[Fish]PHIL 2400 - Introductory Latin 拉丁入門

This course aims at introducing Latin as a tightly constructed language which has influenced the Western civilization for millennia.
Drilling sample sentences, declensions and conjugations, proverbs and vocabulary will be required, in order to experience the Roman mentality and logic.
Students are expected to broaden their cultural horizon and obtain a deeper understanding of the mechanism of human expression through speech.
