My goal for the project was simply to dive into the language and get as far as I could through the curriculum. I’m majoring in history and in graduate school I’m planning on emphasizing in Greek and Roman history. Alongside Latin, I am also learning Greek.

EDGE Project Proposal

Learning Latin  For my project I will learn to read and translate Latin by working through the Wheelock’s Latin curriculum by Frederic M. Wheelock and Richard A LaFleur.

Learning a language requires consistent effort--for my project I plan to spend a minimum of an hour, five days a week, for three months, studying from my textbooks and doing outside translations. I will also spend time each week meeting with a study group and with my mentors as needed. This project will jump start my future studies of Latin and other ancient languages in graduate school and in my own

Notes

While learning Latin I tried to take notes on each chapter as I worked through them. Because I ended up working through the first several chapters multiple times, a lot of my notes were very repetitive. These are pictures of some of my notes on basic vocabulary, verb endings, noun structures, noun cases, and basic translations from the last time I worked through the first several chapters of Wheelock's Latin.
