Are you ready for better Latin?
NEW for LATIN groups this Spring:
We can't guarantee our method suits everyone but if you've ever found yourself forgetting some of the word-endings in Latin and that has been a stress then here is a new method that meets you where you are and takes you further into Latin with gradually increasing ease.**
*Here is what one English priest, and Latin Mass Society bursary holder, wrote recently:
I began Latin with Matthew because I wanted to say Mass in the Tridentine Rite. I had some knowledge of the language since I had studied Gwynne's Latin, a book which follows a traditional grammatical approach with an emphasis on memorisation. Matthew's teaching is soundly grammatical too but it is based on dealing with texts so that grammatical issues emerge in the course of reading them through. The texts are taken from the Church's tradition and have ranged from bits of Augustine and Aquinas to the orations and rubrics of the Roman Missal. They provide the material for the online lessons. These can be quite challenging because Matthew does not let his students get away with glossing the meaning of words and phrases! But such an approach yields its rewards in a deeper understanding of the language. From this work, Matthew provides targeted follow up lessons on particular grammar points which are very effective in fixing them in the mind. As a result of participating in Matthew's courses over the past three years, my confidence in handling Latin in the liturgy has increased and as a result I feel a much greater sense of belonging to the Catholic Church, the Church of the Latin rite, than I did before.
If you are a member of the Catholic clergy or a religious or if you are in training please contact us directly (at happylatin@the-pages-of-latin.com) to discuss bursary options.
