En savoir plus sur le livre
This book teaches Latin in a vibrant, engaging way, filled with colorful illustrations, humor, and quirky characters. It's designed for kids but is also perfect for college students intimidated by Latin. Forget tedious conjugation charts and dull dialogues featuring Roman farmers; instead, enjoy scenarios with a lazy Roman school kid, a mischievous teacher, a unicorn, and barbarians. Stress is marked in multi-syllable words, making pronunciation easier. For curious adults, this book serves as a gentle introduction to Latin, beneficial for understanding English vocabulary—up to 90% of multi-syllable English words derive from Latin. Basic Latin knowledge also simplifies learning Romance languages like French and Spanish. The book includes playful spoken Latin for kids to enjoy, but the focus is on recognizing and using Latin roots, prefixes, and suffixes in English, as well as understanding Latin terms in law, medicine, and science. Grammatical concepts are presented with illustrations and exercises, covering noun cases, verb conjugations, and commonly used irregular verbs. Vocabulary development includes modern English words related to Latin terms, along with Latin expressions for memorization. Practice sections feature translations and engaging texts, including famous mottos, sayings, and excerpts from the Latin Mass.
