Course content
No prior experience with Latin is assumed. Accordingly, the chosen approach takes into account possible individual predispositions, including experience with modern languages. Naturally, it also considers the mother tongue. On the other hand, it is important to perceive the Latin language as a distinct system with its own logically constructed structure. Therefore, it is necessary to precisely master the basic grammatical rules, both in morphology and when working with phrases and sentences. Latin is referred to as a general support for language study, as a foundation for both general and specialized terminology, and its significance and importance for improving both stylistic language use and more generally formal-logical thinking.

Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to provide a basic insight into the structure and morphology of the Latin language. Mastery of basic lexically grammatical rules should enable work with simpler Latin sentences for their translation and interpretation with an understanding of the content. This requires not only the use of a Latin language textbook but also working with dictionaries and grammatical guides, mastery of selected vocabulary, and necessary familiarity with standard procedures when working with Latin text.
Basic orientation in Latin expressions, terms, and phrases. Ability to arrive at the translation of simpler sentences.
