Latin

Course summary

This subject offers a unique opportunity to discover the culture of the ancient Romans by reading original literature in the original language. Forget about learning a language just for the grammar and vocabulary tests -though there will still be plenty of that! This is what makes studying Latin at A-Level so rewarding. You will be going well beyond GCSE, developing your language skills and ability to read different genres and styles of writing. You will read from a variety of authors: the orator Cicero, the historian Tacitus, and the poets Virgil and Ovid.
