Ab initio - lingua Latina pro tironibus

Have you ever wanted to read Martial's tales of the 100 days of games mounted at the opening of the Colisseum, Ovid's account of the ill-fated lovers Pyramus and Thisbe, Caesar's recounting of the Gallic Wars, the incomparable odes of Horace, or Vergil's epic tale of Aeneas, but in the original Latin? Maybe you just want to decipher old plaques in country churches and cathedrals. Here is your opportunity. In this group, you will be taken from the very beginning to a good understanding of classical Latin through learning the fundamentals of grammar, translating simple sentences (to begin with!) and tackling original Latin literature.
