The aim of this free course is to enable you to get started on learning Latin in a fairly leisurely but well-focused way. It has been developed in response to requests from students who had had no contact with Latin before and who felt they would like to spend a little time preparing for the kind of learning that studying a classical language involves. This course will give you a taster of what is involved in the very early stages of learning Latin. Along the way, you will learn some Latin words, master the pronunciation of Latin and explore the links between Latin and English. Importantly, too, you will gain a basic understanding of how Latin works its grammar and sentence structure and gain a useful impression of what learning Latin actually involves. The material which follows is designed to be studied in small sections. In all, it will probably take about 810 hours to work through. But even if you have only a small amount of time available, you will find it useful to work through the early sections and familiarise yourself with some basic grammatical terms.
This OpenLearn course is an adapted extract from the Open University course A276 Classical Latin: the language of ancient Rome .
After studying this course, you should be able to:
- understand some of the main links between English and Latin
- pronounce Latin words confidently
- have an understanding of basic English grammar in order to recognise and describe the way languages work
- unravel basic Latin sentences.

If you have studied classical literature in translation, at the OU or elsewhere, you will be used to the demands of extensive reading of set books, note-taking and preparing essays. However, the tools of the trade for learning a classical language are somewhat different, and you will need to develop new skills, of which the most basic are actually the most important, since they underpin everything else that you do as you progress your studies in the area.
To study Latin successfully, students typically find they need to develop a study pattern suited to their lifestyle and to the demands of this type of language learning. Little and often is best; however, you may not be able to set aside an hour or so each day. This course will give you the opportunity to try out various study patterns and find out which suits you best.
You will also be able to find out which aspects of language learning come easily to you, and which seem more difficult or more time-consuming. For example, some people find dealing with grammar difficult. Others may worry about memorising words, although with practice many people find that they can develop techniques to help with this. As you work through this material, you might like to experiment with different ways of learning vocabulary for example, writing out the Latin words and/or saying them aloud; thinking of English words which are derived from, and therefore similar to, the Latin words you have learnt; using flash cards; getting a friend to test you; recording vocabulary items and listening back to them; or a combination of these strategies. If you can set up the habit of learning just a few words each day, you will benefit enormously.

Although Latin is not the direct ancestor of the English language, as it is of languages such as Italian, French and Spanish (the so-called Romance languages), it has nevertheless given us an enormous number of English words. According to some estimates, around half of all English words come from Latin.
