Latin Builds Fortitude by Challenging Students

Luke Brown · Latin · October 21, 2026

Latin 2

Students took on a whole new verb system this week, learning the perfect tense on Monday, then the pluperfect and future perfect on Wednesday, with a tense timeline to help them see how the tenses relate. As the material gets more difficult, students must exercise fortitude to face the challenge.

Ask your student: What are the different tenses in Latin, and how does the perfect tense differ from the pluperfect and future perfect?

Latin 3

Students began Cap. XII on Monday and finished it on Wednesday, then took home the chapter’s Fabella and began studying for the Cap. XII vocabulary test. It takes steady fortitude to keep up with a increasingly harder material.

Ask your student: Will you read your favorite chapter to me?
