An Inductive Latin Primer

Excerpt from An Inductive Latin Primer The english-latin Vocabulary included in the Latin Method has been omitted in this book because it is very difficult, if not impossible, to induce beginners to learn from the text the words and usages required in writing the english-latin Exercises, if the Vocabulary is so conveniently supplied. To those who wish it, however, an english-latin Vocabulary will be furnished by the publishers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Students new to Latin will want to begin here, as Martha Wilson sets up the framework for learning Latin from a classical, Trivium-based approach. Latin Primer I focuses primarily on the memorization of vocabulary and noun and verb endings (declensions and conjugations), and basic grammar is touched on. This workbook is intended for one year's worth of study. Recommended for grades 3 and up. Classical pronunciation. Consumable. 27 lessons.

Featuring a traditional, grammar-based approach, A New Latin Primer offers beginning students a solid overview of Latin grammar, syntax, and vocabulary. It provides concise, straightforward grammatical explanations and illustrates them with unadapted Latin examples so that students can learn from Roman authors how to employ the syntax under discussion. Each of the thirty-six lessons contains twelve short practice sentences along with fifteen passages of unadapted Latin from a wide variety of important classical and medieval authors: Catullus, Vergil, Horace, Ovid, Martial, Caesar, Cicero, Livy, Sallust, Tacitus, Augustus, Seneca, Pliny the Younger, Pliny the Elder, Augustine, Bede, inter alios. Explanatory notes and definitions of unfamiliar vocabulary appear immediately below the passages. All of the passages in a single lesson are tailored to one or two aspects of Roman culture or history, demonstrating how the study of Latin provides first-hand access to the texts that shape our understanding of the Roman world. Ideal for use in introductory courses, as a self-study volume, or as an intensive review, A New Latin Primer is accompanied by a Student Workbook and a Companion Website that contain a variety of drills, additional practice sentences, translation practice, and word games. An Instructor's Resource Manual is also available to adopters.
