In Detail:
Rich, Advanced Latin and Greek Help
Their mission is, and I quote: “To provide readers of Greek and Latin with high interest texts equipped with media, vocabulary, and grammatical, historical, and stylistic notes.”
And I would say it fulfills its mission.
The number of texts available are limited but varied, so it’s enough for a student to get a good assortment of Latin and Greek training. From there, with stronger reading skills, there are other websites.
Incorporating Audio and Visual into Advanced Latin and Greek Help
What sets DCC apart from some other resource-heavy sites is the inclusion of different media. It isn’t just primary texts and commentaries. It isn’t even just dictionaries and grammars.
There are also an assortment of images, video, audio files providing a different learning experience that isn’t easily found elsewhere. Even in classrooms not a lot of us like to say Latin aloud…
Advanced Latin and Greek Help In Multiple Languages
But perhaps one of the greatest feats is the inclusion of other languages in the Core Vocabulary pages. How often does anyone see a Latin dictionary with Chinese? Or Romanian to Greek?
It’s an amazing contribution to Classics, and I can’t wait to see it grow.
