LATIN PRIMER 1

Over half of the English language is derived from Latin amateur amo I love MontanaA mons mountain patriotA patria native land spectacular specto I look at muralA murus wall These and thousands of other words we use every day keep this deadlanguage a language of kings and poets of scrolls and secrets alive And this means that when we study Latin were not just learning about Rome were learning about ourselves Rediscover this timehonored language which led classical education pioneer Dorothy Sayers to declare that Latin should be begun as early as possible when the chanting of Amo amas amat is as ritually agreeable to the feelings as the chanting of eeny meeny miney moe In Latin Primer 1 Martha Wilson equips elementary school students grades 3 and up with a solid foundation in classical Latin Newly revised and expanded this text covers the very basics vocabulary for everyday concepts like farming sailing the human body constellations and family verb and noun endings and other beginning grammar concepts This updated teachers edition includes new teachers notes weekly quizzes and a full glossary Those of you familiar with the older editions of Latin Primer 1 are probably wondering whats different about these new editions To begin the content and teaching approach of this third edition is fundamentally the same as before We have added a few exercises moved some of the vocabulary around etc but these new editions wont force teachers or parents to struggle through a long period of adjustment If anything this new edition will be much much easier to use
