The Art of Everyday Latin: Part II

The Art of Everyday Latin: Part II

Use this book well and you will learn Latin in a way you never thought possible.

A superb enhancement for any Latin class, these exercises help students to "deep-process" the language in a way that most textbooks hardly begin to attempt. All aspiring Latinists should spend some time with this work.

This second part continues to offer many more short, manageable English sentences to be expressed in Latin. They are conveniently formatted so that on an ereader, a simple page turn will show the Latin equivalents. Everyday concrete objects are used for the vocabulary: cloth, gloves, buttons, tables, books, dogs, biscuits.The repetition makes for confidence, mastery, and a sense of achievement.

When you ask "How would I say this in that language?" rather than "How do I translate this set of foreign words into my language?" you have a surer way to hook the new language into your own world. You understand the target language right off as an attempt to communicate, not merely as a code to be deciphered.

This book is based on exercises taken from a famous textbook by George Adler, A Practical Grammar of the Latin Language. Ebook formatting makes it more accessible than ever. Perhaps for the first time anywhere, the answers have been interleaved with the exercises and modernized to fit contemporary usage.

The first edition has now been revised and corrected to make the English sound yet more colloquial.
