Product Description
Product Description
The First Year of Latin is the product of practical experience in the classroom. It aims in the most direct manner to prepare the pupil to read Caesar¿s Gallic Wars. While a general survey of the essential features of the Latin grammar is made, only those parts are emphasized which are needed. With few exceptions the words and phrases are taken directly from Caesar¿s War with the Helvetii, and by their frequent repetition a sufficient vocabulary is established to simplify the reading of Caesar in the second year. Special attention is given to reviews. At short intervals a lesson is made up of questions on the new forms and constructions of the lessons immediately preceding it, together with a repetition of the new words and such sentences of Caesar as will be used later. The earlier review lessons contain sentences for sight-reading, based on the review vocabulary. In the later lessons connected passages covering chapters 1-12 of The War with the Helvetii replace these.

A clarification
27 Jan 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The text is an open source textbook dating from the early 20th century. This is not a bad thing, but don't expect the graphical and layout niceties of a more modern text. What makes the book worthwhile is the free online Latin lectures associated with it (http://www.linneyslatinclass.com/).

Great!

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have all sorts of Latin grammar and theory books and this one is one of the best. It is easy to understand and grasp the ideas right at the start.
What helps one learn is that Mr. Linney - latin online teacher - uses this exact book and goes through it chapter by chapter. For all of those that want to learn Latin and are serious about it, buy this book!

Warning - Follow-up on Getting Started with Latin
5 Nov 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This review is a warning to those of you who intend to use this text with William Linney as the text for "Linney's Latin Class." I finished "Getting Started with Latin" early last year and was delighted with the whole program. I was very happy to discover that William Linney had a more advanced course. I bought this text and began the lessons with Linney's on-line audio to help and correct. By last May I had come to the end of Lesson 28 which is as far as Linney had gone. Now it's November 2010 and he has only completed 5 additional lessons - in 18 months. He has had one excuse after another as to why he hasn't finished the book, but at this rate it will take him 10 years to finish it. He should just confess that he is in over his head at this point and tell his students to find another teacher. I don't think it is a legitimate excuse that the lessons are free. He bills the course as Linney's Latin Class. He should have had enough pride and professionalism to complete what he started.
