Latin

Nobody ever asks: why should I learn English. The reply is simple – I’ll need it to understand and make myself understood. What about Latin? Here too, the reply is simple – I’ll need it to understand what our past and our present are largely based on.

Latin is the key to understanding our culture: we look into topics which have persisted, such as: language(s), language history, language change, the gods and human beings, the here-and-now as well as the hereafter, the world of drama, art history, legal matters, philosophy, mythology and psychology, the Middle Ages and the Present.

Who should choose Latin as a major subject?

• - Those who want to know more about the above mentioned topics
• - those who like languages
• - those who consider studying languages or history at the University (Latin is an official requirement for all linguistic or historical study courses).
