Description: This Latin supplement is an excellent Christian Latin reading
and translation course. Christian Latin should always be the
first step in learning to translate Latin literature because
it has shorter, simpler sentences and clearer word structure
than classical authors. Just like you wouldn't study calculus
before you learn algebra, you shouldn't approach Caesar, Cicero,
or Virgil before you conquer Christian Latin.
The student workbook provides facing vocabulary, space for
interlinear translation, and grammar word study exercises,
and a CD and songbook are also utilized. The online classroom
for this course will feature in-class translation work, review
of vocabulary, an incorporation of the music audio files,
and 5-10 minutes of a beginner's look at the music history
involved in the hymns. Studying music history can give students
a soundtrack to which students can organize and enhance their
concept of history.When studying the Middle Ages, for example,
students will know what the music of the time sounded like.
By utilizing the latest technology, this class will be interactive,
with ways to learn on a visual and well as aural level. For
