Thanks to Varsity Tutors, students of all ages, regardless of their educational or professional background, can begin learning Latin. Whether you're a freshman at Union High School, an undergraduate student pursuing your bachelor's degree at the University of Tulsa, or a doctoral candidate exploring the history of medieval Poland, a Tulsa Latin course may be just what you need to either start learning or brush up on your Latin skills.
In the fields of business and global commerce, knowing another language can give you a huge competitive advantage. This is because in the global economy you may often encounter and communicate with people from a completely different culture, so knowing how to engage in intercultural dialogue is vital.
Similarly, being proficient in two or more languages can also help you become more tolerant of diverse viewpoints and open to experiencing different cultural contexts where you may not share the dominant traditions and beliefs. Since learning a language is all about going beyond your own lived experiences and being willing to walk in another's shoes, you can begin to develop deeper empathy and compassion, and navigate the world with a more holistic understanding of the diverse people who also call it home.
Furthermore, researchers have revealed that learning a new language helps shape the contour of your brain in positive ways. Cognition and decision-making skills improve with the process of gaining mastery in any given language. As a result, being bilingual or multilingual may even lower your risk of developing diseases like Alzheimer's and dementia that are associated with aging.
So, whether you're a student, professional, or simply someone looking for new avenues to broaden your horizons, learning a language is an excellent choice. Latin, in particular, can present various exciting opportunities for people at any stage in their careers.
Although Latin is widely regarded as a so-called "dead language", it is still the official language of Vatican City and the Roman Catholic Church. So, beginning to learn Latin can be the first step of figuring out if you want to join your local seminary, or to simply learn more about your family history and the way it was shaped by religion.
Encountered in ancient times as the language of Latium, the central Italian region where Rome is located, Latin is also the precursor of the Romance languages. In other words, popularly spoken languages like Spanish, French, and Italian were derived heavily from Latin. Students can gain insights into these languages should they decide to learn Latin. English, too, contains many words rooted in Latin, so learning Latin vocabulary can even expand your English vocabulary!
But even as Latin can offer students many benefits and chances to grow intellectually, personally, and professionally, learning a language is not an endeavor to take lightly. Learning any language tends to demand a considerable investment of time and energy. Without regular practice, students may risk losing any ability they may have gained through the coursework.
That's where a Tulsa Latin class could be a great idea. With a Tulsa Latin class, you can have access to regular opportunities to exercise your Latin muscles, benefit from personalized time with your instructor, and make the most of a collaborative learning environment centered on interactions amongst peers. Moreover, a Tulsa Latin course is entirely online, and classes are offered at different times. So, your scheduling needs won't be forgotten.
Whether you're just starting to learn the complex system of word endings or examining Homeric influence on classical Latin literature, taking a Tulsa Latin class can provide you with an opportunity to either pick up or maintain your Latin proficiency.
What skills can I expect an instructor to review?
First and foremost, it's important to take note of the fact that there are two broadly defined variants of Latin: classical and vulgar. Deeply influenced by the Greek language, classical Latin is typically more elegant and formal in nature. In contrast, vulgar Latin can be considered the spoken form of Latin. It is the register of Latin that was carried by Roman soldiers and colonists throughout the farthest reaches of the Roman empire.
There are elements of Latin that may not seem too difficult for an English speaker to grasp and master. For one, a host of modern English words are rooted in Latin, so picking up vocabulary may be easier than you expected. Rigorously studying Latin vocabulary may also help students be better prepared for challenging standardized tests such as the SAT and GRE, which both require an extensive vocabulary to pass.
On the other hand, Latin has a variety of inflections, gendered nouns, and syntax which requires adjective-verb agreements. With the help of knowledgeable instructors, you may be able to master the more challenging aspects of Latin at a faster rate.
How could a Tulsa Latin class help me learn?
Finding time to devote to language study can be intimidating. But since a Tulsa Latin course is entirely online, finding a time slot that makes sense for your schedule is easy. Additionally, each course utilizes a handy tool called the Live Learning Platform. This platform offers students access to a range of features that simulate the experience of being in a standard classroom. You can have conversations with your peers, and engage with your instructor to reap the benefits of a collaboration-focused learning environment.
Furthermore, each class welcomes students regardless of their proficiency. With the capacity to request one-on-one time with your instructor, you're able to clarify your doubts and get that much-needed individualized time to shape your Latin learning journey.
How can I sign up and start taking Latin classes today?
If you want to sign up or simply learn more information about a Tulsa Latin class, get in touch with the educational consultants at Varsity Tutors as soon as possible. Whether you're in your first semester of Latin at Booker T. Washington High School or already halfway through reading the Latin translation of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas", registering for a Tulsa Latin course can open many doors for you.
New sections commence on a monthly rolling basis. Classes are held during various time slots, including weekends and evenings. Today's the day: start your journey to Latin proficiency now.
