Quid est Latina?
I asked some students what they like about Latin, and what they get out of it.
"Mythology, history, tenses" -Erin
"Learn about history - an interesting language - and there's candy"
-Charlie "It gives me discipline." -Natalie
"Helps with English grammar" -Sam |
"Bragging rights" -Sam
"Interesting, but also with great knowledge--Fun!" -Abby
"English roots - Cool stories - Slaughter - Caroling - A fun experience" -Rex
|
"Skills to break down words" -Joel
"Every bonus question on a quiz ever" -Reed |
"Phrases of the Day, fun facts about Roman culture, Roman insults" -Nika
|
"Everything is based off of Latin" -Willem
|
"I have enjoyed the Phrases of the Day, along with the translations, which have opened my eyes to see the history behind the stories."
-Xzavia
"Greek and Roman mythology are really fun to learn about, and Latin helps you learn English words and their roots faster."

"It expands my ideas of what life was like thousands of years ago."
-Dylan

"I came into Latin in 6th grade thinking for sure I would go back to another language the next year. That was not what happened. About a week into Latin I learned the beauty of discovering hidden clues in words to figure them out, in both Latin and English. I think Mr. Beyer teaches very well and makes class fun and keeps me well prepared."
