Description
Salve! Here’s your opportunity to overcome those ablative demons and build confidence in your Latin skills in no time without driving yourself crazy.It’s hard to understand the Latin language without a mastery of the ablative case. There are 5 major cases in Latin and 2 minor cases. More than 1 noun in every four, however, is in the ablative. The problem is there are more than twenty different uses of the ablative, some of them signifying very different things. Not only that, there’s not always a preposition to help narrow down what that ablative ending is trying to tell us.That’s where this course comes in. We start by separating the uses of the ablative into three different “relationships,” which derive from three separate cases from an earlier stage of the Latin language. By tracing back the individual uses to these earlier cases, we can understand more clearly how and why they mean what they do. We also look at which prepositions go with which of the three relationships, and also when to use them . . . and when not to use them.By the end of the course you’ll have a much firmer grasp on the various uses of the ablative. More importantly, you’ll find that all the various prepositions and other details open up nuances and deeper meanings that you didn’t see before. As a result, you’ll not only have greater competence and confidence in your translation skills, you’ll get more enjoyment from reading the work of Latin authors.This is my first Udemy course, but I have a lot of experience teaching Latin. I’ve taught in traditional schools, both public and private, for over three-and-a-half decades. I was also an instructor in an online school for many years.
