Varsity Tutors can help you reach for your language learning goals with a Jacksonville Latin course. No matter if you are looking to learn Latin as a new hobby, are studying Latin at the University of North Florida, or you are a high school student at Stanton College Preparatory, we can set you up in a class that can address your needs. It can be difficult to know where to begin when taking up a language, especially if you have little experience in learning a new language. Furthermore, a traditional classroom may not be the best way for you to do it. Being successful in learning Latin requires plenty of opportunities to speak and write the language. With a Jacksonville Latin course, you will be given these opportunities in a language learning environment along with a Latin instructor who has the right skills to help you make progress quickly.
The Latin language began in central Italy where Rome is located. Latin Influenced the Romance languages, which are Italian, French, Romanian, Spanish, and Portuguese. Some division in the Latin language began when literature was being developed in Rome. The two types were called Classical and Vulgar Latin. Classical Latin was much more formal and elegant than Vulgar Latin. Classical Latin was also greatly influenced by the grammar, vocabulary, and style of the Greek language. Vulgar Latin was the popular spoken form of the language. Vulgar Latin was the form that inspired the Romance languages. It was spoken by many colonists and soldiers in the Roman Empire. The two forms of Latin differed because Vulgar Latin uses more prepositions, fewer infections, and has greater regularity of word order.
Latin is considered a dead language. This means that Latin is no longer represents a society's spoken language. Latin was a living language during the Middle Ages and into the Early Middle period. There were attempts made to save the language in the 17th century, but because vernacular languages were rising in popularity, these attempts failed. Examples of vernacular languages are French, Italian, and English. These languages already had their own classical forms. Latin was used less and less as society changed. Vernacular languages had fully taken over during the 19th century. Latin is survived by The Roman Catholic Church and Vatican City. Latin is the official form of communication in the Catholic Church and the official language of Vatican City.
The Latin alphabet is still used, even though Latin is considered dead. Languages like English still use the Roman alphabet. The Roman alphabet originally only had 23 letters. Letters v, w, and j were added on during the Middle Ages. There are still many advantages to studying Latin. The language is still used in legal studies, theology, medicine, and scientific research. If you have a career in these fields or are looking to have one someday, Latin could be helpful to know. Latin is also a great language to learn if you want to pursue different languages in the future, as many other languages are rooted in Latin. Taking a Jacksonville Latin course could help you take advantage of what the language has to offer.
What will a Jacksonville course go over?
All languages have concepts that can be hard to grasp. A Jacksonville Latin course could help you learn more easily. Many Latin learners find pronouncing words easy, as many English words originate from Latin. In fact, some English words are almost identical to Latin words. For example, the Latin word for desire is "desidero," the Latin word for finish is "finis," and the Latin word for persuade is "persuadeo." A topic that can be hard to understand is inflection. The end of words, or the inflections, are necessary for understanding how words go together to form sentences in Latin. This can be hard to understand because in English sentence order is used to understand the meaning. For example, "The cats are chasing the mice" means something completely different than "The mice are chasing the cats." When learning the meaning of a sentence in Latin, you must look to the ends of words. Some other topics within the class are reading Latin, common phrases, Latin History, grammar and sentence structure, and much more. In a Jacksonville Latin class, you will be given plenty of chances to practice these concepts.
How might a Jacksonville Latin class help me learn?
If you enroll in a Jacksonville Latin class, you will see just how engaging and convenient the classes are. All classes are held online, which means you do not have to commute to attend a session. You can find your favorite study spot and start learning with ease. You will also have access to a live instructor and classmates, which make it easy for you to engage in activities and start practicing Latin. If you are struggling with a concept such as inflection, you can always rely on your instructor or have a conversation about it with a classmate. If you are really struggling, you can sign up for one-on-one time with your instructor. In a Jacksonville Latin class, we provide you with everything we can to help you grow your language learning skills and your command of Latin.
Another advantage of taking a Latin class is how flexible the session times are. We know your schedule can be busy. Between your obligations and downtime, it can be hard to squeeze in learning Latin. That's why new courses start on a monthly basis. You also can choose between taking a two-week course and a four-week course. With lots of sessions to pick from, we can find a class to fit your busy schedule.

Leo: Jacksonville Latin course instructor
Nothing gives me greater satisfaction than seeing the look on a student's face when he/she has just grasped a difficult concept.... My teaching philosophy is difficult concepts are merely combinations of simple concepts. If you show a student that all the pieces are straightforward, they broaden their horizons and reach great heights.... In a first session with a new student, I would find out what interests them so I can draw analogies from that area. I would also assess what they know already on the topic we will be studying so I know more clearly what I should assist them with.

I graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in NYC in 2008, the oldest English speaking acting conservatory in the world. I graduated Summa from University of St Thomas with a BA in English, and just wrapped up a MS in Data Science from Northwestern. I'm a huge Red Sox fan and love watching detective shows when I have free time.... Positivity. Always. I believe that if a student is given positive tools and is allowed to understand the material rather than be lectured at, they're more likely to do well in the future.
