A practical, beginner-friendly Latin course in one volume. This classic text combines grammar, Delectus, and an Exercise-book with vocabularies, designed to help students learn by using language in simple sentences from the start. It aims to fix core forms in memory and build real reading and translating ability.

The work treats grammar and usage in a way that pairs explanation with immediate practice. It emphasizes learning by heart the vocabulary tied to each exercise, reading aloud in class, and gradually accumulating useful words. A second part is planned to extend reading material and support transfer to larger Latin authors.

Two-part structure: grammar and exercises with a built-in vocabulary for quick learning.

Hands-on practice that reinforces declensions, conjugations, and key syntactical ideas.

Vocabulary aligned to each exercise, plus alphabetical indices for quick reference.

Guidance on using the book to prepare for broader study of Caesar or Virgil.

Ideal for beginners and early learners who want a solid foundation in Latin grammar, syntax, and practical translation skills.
