No matter what age you are or what grade level you are currently studying at, 51Թ is here to offer multiple approaches to Boulder Latin Lessons that could be just what you need to supplement your language learning. Many education institutions locally, as well as around the country, require students to learn a second language as part of their curriculum. Other students voluntarily choose to learn a language like Latin in order to benefit personally or professionally in the future. You could be a freshman at Boulder High School or Fairview High School, a graduate student at the University of Colorado - Boulder, or anything in-between. You could even be an individual attempting to learn Latin for non-academic reasons. Whatever the case, one of the best ways to develop your language skills more quickly is with additional instruction outside of the classroom.
While Latin is considered to be a "dead" language, there are still many reasons that students choose to study it. It was the precursor to the Romance languages of Spanish, French, and Italian, among others. As such, much of the terminology in fields like law, medicine, and scientific research is based in Latin. You may not find Latin very useful when traveling or when attempting to communicate with people in other countries, but because the Romance languages developed from Latin, it can be beneficial to learn Latin before attempting to learn any of those.
You could be just starting out with your Latin language program and struggling to nail down the basics, or you could be having trouble keeping up with your classmates as the instruction moves into more advanced concepts. 51Թ offers two distinct styles of lessons to choose from that each has the potential to boost your confidence and skills with the material. Depending on your personal learning style, you can decide if you would rather work with a Boulder Latin tutor or in a group class environment. Either way, assistance is never too far off. If you choose private instruction, whether it's online or in person, we can connect you with an independent tutor within 24 hours. New sessions of group classes begin each month, so you can find an approach that works conveniently with your schedule.
What types of things can Boulder Latin lessons help me to better understand?
Because many English words come from Latin, English speakers often find the language rather easy to absorb, but there are still many challenges. Inflections used in Latin are much different from those that native English speakers are familiar with and can drastically change the meanings of words and sentences. There is also a lack of pronouns as verbs themselves tend to show who is performing the action. Participating in lessons outside of normal class time can help you to nail down these basic concepts.
One of the difficulties when learning any language is how rarely you get to experience it. When you are only speaking, hearing, reading, and writing Latin for small portions of each day, you may not be getting enough practice for the language to become second nature. Taking part in the lessons offered by 51Թ can benefit you simply by exposing you to the nuances of Latin on a more regular basis. Things like pronunciation and pluralization come much more naturally the more you get to experience them.
What are the differences between the two types of Boulder Latin lessons, and what are the benefits to each of them?
The two major types of lessons offered by 51Թ each have distinct pros and cons. You can decide which approach best suits your learning style. Some individuals even choose to combine the two approaches for a more well-rounded experience.
When you take part in a group class, you will be participating in a setting that is familiar in many ways to the instruction you have likely received for the majority of your academic life. You will meet with your instructor and your fellow classmates to collaborate on discussions and activities that can provide you with fresh perspectives on the material. One facet that may be new to you is the fact that your class sessions will take place entirely online, meaning you can access the virtual classroom from anywhere that you have an internet connection. This approach allows you to work as a group to discover ways to practice Latin most effectively and efficiently. You also have the opportunity to get some one-on-one instruction from your teacher.
If that is the type of personal learning environment that you prefer, you may be better off signing up to work with a Boulder Latin tutor. Experienced private instructors have the ability to plan study sessions with you, either online or face-to-face, that fit into your already busy schedule. They can work to evaluate your strengths and weaknesses with the material before devising lesson plans that focus on the areas where you need the most improvement. With this approach, you are not asked to work at anyone else's pace or spend time on concepts that you have already mastered. Your Boulder Latin tutor can also address your personal concerns and provide you with feedback on your progress. This approach allows for the most flexibility and instruction that is customized to your needs.
Each of these methods has its own benefits, but you can choose which one fits better with the way you learn best.
How do I begin the process of signing up for Boulder Latin lessons?
Regardless of if you are participating in a foreign language program for personal, professional, or academic reasons, developing fluency can be a great boost to your future. When you are attempting to accomplish something with the potential to be this important, there is no need for you to do so all by yourself. If either type of the Boulder Latin lessons offered by 51Թ sounds like it could help you master the language more effectively and efficiently, feel free to reach out to our educational consultants today. They are standing by to get you signed up for the option you choose or answer any possible questions you may have regarding our services. You don't need to continue struggling through your Latin learning program alone. Contact us online or by phone to get started with the assistance you need.

...and social sciences. I received four consecutive gold medals on the National Latin Exam when I was in high school, so I am eager to help students who are struggling with the subject. I also specialize in the areas of English-language writing, grammar, and reading comprehension. I have wanted to be a teacher from a rather young age, and I am grateful to have the chance to help dedicated students to achieve academically.... Respect and inclusion are paramount. Students must treat one another politely and sympathetically, and students should be treated as responsible individuals. Further, while education is based on the passing on of knowledge, allowing students' interests and learning styles to inform a curriculum can lead to success in the classroom.
