Synopsis

A practical path to reading Latin with confidence and clearer grammar.

This guide introduces beginners to Latin through a structured two-part approach that emphasizes real reading and practical parsing.

The book presents Etymology and Syntax in a way that makes grammar feel less dry and more relevant. It shows how to study words, inflections, and rules by applying them to actual Latin sentences, with notes that help readers see how language works in context. The edition follows the traditional Eton plan, pairing grammar with a practical dictionary and exercises to build memory and understanding.

• Learn a clear, step-by-step method for reading Latin aloud and analyzing sentences
• Practice parsing and construing with exercises designed for early learners
• See how nouns, verbs, and other parts of speech interact through examples
• Build confidence using a practical approach to inflection, syntax, and vocabulary

Ideal for students beginning Latin, as well as self-learners who want a focused, traditional introduction that connects grammar to reading.
