Are you looking to learn Latin in a way that truly makes sense? Daniel Pettersson, M.A., a seasoned Latin educator with ten years of experience teaching across Europe and the US at both private and university levels, offers a refreshing approach. Unlike traditional methods that can leave learners translating endlessly and struggling to grasp the essence of the language, Daniel champions a method focused on direct understanding.
He treats Latin as the living language it once was, and still can be. Daniel himself actively speaks Latin and engages with Latin texts without resorting to translation, a testament to the effectiveness of his approach. He even delivered a talk entirely in Latin, demonstrating his fluency and commitment to bringing the language to life.
Reflecting on his own journey, Daniel recalls the initial challenge of reading Latin directly during his university studies. It seemed an unattainable goal, despite centuries of people before him mastering this very skill. This realization sparked a quest for a better way, leading to the development of his successful Latin Learning methodology. Now, he teaches, reads, and speaks Latin with confidence and ease.
Latinitium, Daniel’s platform, is founded on the powerful belief that anyone can learn to understand Latin as Latin. The key ingredients? Strong motivation, a well-defined method, and engaging learning materials.
Latinitium’s core objectives are to:
- Provide clear pathways to succeed in learning Latin.
