Though Latin is technically a "dead" language," meaning that it is no longer widely spoken, it remains a fascinating language to learn. Latin is the main predecessor of the modern Romance languages such as Italian, French, Portuguese, and Spanish. Despite being a Germanic language, English is also heavily influenced by Latin. Given its former role as the language of medicine, science, and law in the Western World, Latin can make learning in those disciplines much easier. For students at a local school such as Canyon Crest Academy or Torrey Pines High School, learning Latin can be a great way to fulfill possible foreign language graduation requirements. If you are in undergraduate or graduate-level programs at schools like the University of California - San Diego or the University of San Diego, Latin can be helpful for those in Classical studies, medical, pre-law, or other degree programs.
What sort of skills and concepts can I learn during San Diego Latin lessons?
Latin is an important ancestor of English which makes certain aspects of the language easier to learn, but it still presents several challenges to the native English speaker. Many English words such as "precedent", "neutral", "adolescent", or "fortune" are descended directly from Latin words. While not all Latin vocabulary is quite as easy, a shared alphabet and similar words can make Latin vocabulary a bit simpler to learn than that of other languages. One of the tricky parts of learning this language is that Latin, classical Latin in particular, is a heavily inflected language. The ends of Latin words indicate information like the part of speech, number, and gender of nouns and the tense and number of verbs. These endings make Latin word order much more fluid than in English, and learning Latin requires you to spend significant time learning the correct word endings. Latin is fairly simple for English speakers to pronounce, particularly since there is no "correct" standard pronunciation for a dead language. English and Latin share an alphabet which makes reading and writing more accessible as well.

Learning from an expert who can help you understand which concepts and skills are foundational gives you a solid based on which to build. By building on a foundation of key linguistic skills and concepts, you are able to learn Latin more quickly and effectively. A more structured learning environment can also provide you with regular opportunities for conversation. Conversing in Latin can help you to practice a number of aspects of the language at the same time. In addition to understanding what your conversation partner says, you have to choose the right words for your response, use the correct word ending, and pronounce the words correctly. Having regular times devoted to speaking Latin can also help you to make internal connections between the written form of a word and the sound it makes. This can improve your speaking and writing of Latin.

John: San Diego Latin lesson instructor
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.
