Cambridge Latin Course Book 4 Student's Book 4th Edition: 04

I used these books at school in the 70's ( I say books but they were actually a large number of single stage booklets) but really didn't get much from the experience. I started relearning latin in May and used a lot of intensive courses, which got my grammar up to spec very quickly.BUT the Cambridge course is marvelous, very vocab based, and that is probably the most important aspect of a language. (You can't say much with grammar, but much with words)Syntax is dealt with in an effective and not over fussy way, just enough for the student to be able to read the texts. The series is aimed at secondary school students which is evident from the written style of the background information into the Roman way of life etc it's still very enjoyable for older students, either as a course per se, or as an enjoyable simple reader. I also bought the discs directly from Cambridge, my bedtime listening. My only negative is that two weeks after buying books 4and5, I lost them on a train between London and Liverpool. I was devastated. I don't live in the UK and will have to wait quite a while until I'll be able to replace them. The texts are available on the Cambridge latin course site. Online activities, but it's not the same as having the book

The Course is clear and concise, and the stories are interesting and never boring. Hopefully, this will prove to be a good and easily assimilated Revision course for the Latin I did at school so many years ago!

The Cambridge Latin Course cannot be recommended highly enough. It is well laid out, fun, clear, and thorough. There is an index of vocabulary at the back and the grammar is dealt with clearly and fully. Each chapter ends with three or four pages of the life and times in the Roman era - anything from the army, Society, customs, Rome, etc giving valuable background to the story line earlier in the chapter. My husband is endeavouring to teach me Latin using this series and while I am not the sharpest tool in the box we are having fun and it keeps out brains active in retirement.

Great book, great course. I'm using it to revise the Latin I did to O'Level a long time ago, and it's taking very competently to that level again, and beyond. Very interesting information about Roman world, and lively, story-like content. Thoroughly recommended.

Been around for 40+ years but still the best Latin primer around.

I am a Latin student and this book was necessary for my course.

The book was in the "good condition" I would expect from this description, and it was fairly priced and delivered promptly.

This Latin course, books 1 - 5 is extremely useful and interesting. Good for classwork or for working alone. Thoroughly recommended.

Das Buch ist kurzweilig. Es ist spannend und es ist eine Lust darin zu lesen. Es ist eines aus einer fünfbändigen Reihe. Die Reihe in der dieses Buch erschienen ist kann jedem empfohlen werden der Latein lernen will oder die ihr Latein auffrischen will. Allerdings braucht man Englischkenntnisse dafür aber das macht wenig denn bekanntlich sind rund 60 Prozent des englischen/amerikanischen Wortschatzes lateinischen Ursprungs, das geht vom "Computer" über "Office", "Virus", "Program" zu "Internet", alles Latein.
