Product Description

Synopsis
This volume should appeal to anyone who has never learned a language before or who does not feel confident enough to tackle the "Teach Yourself" complete course. It provides a step-by-step introduction to Latin that should be easy to follow from start to finish.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for complete beginners -easy step-by-step teaching, 2 Jan 2002
By Ms. D. C. Davidson (Skye, Scotland, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Beginner's Latin (Teach Yourself) (Paperback)
This is the best beginners' guide I have yet come across - particularly for adults. it is simple yet thorough and humorous illustrations help to keep the attention focussed. For anyone about the do the Open University "Reading Latin" course it is a godsend. Pity the accompanying tape is not on offer by Amazon. I got it as a Christmas gift but without the tape.

3.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive basic course, plus monks and mules!, 14 Jun 2002
By A Customer
This is probably as easy as Latin's ever going to get! A basic understanding of the language is useful, especially if you're doing a degree in any subject, as most technical terms stem from either Latin or Greek. Every chapter has a little grammar and a little vocabularly, plus some rather bizarre stories about monks and mules! There are lots of exercises and self-tests, making self-teaching quite straightforward. Besides this, there's a Latin-English and English-Latin translator (although this is not very comprehensive), verb tables, and answers to the questions. Besides that, there is lots of interesting stuff about the Romans and various literary figures who wrote in Latin. If you want to learn Latin, and don't know where or how to start, this book is the best starting point. By the end, if you persevere, then you should have a good grounding, and some idea of how to go on if you want to. But it's not exactly fun, and of course, there's not that much incentive, since it is a dead language.

4.0 out of 5 stars Latin Without Tears, 20 April 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Teach Yourself Beginner's Latin (Teach Yourself Books) (Paperback)
This is one of the least painful introductions to Latin that I have seen. It doesn't assume any knowledge of grammar terms, and it doesn't dump whole declensions in your lap in the first lesson (unlike most of the other Latin textbooks lining my shelves). If you ever thought that Latin looked too frightening to tackle, this is probably the book you want.
