Become a bona fide master of Latin
English vocabulary owes a great debt to Latin, ergo you already know many Latin words and phrases. Now you can move beyond the status quo and learn this classical language. With Latin Demystified, nihil obstat (nothing stands in the way).
Beginning with an overview of Latin, basic pronunciation rules, and a discussion on the differences between inflected and analytical languages, Latin Demystified covers key grammar fundamentals such as nouns, verb forms, and syntax. You'll build your Latin vocabulary with essential words and phrases and quickly master this challenging language. Test yourself at the end of every chapter for reinforcement that you're fast on your way to reading and understanding Latin.
This fast and easy guide features:
- Clear and straightforward explanations of Latin grammar fundamentals
- Numerous examples of simple and complex sentence structures
- Full coverage of Latin noun declensions and verb tenses
- Helpful writing exercises
- Quizzes at the end of each chapter to reinforce new material
Simple enough for a beginner, but challenging enough for a more experienced student, Latin Demystified is your shortcut to mastering this complex language.

Latin demystified is an excellent book for either those who want to learn Latin as a beginner or for those who want a reference book to clarify points of grammar. The author describes in detail and with examples complicated grammar rules but keeps the text easy to read. I think this book is an excellent and up to date way of learning and keeping up with Latin.

I studied Latin up to A Level some 7 years ago now; I used the Cambridge texts and, now brushing my Latin up for an Open University course, thought a different textbook would take some getting used too. Thankfully, this wasn't the case!
The book is simple, clear, and easy to understand. I would recommend it for raw beginners and those returning to the language alike.

Ok, just had to show off . Nobody can demystify Latin. Latin is dense study matter. This book gives it a shot, makes passing Latin seem possible. Read more

Although I don't like the layout of the book, I must add that the layout of the book is as it should be: given the type of book which it is. Read more

Latin Demistified demistified
If you have, like me, lost your Kelly's Primer this is a great substitute. In fact it is a good deal better than good old Kelly's in that it explains rather than just informing. Read more
