More Details

NSA Latin 1 is a self-paced online course designed to bring new students to a reading knowledge of Classical, Medieval, and Reformation-era Latin. It is centered on readings from the Latin Bible and exercises in Latin composition; it makes equal use of both grammatical explanation and examples, so as to be effective for a wide range of students (from those who are highly mathematical to those who prefer to learn by imitation). New vocabulary and grammar are introduced through period-appropriate illustrations; Biblical passages are lightly adapted so as to correspond to the student’s current knowledge of grammar.

Future NSA Latin Courses

The NSA Latin online curriculum will provide four levels, each of which has 8 units. The follow levels are still in development:

  • Level 2: covers fourth- and fifth-declension nouns, infinitives, participles, gerunds, relative pronouns, deponents, and present-tense subjunctives. Readings progress from simplified passages from the Bible to lightly edited passages.
  • Level 3: covers the perfect verb system and the remaining three tenses of the subjunctive. Readings progress from lightly edited passages to unadapted passages.
  • Level 4: covers various remaining grammatical topics and systematically reviews all the grammar. The readings progress from simpler versions of the Bible (i.e., Biblia Vulgata) to more complicated versions composed during the Protestant Reformation.
