Latin for Beginners: Internet Linked (Language for Beginners Book)

Love that this is designed for kids to learn how to use Latin in everyday life. I bought this in conjunction with the Cambridge Latin course which is more stuffy, but very good. My goal is to teach my kids Latin before they hit puberty so that when they learn other European languages, they’ll find those easier. And if they become gardeners, florists, vets, doctors or lawyers, they’ll also have an easier time translating and understanding the terms! I found it so much easier to learn other languages after learning Latin at school, it’s a win win for us!

Useful book just for beginners like us

As an adult beginner, you may not like this as a book written for children. It has bright, lively cartoons of characters speaking the same phrases that you can find in any beginners' conversational, modern language book, but in latin. But, if you want just fifty pages of simple, fun learning about how to say, for example, "do you speak Latin? Yes, I speak a little Latin", then this is the book for you. The website has some interesting extension information about the Roman world. As other reviewers have said, you won't get a thorough introduction to the language from this, but you will learn a little vocabulary and grammar. As an adult, you can have a little entertainment, and a break from the serious beginner books, and who says you can't? p.s. It is irritating when publishers advertise how you can speak the language on your travels, though. Okay use the same format as modern languages, but bother to change the advertising copy.

Grandchildren thoroughly enjoyed,I like to learn Latin too, So may purchase again,excellent item. Reasonable price.

Cartoon style illustrations show everyday phrases in use with pronunciation tips and grammar. Really good for starting out, includes rules of grammar, pronunciation tips, word lists and puzzles to help practice, links to websites with video clips and classroom activities make this a useful book for Ancient Roman projects to give a rounded view of a historical subject and in English to explore the roots of words.

Seems fairly engaging but my son didn't get past page 3 🤣

I bought this for my young kids just as a bit of fun. They pick up so much so quickly that i thought this couldnt hurt and was always something I wanted to try out. The book is bright and colourful and takes you quickly through the basics in a fun but logical way. Very happy and girls are learning latin!

This is a fun book for an introduction to Latin. I bought it for the interactive online extras to go alongside the book but sadly some of them aren't always available or work right. We have now swapped this to be an accompanying resource to Duolingo as my son prefers learning this way. I would give it 5 stars if the online stuff was better organised, presented and fully working.

Das Buch ist toll für jemanden der sich als Hobby für Latein interessiert, aber nicht für jemanden der es für die Uni braucht, da in dem Buch ein Fokus auf Konversation gelegt wird.

Excelente libro, no he encontrado nada igual para facilitar el conocimiento y la práctica del latín y sus conversaciones más elementales. Es un libro muy práctico y amigable.

It's an excellent book for inexperienced learners. It adds a lot of fun to learning, and Latin no longer looks scary, it's grammar is explained with the use of common everyday situations. Good job, the book is highly recommended!

Poroduto chegou antes do prazo, em excelente condições e muito bem embalado. Excelente material de reforço para os estudos da língua latina. Super recomendo. 😍 Obrigado.

Formidable pour apprendre aux petits latinistes de 5ème et sortir des esclaves et du maître cruel des manuels de latin. On parle, on dessine son hamster, son car, sa soeur et on s'amuse !
