Learning on my own. I think the book will assist me.

Very good

Very Professional Book! My Mother Loves it!

This book does not come with the CD as stated in the description

great

There is no CD included. You go online to get the audio. Also, I have already referred twice to an old edition of the book online because of typos in this new typesetting of the book. I am starting to wonder.

Very disappointing. Long narrative descriptions of grammatical forms--why do I need to read about what endings nouns or verbs take if I can see them in the table? Long and unnecessary comparisons with English, plus explanations of English grammar. The most disappointing part is the lack of original Latin texts. The book promises original readings in the title. Instead, there are no texts at all, just random, made up sentences. Real texts (very random excerpts and chopped up fragments), labeled "Extra Reading," appear later, but they are presented in the most unattractive and indigestible form imaginable. Why are they printed in bold? I am learning Latin for the pleasure of reading Latin texts, and this book just kills it. Horrible

CDはmp3で録音したものが、１枚しか付いていません。（with Two Audio CDs は誤りです） 練習問題のヒントや回答が詳しいので、ラテン語文法の初歩から段階的に学べて、とても良い 内容となっています。また、日本語の参考書では、格変化が主、属、与、対、奪、呼のものがほとんど ですが、この本では、「インデックス式ラテン文法表」と同じく、主、呼、対、属、与、奪の順になっている ため、活用を暗記したり、英文ペーパーバックを利用する際、混乱がなく助かります。

It’s black&white throughout, not the color edition of the earlier version.

The book is complete in everything, if you want to learn Latin, this book is a straightforward must.

Right now I cannot say anything about what it likes with the content. ButI am glad that I finally received this book. It was sent in a box contenting besides the book a CD-Rom with audio-fiiles for pronounciatian excercises. Ancient Latin had a limited letter-supply and therefore special rules to pronounce them. There were no j, no k and no u in latin. Instead of this fact the letters c, i and v were used in to different ways, either as a vowel or as a consonant. But this ìs pretty good explained inside the book. Latin is an advancèd language and in the very beginning it could become dificult. But, so what, even Rome was not built in one day. So I wish you good luck if you intend to learn latin, a language that left uncountable traces even up into our ages and haven't left any importance.

Loving it
