Home and School: Home and School Bk. 3 (Ecce Romani)

This book does introduce some grammar that is quite a bit harder, but it's not too difficult. I'd only actually give this book 3 1/2 stars; it's a perfectly pleasant follow on and is strangely addictive, but it just doesn't _feel_ right. :-|


This book moves on from easy latin to actual Latin   June 21, 2001

IN the first three Ecce Romani books the emphasis was on learning the vocabulary, grammar and customs through latin written for that purpose. IN ecce romani book four it still has the same emphasis but Roman writers are used. THis is very interesting for you as a reader. The layout and grammar notes are very good also.


A good book, but get a good teacher and book 1 too   June 21, 2001

This book is as equally helpful and interesting as the first book in the fascinating Ecce Romani series. It introduces even more vocabulary and grammar to the Latin reader, and still has stories about the Cornelii family. Admittedly, there aren't as many and they aren't as interesting, but the book's still OK. You still need Ecce Romani book 1, since book 2 just picks up where it left off. I can't wait 'til I get book 3 now :-)

A useful reference and teacher for the basics of Latin   April 11, 2001

I found this to be a very useful book for the first year I was learning Latin. It covers the basics of Latin with a reasonable amount of detail. I would recommend getting a good Latin teacher to go with the book, since it doesn't cover everything. But it's good if you just want to see what the language is like.
