Does anyone have these junior texts on hand? I'd appreciate it if I could borrow them... I need to take the crash course again so I can hit the classics section at Abbeys once more.

Aside: one thing I have on the entire Latin crew is being able to read the entire Greek script (among many others). So, if you give me the Oddysey I can tell you what it says!

(just not what it means)

Too bad he's not like me. He could go into the apathy phase. So much easier to get things done! :D

ok well here's what the arts handbook says for beginner's latin
LATN 1001 Latin 1.1
6 credit points. Dr P Watson. Session: 1. Classes: 4 lec & 1hr tut/wk.
Prohibition: LATN 1101. Assessment: One 2hr exam, and exercises,
assignments and tests (equivalent to 2,000w).
Latin 1001 requires no previous knowledge of Latin. Normally
students who have completed the HSC (or equivalent) in Latin
are not admitted. The aim of Latin 1001 is to provide students
with a foundation for acquiring a basic knowledge of the
language. It caters for a wide variety of students, ranging from
those who intend subsequently to proceed with Latin, to those
who wish to have a background to their studies in other subjects
in which a knowledge of Latin is valuable or indispensable for
example ancient history, classical archaeology, English, modern
foreign languages, and medieval literature, philosophy and
history.
Intending Honours students: Latin 10011002 students who
are thinking of taking Honours in Latin should consult the
Department during the year.
Textbooks
Study materials can be procured from the University Copy Centre. A
small or medium-sized Latin dictionary is recommended too (see under
Latin Language Study).
LATN 1002 Latin 1.2
6 credit points. Session: 2. Classes: 4 lec & 1hr tut/wk. Prerequisite:
LATN 1001. Prohibition: LATN 1102. Assessment: One 2 hr exam, and
exercises, assignments and tests (equivalent to 2,000w).
Latin 1002 takes further the basic grounding of Latin 1001. It
caters for a wide variety of students, ranging from those who
intend subsequently to proceed with Latin, to those who wish to
have a background to their studies in other subjects in which a
knowledge of Latin is valuable or indispensable for example
ancient history, classical archaeology, English, modern foreign
languages, and medieval literature, philosophy and history.
Intending Honours students: Latin 10011002 students who
are thinking of taking Honours in Latin should consult the
Department during the year.

small or medium-sized Latin dictionary is recommended too (see under
Language Study).
so itd probably very different to hsc latin :|

you'd study different texts, but the essential grammer is still the same

Well DUH, Grammar doesn't change with context of study in dead languages. :p

I want to do Latin at Uni... I've said this before, haven't I...


My point is, you won't really get a better chance to continue what you started in year 7.

I thought USyd (and UNSW?) were the only places to offer Latin, not just at a basic level in Sydney...
