While the first course in Latin is an introduction to the Latin language for general students, Latin II, on the other hand, is specifically aimed at those students who want to pursue the study of Latin at a university, to use it as a support for advanced study of the Romance languages, or, ultimately, to satisfy their language requirement at a higher level. Latin II focuses on serious, thorough consideration of the grammar and syntax of the language, as well as its historic and linguistic contexts, and also includes some exposure in depth to Roman culture, and also to classical civilization at large.
