Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Too trendy!I am only give it a couple of stars for the insight into life in Pompeii and the lovely pictures, but I do not think it is that great for learning Latin. I am teaching Latin to my daughter and we started of with this book. She did not do very well, although she was keen to learn. We now use the more traditional "So you really want to Learn Latin", published by Galore Park, which is brilliant - lots of exercises, with the grammar taught in a logical order. You go straight into 4 tenses ...

Great on context and culture - but light on really the useful practicalities of grammar and syntax. Great if you want trendy educational ideology - (well, in a nostalgic 1970's sort of way) but if you want to learn Latin...give this course a miss and go for something useful than Metella's latest hairdoo. Rating: - Brilliant way to learnIn my quest to learn Latin, having been disappointed by other books, this was recommended to me by a friend. After reading the positive reviews on Amazon I decided to buy it. I was not disappointed in it at all. This was exactly what i was looking for in a book: It had stories to translate that focussed around one family so there was a familiar thread to them. Sometimes it even has (although in a very 'learning is fun' way) humour. It had a gradual increase of vocabulary, giving ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
