5.0 out of 5 stars Nice book to learn Latin in Latin!, February 4, 2009

My son (14) and I (48) are using this book. You notice how you advance in understanding Latin. Exercises are pertinent and helps you to check if you got the idea or not. We have three books: Pars1, Execitia and Answer key. You can check your progress and test yourself. I guess it could be more difficult without the answer key book.
It's a nicely edited book, written to help you to understand.

I love Lingua Latina, and I love the workbook. But I only gave it 4 stars because there ARE a few mistakes in the workbook, and it is missing an answer key (sometimes... u just REALLY wanna know if you're right...). Overall, though... I would still recommend it to anyone.

This review is from: Lingua Latina: Pars I--Exercitia Latina I (Pt. 1, No. 1) (Paperback)

Great book for everyone because it teaches Latin in Latin.

What I like it most is the fact that you learn the language as a live language, and not only by reading classic authors from an ancient era.

But on my study I keep changing from Lingva Latina and Gramatica Latina (Prof. Napoleão Mendes de Almeida, in Portuguese), because sometimes I think it is better to know why you are doing or saying the language in a particular way.

In Lingva Latina, first you learn how to speak, for later (and for me too later) learn why you say that way.

Buy Lingva Latina and get satisfied up to the last cent you paid it.

---- PT-BR -----------------

Se você quer aprender latim falando latim, esse é o livro. Lingva Latina é um livro de latim todo escrito em latim. Se você não está interessado em ter outro idioma servindo de elo de união entre você e o latim (nem mesmo sua língua mãe), então é só comprar.

Eu só não gosto do fato de muitas vezes ele ensinar o como falar sem explicar o porquê de falar assim. Por isto eu sempre fico alternando entre ele e a Gramática Latina do Prof. Napoleão Mendes de Almeida, que é a melhor gramática em português que você pode encontrar. Está a venda na Livraria Saraiva.

Lingva Latina vale cada centavo gasto nela. Bom estudo.
