If you've ever wondered what it would be like to study Latin, consider enrolling in an Oklahoma City Latin course with Varsity Tutors. This course is perfect for students at local high schools such as Westmoore High School or Putnam City North High School. We also welcome college students and adult learners, so think about signing up if you attend a local college such as Oklahoma City University or if you're looking to expand your language proficiency. Learning Latin can be a difficult process, but an Oklahoma City Latin course can make it a bit easier for you by providing an immersive environment where you can practice with other students and with an expert instructor.
Latin is an intriguing language because it is the ancestor of the modern Romance languages that we have today. It is believed to have first appeared in an area of central Italy known as Latium. At the start of the Roman Empire, it had split into two essential forms. These forms were Classical Latin and Vulgar Latin. Classical Latin was formal and was influenced by Greek. Vulgar Latin was the form that was spoken by Roman citizens. It was spread throughout the Roman Empire and is the form that eventually gave rise to the Romance languages. As the centuries went by, Latin began to lose its influence. Although there were efforts to revive the language, it couldn't complete with vernacular languages like English and French.
Today, Latin is still spoken in Vatican City and within the Roman Catholic Church. Although it is considered a dead language since it's no longer spoken on a widespread level, this label is somewhat misleading. Latin remains very much alive in occupations such as medicine, law, and science. Students who plan on joining any of these fields should be at least somewhat familiar with Latin. Additionally, knowledge of Latin can be immensely helpful if you plan to study any of the related Romance languages.
What topics can I study in an Oklahoma City Latin course?
Let's face it, learning any new language takes a huge amount of effort and practice. Latin has parallels to the English language, which gives you an advantage when learning it. There are various topics that your instructor might review, such as vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar, and history. Let's have a look at each of these areas to get an idea of what they might entail.
You'll find that Latin often has many close similarities to the English language. Some words are so similar to English words that you'll be able to instantly recognize them. When you learn Latin nouns, you'll discover that they are categorized by gender. These genders are masculine, feminine, and neuter. The concept of nouns with gender can be difficult when you're first starting out in a language that uses it, but you'll find that it becomes easier with practice.
Latin pronunciation is relatively easy, although some students may need to put some extra effort into learning it. Your instructor can assist you if you come across any difficulties. One convenient feature of Latin pronunciation is that since it's no longer widely spoken, you don't need to worry about speaking it with the correct accent.
Grammar may not be the most exciting subject, but it's essential to mastering any language. Without grammar, you just have a bunch of vocabulary words with nothing to form them into coherent thoughts. Your instructor may introduce you to tenses and conjugations. Studying grammar can be the most difficult part of learning a language, but your instructor can help you along as you go. They might walk you through conjugations and may give you some helpful study tips so that the process goes more smoothly.
Your instructor may also discuss the history and culture that surrounds Latin. There's a vibrant realm of art and literature that goes along with the language. In this area, you'll be able to apply what you've learned in a historical context. This is where the language really starts to come alive, because you can gain a broader perspective on the impact that Latin has had in the world.
How can an Oklahoma City Latin course help me learn?
When you enroll in courses, you'll be able to join a community of students that you can collaborate with. Collaboration has actually been shown to give students a deeper understanding of the subject. This makes sense when you stop to think about it, because it allows students to help each other and exchange ideas. Of course, your instructor is there to oversee this collaboration, helping students if there's anything that isn't clear. If you start to stumble on conjugations or if there's a pronunciation that you can't quite figure out, your instructor can give you clarification on these issues. Keep in mind that you have the option of scheduling one-on-one time with your instructor if there are any issues that you are struggling with.
We understand that you are likely to be busy, which is why convenience is important to us. One excellent feature of classes is that they take place in an online environment. This means that you won't need to worry about getting out of the house or any of the hassles that go along with getting to school. All you need is a computer with a decent internet connection, and you can participate in classes from any location that you want. It doesn't get much better than that! Also, when you sign up for an Oklahoma City Latin class, you can choose between a four-week class and a two-week class. These classes are offered in different sections, with new classes beginning on a monthly basis.
How do I get started with an Oklahoma City Latin class?
Latin is a beautiful language that can give you an edge in academia and broaden your perspective on history. Learning it can give you a sense of satisfaction and make you a more informed citizen. Let us help you along your language learning journey. If you're interested in enrolling in an Oklahoma City Latin class, or if you have any questions, please feel free to contact Varsity Tutors today. We are here to help!

I graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in NYC in 2008, the oldest English speaking acting conservatory in the world.

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.

Students must treat one another politely and sympathetically, and students should be treated as responsible individuals. Further, while education is based on the passing on of knowledge, allowing students' interests and learning styles to inform a curriculum can lead to success in the classroom.
