    Excellent Start; Needs More Editing
  

*by L***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 21, 2017*

This is the Latin book that really does go at it like a modern language; right away they do TPR, classroom words, and conversation templates. Soon after that you get colors, clothes, food—all the stuff that normal people want to talk about anyway. And the activities look pretty good.As for grammar, by the end of the book you have all the forms of the main pronouns, all five declensions, lots of uses of the ablative, and a bunch of idiomatic and irregular stuff like “operam dat” and “velle.” It does hold back quite a bit on verbs. There are only indicative and imperative forms, and only the present active until some of the last chapters. Then you get the future and perfect active, plus the present passive, all conjugations, plus irregular verbs. To me it seems like a reasonable approach—get used to the conjugations before adding anything more, just as the more reasonable books start with the nominative and accusative instead of telling you to memorize a full declension right away. And I love the idea of skipping the stupid imperfect until after the perfect. <rant>So many books want you to teach the future and the imperfect too close together, and then a bunch of students get them mixed up. Besides, it is called *im*perfect, and is defined in opposition to *perfect*—so what fool decided that we must teach it before the perfect? This way you can just tell your students that the perfect is past, instead of trying to explain tense and aspect and extra verb endings all at the same time, to learn some form that is way less useful than the simple past if you want to say real things to real people, instead of “Agricola frumentum portabat.”</rant>Despite its excellent points, it does need more work; as another reviewer pointed out, it appears to have incorrect answers someplaces. It also seems odd to have fill-in-the-blank stuff in a textbook; why not have a separate workbook? Then we can all ignore the workbook and just write out all the exercises on looseleaf like humans. But I know some other books have this fault as well. A bigger problem to me is that there is no easy way to find stuff in it—the back has no index, tables, or dictionary, and the table of contents gives only the theme of the chapter, not the kind of grammar. Anyway, I haven’t actually tried teaching with it yet; it could turn out to be interesting.In summary, it looks like a great 1st year book, with an unusually sane grammar progression, vocabulary for actual humans, and fun activities. It just needs a second edition with corrections, the fill-in stuff put in a separate volume, and a good index.[Edit February 2019]I have used this book a fair amount now. I think the best way to summarize its shortcomings is that it isn't really a textbook at all; it seems rather like all the dialogues, exercises, activities, and grammar explanations that a teacher used throughout the year, put together in one book, without any explanation of how long things should take, which words are important for memorization, or anything like that. They are excellent materials, however, and you should definitely get the book if you do spoken Latin. Just be aware that you will need to do a lot of planning work if you want to use this by itself as a textbook.

    Pretty good book
  

*by G***I on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 30, 2021*

It is good book and audio track that one can access help. One should have some basic Latin knowledge  to help use it efficiently. Some text is very small and that is one deficiency.
