Clip from the DVD available on our websiteWhere can you learn Latin in Surrey, BC?
8th September
Hey people, I was wondering if there is any place to learn the language Latin (not the dance!) in Surrey, BC. I need it close to North Surrey. I really would like to learn this language and every time I search it up on Google, it shows latin dance lessons.
Trinity Western is a little too far, and I am a high school student
As Latin is a dead language, you will probably have a hard time finding a class at local community centers – it’s more of a college/university thing.
Congrats on taking an interest in Latin though, you will have a much greater understanding of the English language and how words are built. If you know some basic Latin and Greek roots you can basically look at a word you’ve never seen or heard before and make a pretty accurate guess as to it’s meaning, which is super cool, and super useful!
Since you will not be speaking Latin, I don’t think you really need to find a class, I’m sure an online or distance education course would suffice.
How about starting with a free online course?
