Latin lessons for beginners or less advanced: better understand the interest of the language and its history

Translated using Google Translate. Click to view original.
Latin is often described as a dead and useless language. But you should know that it helps to better understand the French language. It is also a very interesting language to study! As a student in the Preparatory Class for Literary Grandes Ecoles, I do a lot of Latin and can therefore help to learn and revise Latin lessons in addition to having a lot of practical exercises. I hope through these courses to bring you a certain interest for this language. The Latin language is also not just about grammar, conjugation etc... It allows you to discover the history of Ancient Rome through many very interesting texts to study!

About Me

Translated using Google Translate. Click to view original.
My name is Paul, I am currently 18 years old and I am in higher education in a Preparatory Class for the Grandes Ecoles in literary studies. I offer courses because myself in college and high school I had certain difficulties with certain subjects and that is why I offer tutoring courses to help other students who would have the same difficulties as me previously. My lessons are not just lessons, they are support and I even remain available by email or telephone outside of class hours if the student has additional questions for me. I have already given lessons to some little brothers and sisters of friends but never to strangers and that is why this experience could be rewarding both for me and for the student.
During your life, the use of the language will be a very important point, both in your personal life and in your professional life. I then allow you to get interested and learn more in depth the French language and the English language that I study a lot in my Preparatory Class for Literature. I will lead you to better understand certain texts, to use more appropriate language formulas to place in your dissertations, your CVs or even your cover letters. I can also help you with the hard, but interesting subject of philosophy! If you have trouble expressing your ideas in philosophy or creating a philosophical problem, I could help you find food for thought, tips for doing homework etc...

Ask a question

Send a message explaining your needs and Paul will reply soon:
The more detail, the better.
Ex. "Hi, when are you available to meet for a lesson?"

I am passionate about languages and the study of translation (version / theme). I studied Latin and English throughout my schooling and during my studies in preparatory literary class.

I am currently teaching Latin and English to undergraduate students in Literature at the Sorbonne. I am very focused on the practice of the language, the exercises and the translation, which are a guarantee of efficiency and discipline.

This course is aimed at anyone wishing to learn or relearn the Latin language, progressively access literature, history, philosophy, ancient sciences, and approach Latin culture.

Learn Latin for school / university / exam with FUN and passion
I studied Latin for 6 years (high school and university) and read the works of (among others) : -Ovidius -Virgil -Horace -Civero -Catullus I assign homework and after I receive it, correct it thoroughly additionally providing a lot of remarks/examples if they are necessary. During my lessons I use : - Skype/Whatsapp/Messenger to connect with you, - Google Docs to keep notes, which you can check at any time and they are yours to keep, - sketch board me to make mind maps to show connections between ideas, etc. - books, PPP, word docs, diagrams, pics, etc. I adore my profession and desire each and every one of my students be satisfied with the lesson. That's why I make sure the atmosphere is stress-free and nice. I also want my lessons to be as effective as possible. Therefore, I make sure they are well-prepared, although they can be altered at any point, should such an opportunity arise. I like explaining things in a variety of ways as well as make use of dictionaries, diagrams, etc. When it comes to students who want to sit an exam, I am very demanding. What can I teach? - I can prepare you for exams at school / university. - I can help you with assignments / HW. - I can help you with translations / commentaries / grammar / syntax.

Ian
Living Latin through Comprehensible Input (Contemporary and Medieval Latin)
You will learn Latin the way it was meant to be learned - through conversation! Medieval scholars and contemporary language researchers alike advocate the use of dialogues and comprehensible input for language acquisition, and it most certainly works! As opposed to the "memorise grammar rules and then babble them in front of the class" approach that was demonstrated by the infamous "Romanēs eunt domus" scene from Monty Python's "The Life of Brian", you will learn to feel the grammar, so that you will be able to use the different cases of Latin without even thinking about it, just like a native speaker! For this class we will be using the following books, depending on the learner's level: Hans Øreberg's "Lingua Latīna per sē Illustrāta" "Corderiī Colloquia" Erasmus Rask's "Colloquia Familiaria" John C. Traupman Conversational Latin for Oral Proficiency I will be the collocutor and I will answer the learner's questions and explain certain oddities solely in Latin (I will use a second language only when the situation calls for it) We will also engage in free-form conversations, discussions of the dialogues, of our life experiences etc so that the learner can apply what they learn to real-life situations and expand their vocabulary

Carlotta
Latin tutoring for secondary students (Dutch / Latin / German / English)
Salvē, my name is Carlotta and I have 5 years of experience in tutoring. These now take place in Leuven, where I live in a room, as well as in Maldegem, where I come from. Since April 2022, I have been taking courses in Latin language acquisition at the Schola Latīna, an Italian private school that uses the comprehensible input (CI) method. This means that all classes are taught exclusively in the target language, allowing me to not only translate Latin, but also speak and write Latin. Since no Flemish school expects active language skills, I will of course not do this during the lessons ;) In practice the same problems always return: difficulties with translation, difficulties with memorization of sequences and vocabulary, lack of motivation or fun. When such a fantastic profession is experienced as difficult, it is only logical that motivation also drops. Whatever the problem, Latin itself is a perfectly feasible subject. I also tutored mathematics and noticed that students only have fun when they are no longer struggling, which is what we are working towards :) My goal is to be less needed as quickly as possible by learning and practicing strategies. When you contact us, please state the year the student is in. I provide extra customized material! Cūrā ut valeās, Carlotta

Ben
Latin and Greek for beginners. Help for high school students.
These classes are primarily intended to support secondary school students. Translating together, looking at grammar together - those are the things we can do in class. I prefer to teach classes in the evening or at the weekend. I'm really trying to help!

Clément
Private lessons in French - Latin - History - Methodology - English
Hello, I am an experienced French teacher in upper secondary. I am used to helping and supporting students or adults in difficulty. Moreover, I graduated from a master's degree in French and Romance Languages and Letters at the Free University of Brussels and holder of an AESS aggregation in French as a mother tongue. I offer a French course with a particular and personalized follow-up. Indeed, the course will adapt to the learner's requests by identifying his gaps in the chosen subject and by creating a learning path adapted to his needs. The course can either respond to a specific request on a subject or a specific objective to be achieved, or aim to improve the overall level of French, both in terms of reading comprehension, oral comprehension, written expression or oral expression. The follow-up can also offer a course aimed at developing general culture (whether literary or artistic). I can also help you with basic mathematics, English, Latin, writing a CV or a cover letter, writing a job, advanced use of Word, Powerpoint, Scribus or Gimp software. Finally, I can offer you research advice or general methodology. Appointments can be one-off or structured as a constant follow-up for a given period. I remain at your disposal for any possible question,

Cogito ergo sum. La bellezza della lingua e letteratura latina
Nel latino risiedono le radici non solo delle lingue romanze, ma anche della cultura europea. Imparare questa lingua e la sua letteratura può essere una sfida estremamente arricchente ed entusiasmante. Le mie lezioni mirano ad offrire gli strumenti per tradurre e apprezzare al meglio i testi latini, sottolineando come parole e strutture latine sono tutt'ora vive nelle lingue moderne.
