After more than 10 years devoted exclusively to English language, this course have returned to teach Latin to a group of 4 º ESO. I have to admit that at first I was too lazy ... "I would remember the declines? What was a deponent verb? ... But it must be that things are like riding a bicycle, you are never forgotten, and as the days went by we were all more comfortable (they and I) with the language of Virgil.
At the end of the quarter we made some observations to see how it went the course. There have been students who have found it very useful, but most was glad to study "something so old and so hard." At one time all stroke is clicked, the Latin is a challenge, a return to slow, to the rough, stone. And
"verba volant, scripta manent" written left here for posterity.
"I was delighted to learn where it comes from our language."
"It was interesting to learn a language declines. In a letter can change the entire meaning of a sentence."
"M ª José ... I decided to study classical philology." "I never would have imagined it would come to know Latin."
"It is interesting to study a language not spoken."
"I think America, if I serve in the future."
"I signed up for Latin because I thought it was easier than technology or physical. I really do not know why I thought that ... I do not think it reasonably well".
"Al end ... I am sorry to stop studying Latin. " Total
, which I took a taste and hope that another course back on hours to the classics (I think it's going to be no) to return to the "studia aeternae tongue."
anyone read our contemporaries within 2000 years? Virgilio you can bet it is.
