Two full-immersion Latin programs for summer 2010
Jennifer Nelson
SALVI (Septentrionale Americanum Latinitatis Vivae Institutum, or
North American Institute for Living Latin Studies) is proud to
announce two exciting summer programs for 2010: Rusticatio (July
18-24) and Iter Romanum (July 1-8).
------
Rusticatio, July 18-24, 2010, Charles Town, West Virginia
Rusticatio is a week-long, full-immersion Latin workshop offering
high-energy conversation exercises and readings from Latin literature.
In an intimidation-free environment crucial for progress in a second
language, participants live together for seven days while they speak,
read, write, cook, and relax -- all while communicating entirely in
Latin. Through a variety of exchanges, including instructional
sessions, a common kitchen, daily shared tasks, down time, and
excellent food and wine (which are abundant and included in the
price), Rusticatio participants enjoy unparalleled camaraderie while
they experience first hand various teaching methods that are directly
applicable to secondary and university Latin classrooms.

Iter Romanum, July 1-8, 2010, Rome, Italy
Iter Romanum is a unique, week-long, full-immersion tour of Rome --
tantum Latine! We will tour Rome's sites -- ancient, medieval,
Renaissance, and modern -- read excerpts from Latin literature,
discuss what we see, read, and hear, and listen to our distinguished
tour guides (mystagogi) as the show us around the fascinating city
known as "caput mundi" -- all while spending the week living,
performing all of our tasks, and holding all of our conversations in
Latin only. Each day will be structured around a visit to an
historical site in or around Rome. Possible destination sites (subject
to change) include: Roman Forum, Palatine Hill and Circus Maximus,
Domus Aurea, Colosseum, St. Peter's Basilica, Vatican necropolis and
the tomb of St. Peter, Vatican Museums, Villa Borghese, and Ostia
Antica.
