Product Description
Product Description
"Key to Advanced Latin" provides answers to the exercises that form a substantial part of our new Latin language textbook, "Advanced Latin: Materials for A2 and Pre-U", which is being published simultaneously (ISBN 9781853997297). These exercises consist of: 24 translation/comprehension exercises, based on passages taken predominantly from Livy, Caesar and Ovid. These match exactly the requirements of A2, but the passages work equally well as unseen for those working towards Pre-U. Six further passages are offered for unseen translation only, and finally there are 12 passages of continuous prose for translation into Latin.

I was hoping this might be a companion to 'Advanced Latin: Materials for A2 and Pre-U' but it seems like a rather lazy way of attempting to make more sales, in my opinion. It does not provide answers or mark schemes, rather it provides translations (and not always translations that are literal and true to the original Latin) for the passages. This is of limited use to either pupils or teachers. If questions have been created (as in the first book) then the answers should be given as then pupils and teachers know what the author of the questions expected. Considering that Stephen Anderson was involved in the writing of both books, one suspects that he is well aware of what the author (himself) was looking for when setting the questions, and could therefore, structure the companion book accordingly.
Nevertheless, the translations are vaguely useful (although I believe most of them are available on the internet for free and can be found with a quick Google search) so I have given this two stars instead of one. However, I must be honest and say that had I known the content of this book prior to purchase, I would have saved my money as it offered me nothing that I could not either create for myself or find easily on the internet.
