Two-week online intensives in Latin and Ancient Greek

Ayeleta is a great teacher and created a perfect productive atmosphere for the lessons. She was very supportive, she explained and repeated stuff as many times as it was necessary. This summer school was a wonderful time for learning. I enjoyed the programme and the style of the lessons. Of course, studying Latin in Latin is not that easy but it was a great challenge. After that, you feel way more certain in your knowledge and start to understand the structure of a language way better.

I am a Catholic seminarian, and after studying Latin for a while using the grammatical method, I became capable of reading fluently some texts such as the Vulgate, the Summa Theologiae, etc. However, I was unable to write or speak in the language, nor could I read more complex texts without the aid of a dictionary. With a short time of exposure to the active method, through the classes at Oxford Latinitas, I have noticed incredible progress in this regard. I intend to continue my studies to the most advanced level, confident that I will achieve the expected proficiency. In Brazil, my country, I am doing what I can to share with fellow students the advantages of the active method and the excellence of teaching offered by the teachers at OL. I confidently advise everyone: if you want to learn the language with greater efficiency and speed, Oxford Latinitas is the way!

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.

As a teacher for a long time, I was always motivated to get the light turned on in the faces of my young students. I was in that same situation as I began my study of Ancient Greek. I struggled at first and was on the verge of dropping out. My teacher, Alexander Olave, met me on my level, inspired me to keep on working, and showed me the way to competence. The directors, the administration and the instructors far surpassed my expectations. I hope to continue my studies here far into the future.

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.

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

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.

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.

There are not many teachers who are capable of teaching at such a high level directly in Latin. If I want to learn how to teach Latin in Latin myself, I need to hear and see it in practice.

I feel like I have learnt more Latin during this term with Oxford Latinitas, than in a year of high school lessons. I wish the method used by Oxford Latinitas will be introduced in all schools. I have studied Latin many years ago with the traditional method and I was a little sceptic at first, but I am now so impressed by the results.

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!

Worth every penny.
