Learning Latin

Latin may not be a commonly spoken language but its roots, prefixes and suffixes constitute 60 percent of all English words, and many of its terms are still used in philosophy, medicine, biology, religion, government and law. Latin’s online presence is also alive and well. Use the Learning Latin Web Guide to take advantage of the literacy-building attributes of Latin, to better understand the use of Latin in daily life and to find valuable resources for educators.

Learning Latin « The Life That Chose Me

No, I am not teaching Latin in my classroom, although we have had brief lessons on Spanish and Irish as part of our social studies dealing with other countries. My students will probably have no occasion to visit Ireland or Mexico, but neither will they use Algebra, Geometry, Statistics or a study on matter or plant tropisms. But we study them anyway as part of our regular curriculum instead of life skills. It’s a NCLB thing. And it’s fun.

Learning Latin | eHow.com

Learning Latin can be challenging: The grammatical system is different from English, there's an immense vocabulary, and the fact that no one speaks it anymore makes it impossible to jet off and practice your skills by chatting with some locals. But with a little study, Latin can prove to be a rewarding and intellectually stimulating language, and you will be able to peruse classical texts with a richer understanding.

Earning her GED gave her the confidence to try a couple of college classes, and she went on to earn her associate degree in 1986. While working a number of jobs on campus, Williams earned a bachelor's degree at the University of Illinois and later a master's in higher education administration.
