Customer Reviews

Homeschoolers will love this!

I am currently teaching Latin to homeschoolers using this series. It is a great step-by-step Latin text book. We only get together once a week for an hour. We find it fun, interesting, and well put together. The worksheet masters truly help to round out the books!

a good coursebook

Sometimes your reviewers surprise me. I see someone has given this series one star. It's hard to understand why. My son and I have both been using it (as a new learner in his case, as someone who learned Latin a long time ago and has forgotten it in mine) and have both greatly enjoyed it. Its direct-method approach to the language, introducing the grammar bit by bit, is fine and an easy way in. And the general background material is well put together. Warmly recommended.

Understanding + Complicated

This book is the best out of the other Latin learning books. It clearly states what to do, how to do it, and when to do it. Since I'm a teacher at Franklin Learning Center High School, we use Cambridge books in all of my classes. So, I highly reccomend this book for beginner learners.

A good review

This series almost entirely bases its learning technique around translations, introducing new grammar concepts as they appear in the readings. This is a very different approach from most languages, but for teaching Latin, it is a very effective one. If you are getting back into Latin and familiar with the rudimentary concepts I would recommend starting with book 2. For beginners, book 1 is a must- I promise it's worth it. It's fun to read and easy to follow along with. I am looking forward to learning from book 4 in this series.
