Help for beginning students using the venerable Wheelock grammar book.
Welcome to the bestselling Latin course on Udemy!
Over the years of teaching Latin from the excellent and justly renowned textbook "Wheelock's Latin," I have created a series of lectures designed to help students to learn Latin online and get the most of this magnificent book. In them you will find guidance to some of the more perplexing concepts of grammar -- English and Latin -- that often comprise an insuperable barrier to progressing in Latin for modern-day students.
My lectures therefore have double-duty. They review the concepts of English grammar when you need them, and theyu help you understand how they can be applied to Latin grammar. Youâll also find guidance to the extremely useful self-tutorial exercises in the back of the Wheelock book for each chapter. Finally, I provide a complete description of how the sound of classical, silver-age Latin by modern academia.
The lectures will not replace the Wheelock text. They will only, I hope, make your on-ramp smoother. To that end, the lectures track exactly with the chapters of the textbook. This will give you context sensitive help when you need it.
You will not find answers to the exercises or anything that is copyright protected by the publisher of the Wheelock book. To get any benefit from these lectures, you must have the Wheelock text.
When youâve completed the series on the Wheelock, you may wish to check out my detailed readings and discussion of the revered Fabulae Faciles, a set of graded readers designed to help readers move from elementary Latin grammar to intermediate prose.
Finally, I also have two complete classes on the texts used by the American AP Latin exams. Theyâll be very useful for student preparing for the exams, or for advanced readers who wish to start in on Vergilâs Aeneid and Caesarâs Gallic Wars.
Best of luck to you!

Dr. Lugosch taught all areas of classical studies at the undergraduate and graduate level, and published scholarly articles on Sophocles, Plato, Aristotle, and Homer. Recently retired, Dr. Lugosch still leads small private tours to Italy, Greece, Turkey and France that explore artifacts of classical antiquity. These lectures help support his money-losing hobby farm in Kentucky where he raises organic pigs,...
Yes, absolutely. Have tried to study without taking into account these advices and have forgotten everything I thought I learned and now I'm back to square one.

VERY GOOD COURSE. WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
I found this online course to be as good as an in-person class. His explanations add to the book's, and the course is making me do the exercises in the back of the book - which is really helpful. One problem I have is downloading the PDF files. When I do, it always comes out in computer code, and I can't read anything. What am I doing wrong?

Speaker is way too tentative, sounds like he is not sure himself about pronunciation, makes statements then backtracks. A good teacher should show no indecision in what he/she is saying. Can still be friendly, conversational, but not what I hear here.
