Learn to read like a Roman read rather than decode or decipher the Latin. Comprehend the text as it is being read. Speed read and increase your comprehension at the same time. The techniques are simple; the advantages are obvious: more Latin can be read more easily and with greater comprehension.

By using the Fluent Latin Approach the circularity of students having to translate a text into English in order to find out what the Latin means, and then using the translation as a basis for comprehending and appreciating the author's implications, allusions and nuances, is avoided. These aims, which can be used with both beginning Latin students in middle school and high school and continued with college Latin majors, can moreover be attained without overlooking the proper claims of grammatical study.

This Fluent Latin Program will be limited to 25 participants. This program is designed to introduce teachers (middle and high school as well as university faculty) to this highly successful, commonsensical and workable method for teaching Latin. During this five day intensive/interactive program, Professor Hoyos will explore the following topics:

(1) Basics Reading Rules for Fluent Latin
(2) Problems of Latin vs. English word-order
(3) Word-groups as foundation structures
(4) Sentence structures

(7) Analytical sentences and Paragraphs
(8) Teaching and testing fluent reading skills without translation
