Latin, the language of the Roman Empire, survived for centuries as the common language in Europe for science, philosophy and theology. It gave birth to the Romance languages: French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Romanian. Latin is also the root of at least 60% of English vocabulary!

In PART TWO learn the perfect system verb tenses and study third declension nouns, all while reading simple Latin stories taken from Ovid's Metamorphoses. Required textbook — see receipt.
