Lingua Latina — The Language of Rome, the Church, and the Vulgate Bible
Latin is the language of Rome, of Western law and scholarship, and — through the Vulgate — of the Bible as it was read, copied and taught across Europe for over a thousand years. It is also the Church's own liturgical language, still heard in the Mass, in canon law, and in the Church Fathers. Alongside Koine Greek (the language of the New Testament) and Biblical Hebrew (the language of the Old Testament), Latin completes the third leg of the biblical languages available at Study Language Academy — giving serious students of Scripture and Church history direct access to Jerome's Vulgate, the Latin liturgy and the patristic tradition.
At Study Language Academy, this course is designed for Pastors, seminarians, theology students, Catholic and Orthodox clergy and laity, classicists, homeschool families and anyone who wishes to read the Vulgate, the Latin liturgy or classical Latin literature in the original. All instruction is delivered online via live classes, weekly lesson notes and one-on-one instructor feedback — accessible from anywhere in the world.
Progress at your own pace from complete beginner to advanced. Each level ends with a graded examination and an official certificate upon passing.
