Latin 3-4 is a year-long course that continues the grammar and translation skills developed in Latin 1-2.  Students MUST have had Latin 1-2 to enter this course.  Students will not only be using Ecce Romani as their main text, but also Daimon.  Students are highly encouraged to purchase their own Latin-English dictionary to help with these translations (I would suggest Cassell's Latin-English Dictionary).
 
I look forward to an exciting year working with all of you & thank you for helping to expand this Latin program at BHHS!
