11-week online terms in Latin and Ancient Greek

Very engaging sessions, pitched at a challenging but accessible level; well-paced, very interesting selection of material; I learnt a great deal from Renatus' correction of errors and comments on the text, as well as the invaluable time spent on composition at the beginning of many of the lessons. Well organised and friendly; an excellent programme.

I really liked the way Ivan taught us. The effort he made every time someone had a question so that we could fully understand was very helpful to us. He seems to love his job. The classes were very useful for me because I studied Latin for 2 years, but I didn't have the basics of the language, because I had missed it in the beginning and now I can say that I love Latin, because of the Summer Schools.

I loved the active method for learning Latin. It has really helped me see the language in action and understand the sources in my research in a way that makes them come to life.

Oxford Latinitas offers exceptional classes at affordable prices. Their patient and knowledgeable instructors will support your Latin journey from your first spoken words to advanced seminars. Their classes quickly became the highlight of my week!

The classes were excellent: rigorous, informative, and challenging. I very much enjoyed the classes, and learnt a great deal, but I found them very challenging. … But the difficulties were outweighed by the benefits of the lessons – I cannot believe how much Cicero I read in a fortnight!

Daria has been a wonderful teacher; I couldn't have asked for a better experience learning with her! I studied Ancient Greek under her tutelage for two consecutive terms, and over that time felt a major growth not only in my language skills, but also in the confidence to communicate in Greek.

Renatus showed extremely amiable as well as significantly demanding approach I surely enjoyed, engaging us in multiple philosophical and general conversations fully in Latin that were crucial for activating our grammar and vocabulary in speech to a higher extent. Moreover, I am eager to thank him specifically for his willingness to check, correct and improve our essays in order to clarify and amplify our writing skills.

This is definitely the way to learn Latin. What a difference from my old school days!

Pierre did an excellent job teaching us Latin I in the two-week intensive. He brings deep knowledge of the language, but beyond that is friendly, entertaining and patient. The materials were well structured, the exercises effective, and I liked how we did so many of them together live. I really feel like I am on the road to being able to read and speak Latin.

«Women-only seminar» with Dr. Melinda Letts not only increased my understanding of the ancient authors, but also gave me the opportunity to discuss a number of important subjects (love, grief, consolation, hatred, and so on) with other great women. I was thrilled to be a part of our little team, to immerse myself in Latin studies, and to make contact with such wonderful women. I want to return to Oxford Latinitas to study in the future!

The course has really helped me increase my knowledge of Latin and be unafraid to try and communicate with it. I think it has complemented my previous attempts to improve, using this natural approach and I completely recommend it.

The beginning Latin course exceeded all my expectations – it was both intellectually rigorous and tremendously fun. I plan to continue my Latin studies with Oxford Latinitas with the immersive program in Rome.
