Latin classes start Wednesday, July 15 at St. Anne Church in San Diego. Open to homeschoolers, parochial and public school students, and adults.
Beginning class will start at 8 am (after 7:15 Mass) Wednesdays, intermediate at 9 am. Beginning level will use Lingua Latina, part 1, intermediate will use Jenney’s First Year Latin. No charge for classes.
(Some students in the past attended both classes, since the methods and material are different.) We will include Latin prayers, hymns, and parts of the Mass. Questions? Text or call (619) 565-3434 or email jholman@sdreader.com. If you leave your contact information, we will send you updates, information on textbooks.
Lingua Latina is church Latin, pronounced as you hear at Mass. The Jenney is classical Latin as used by Caesar and Cicero, with 2-3 main differences in pronunciation from church Latin. The Jenney has a fuller explanation of the grammar and vocabulary. Lingua Latina is more oral and expects you to pick up vocabulary and grammar by hearing Latin.
Will send recorded files for Lingua Latina to those who contact us.

Beati erimus, qui linguam Romanorum discere poterimus, etiam liberi. (Et illis Missa antiqiour haud displicet).
Sed vivant, versis pollicibus invitis.
Euge!
Here’s how google translated that:
«Sed vivant, versis pollicibus invitis.»This translates to: “But let them live, with thumbs turned, even against our will.” It is a poignant, slightly bitter philosophical twist on the famous Roman gladiatorial demand for death (pollice verso).
“Vivant” can be indicative. : “But they live, turned thumbs notwithstanding”.
Vivant can only be subjunctive. Vivunt is the present, indicative, active. One vowel makes a difference.
Concedo. :)
