side of the world in business. So, skills in intercultural dialogue and negotiation may be not just useful, but necessary.
Are you looking to master a new skill or preparing to start working at a company abroad? Either way, learning a language is a noble and fruitful endeavor. Even though there are about 6,500 languages spoken in the world today, Latin is a particularly stimulating and interesting language to learn.
Latin is a dead language, meaning that it is historical in nature and there are no contemporary native speakers. However, Latin survives as a liturgical language. It contains revelatory insights into the Vatican City and the Roman Catholic Church, where it is an official language.
The central Italian region of Latium, where the Italian capital of Rome is located, is where Latin was first found. Modern Romance languages like Spanish, French, Italian, and Portuguese developed from Latin. So, Latin can be very useful for those who want to master multiple languages and become polyglots, whether as a personal passion or to pursue opportunities in interpreting and translation, amongst other industries. In addition, knowing the word ending system of Latin can aid students as they prepare for standardized tests. Latin learners may also tend to have an easier time on exams like the GRE because they may have a stronger base in vocabulary.
Are you interested in learning a language, but worried that your hard work will be a waste because you never have time to sit down and practice? That's a common concern, and to address it, registering for a Dayton Latin course could make a lot of sense.
A Dayton Latin course can give you what you've been wanting from a language course all this time. From a collaborative classroom environment to individualized time to focus on your areas for growth, a Dayton Latin course can help you succeed. The class is completely online, so you can access your coursework remotely from your device and practice no matter where you are - even on the bus or during your break at work. Already knee-deep in Ovid? Or barely have a handle of those gendered nouns? A Dayton Latin class is open to all levels of proficiency.
What all can I expect to learn as a student enrolling in a Dayton Latin course?
There are a few elements of Latin that make it challenging for English speakers. For instance, Latin has three types of gendered nouns, namely masculine, feminine, and neuter. However, Latin syntax and grammar can also be quite formulaic. This means that through regular study and memorization, students can easily pick it up and begin crafting grammatical sentences.
How will a Dayton Latin class help me learn?
You're a busy person - your schedule is full of appointments, and finding time to devote to intensive language study is hardly on your mind. However, a Dayton Latin class may be what you need to get into or maintain your skills in Latin.
Since you'll attend a Dayton course entirely online, you can forget about adding an extra commute. In addition, classes are held at a variety of times so that you can maneuver around your packed schedule with ease.
Another key benefit is that you will have access to a useful digital tool known as the Live Learning Platform. Created to provide students with a learning environment that resembles a typical classroom, the Live Learning Platform lets you talk to your peers, receive feedback from your instructor, and maximize a collaboration-focused environment that puts you first.
As and when you need it, you can even request one-on-one time with your tutor. Individualized time is indispensable - it's when you can clarify specific doubts and gain a clearer understanding of the coursework without worrying about slowing down the class for everyone else. With some personalized attention, you can feel more assured in your abilities. As the coursework becomes more challenging and you gain more advanced skills, you don't have to worry about lagging behind.
I want to sign up. How do I go about it?

Whether you're in your first semester of Belmont High School or already something of a wordsmith with a deep understanding of those concise Latin expressions, registering for a Dayton Latin course can be your key to various opportunities. Thanks to Varsity Tutors, you can start your journey to Latin proficiency without wasting another second.
