Basic Latin
Study Group (2-3 session | This program is completed
Why study a dead language? Latin is not a dead language, merely an ancient one. It echoes through the English and Romance languages that are still used around the world. It permeates architecture, art, and literature. Its own linguistic artifacts -- the narratives, the poetry, history, myth, theology, medicine, and countless other genres of literature -- still hold vast knowledge that continue to shape our world.
Join Joshua Bland, Minister of Discipleship at First Church of Springdale and Latin instructor for junior and high school programs, as he leads participants at OLLI this fall in a three-session introduction to this beautiful language!
- This three session program will meet in person at the OLLI office, located at 211 E. Dickson Street, Fayetteville, AR.
