Build a solid foundation in Latin with a practical, beginner-friendly course.

This complete first-year program combines an Outline of Latin Grammar with progressive reading and writing exercises, plus frequent sight-reading practice. It’s designed to move learners smoothly from basic forms to connected Latin prose, preparing them for Caesar and other classic authors.

This edition offers a clear, step-by-step path through key grammar, with carefully graded exercises and ready-to-use vocabularies. It emphasizes understanding and applying Latin syntax, not just memorizing forms, and includes direct practice in reading at sight to build fluency and confidence.

An introductory grammar overview that aligns with practical Latin usage
Progressive reading and writing exercises that steadily increase in difficulty
Selected passages from Caesar to illustrate real Latin prose style
Directions for reading at sight, along with helpful notes and vocabulary

Ideal for students beginning Latin study, teachers using the author’s Latin Series, and anyone seeking a thorough, hands-on introduction to Latin grammar and reading.

Recommended for readers of Latin textbooks and courses that aim to teach both grammar and reading through practical, incremental practice.
