London CityLit online Latin courses

[Pianophile]

Hi

What did you decide to do?

Hi Seneca -

I didn’t enrol with CityLit but am working through the Reading Latin course at my own pace and in parallel with Roma Aeterna. I am pretty sure RL Grammar and Exercises will fill in all those gaps left by LLPSI. It’s quite refreshing to be told in plain English that where “habeo” is constructed with two accusatives it is likely to mean “regard X as Y” and similarly where “facio” is constructed with two accusatives it will usually mean “I make X into Y”. I’m sure FR expected me to pick that up by osmosis or subliminally.

Roma Aeterna is tough, but I now have the Loeb Classical Library Aeneid which is a great help.

. . . Let me add that this is an excellent discussion, and that the various techniques are not at odds with each other, but can be combined, particularly since some students respond better to some techniques than others, but the more angles from which we can approach it, the better.

An excellent point!
