Nice But Not for New Students of Latin The layout of Barron's Latin Grammar is perhaps the best part of the book. It's attractive and not crowded. The information is also efficiently presented.NOT FOR NOOBSIn my estimation this isn't a book for someone just learning Latin. The brevity of explanation will probably not be enough.FOR MORE EXPERIENCED STUDENTSStudents who already have a grasp of the Dative usage and who know or once knew their 'Monebo' from their 'Monebam' might find this a great resource to refresh their understanding, and/or bring themselves up to speed on
This brand-new textbook for students of classical literature presents a comprehensive summary of Latin grammar, vocabulary, and sentence structure. Students are introduced to nouns in all genders and declensions, verbs in all conjugations and tenses, vocabulary, and bilingual passages that demonstrate classical Latin sentence structure. This book presents students with a very useful complement to their studies of classical Latin texts, such as Julius Caesar's Commentaries on the Gallic Wars, the poetry of Virgil, and other literary works from the bards of ancient Rome.
