An innovative introduction to the study of grammar for all those studying a language other than English. The course covers, week by week, a series of topics in what we know as traditional grammar. Students become familiar with examples from English; then they study the same phenomena in Ancient Greek and Latin.

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

1. Demonstrate an understanding of traditional grammar as it applies to English, Ancient Greek, and Latin.
2. Translate short sentences into and from Ancient Greek and Latin, drawing on a small vocabulary and using a number of basic - and some more sophisticated - grammatical constructions.

This knowledge may be readily transferred to other languages.
