This is a Latin reading course for students who are ready to spend time with authentic Latin prose, but still want support along the way.
In this course, we will read selected passages from Seneca slowly and carefully, with attention to both language and meaning. Seneca is one of the most rewarding Latin authors for intermediate students: his prose is clear and memorable, with great use of sententiae for punchy points of wisdom. Some questions he explores and we will explore are the following: How should we spend our time? What does it mean to live well? How should we face fear, anger, grief, friendship, study, death, and change?
This course is designed for those who perhaps are just getting into their spoken Latin journey and want to engage with it in a low-pressure environment focused on listening with participation in the chat box. It can also be for those who cannot attend classes but would like to be able to listen to Latin reading every week.
Designed for those with prior Latin experience (roughly two years of college Latin). All materials are provided; pricing for this listen-only format is 50% of our interactive class rate.

Recording & Privacy (please read)
Sessions will be recorded for enrolled participants and may be edited and packaged later as asynchronous materials. Our intent is to capture only the instructor’s audio/video/screen; however, technology isn’t perfect, and your name, chat messages, or voice could be incidentally captured if you choose to participate.
By enrolling, you consent to this recording and use. To avoid appearing in recordings, join with your camera off, stay muted, and use a first name/initials for your display name. If you have a privacy concern, email us within 72 hours of the session and we’ll make reasonable efforts to redact before publishing.
