demonstrate knowledge of
- deponent and semi-deponent verb tenses

What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?

The course consists of translation, grammar instructions and grammar exercises with a high level of student interaction (individual, pair and group work). Students are expected to do the homework regularly, check the resources uploaded on Google Classroom and participate in oral classroom activities. Homework will require approx. 2-3 hours per week.
