Latin 1 Tutoring FAQ
Latin is a historical language, which was initially spoken in ancient Rome and its surrounding areas. The language grew in influence as the Roman Empire spread across the globe. Today, Latin is considered a dead language because it no longer has any native speakers. However, it is still often taught to students at a variety of grade levels. The language is still important despite not having native speakers because of its historical significance and its influence on many of the most commonly spoken languages in the modern world. However, Latin can be a challenging language to learn. If you'd like some extra help with your attempts to learn Latin 1, then you may want to consider working with a Latin 1 tutor.
