Description
Praised by teachers for many years, this format is now easier to manage. Passages are carefully controlled to use only vocabulary and syntax already taught and tested. Reading-skills instruction and translation help prepare students for second-year Latin. Twenty lessons formerly in Level I are now at the beginning of Level II, thereby providing better overall pacing.

A very no-nonsense, old-fashioned Latin textbook. Accompanied by a workbook. Preferable to the Oxford Latin Course in that it introduces all six declensions immediately, then focuses on simplified sentences. Contains a decent Latin-English/English-Latin translation dictionary in the back.

Local notes
DAK - Andy's own text book. Lots of comments at front and end, beginning with: "Latin is a dead language, dead as it can be. It killed the ancient Romans, and now it's killing me!"
