Came in condition as stated, helped my son through the class, but not so much for the testing.

Latin for Americans unwieldy and outmoded

Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2006

I am a Latin teacher, using Latin for Americans because it is what my school has. It uses the Grammar-translation approach. It is an attractive book, but leaves much to be desired. Because the grammar and vocabulary are introduced slowly, the stories are stilted and inane, on the order of "See Spot Run." The kids just groan when an awkward phrase comes up. It does not present the example of good CLassical Latin until the second book. It is not until the second half of the first book that the kids can begin to know what Latin is about, and they are held back by the grammar, and conversely, the lack of grammar keeps the book from saying much interesting. The vocabulary is not on the page where it is introduced, necessitating much flipping back and forth. There are an insufficient number of drills and practice exercises to absorb the lessons. The accessory matierials, the workbook exercises are helpful, but too long and the kids tire of them. The tests are totally incompetant. They are hard to grade, too involved and too long. I had to create all my own tests.

Another fault I find with this text is that there is no continuity in the stories. Unlike other books where the students get an emotional investment in the characters, and want to find out what happens next, most of these stories are not connected.

While it is possible to teach using this textbook, there are many others far superior both in method (reading method is preferred today) and in cultural content.

Two and half starts, it just doesn't teach Latin. It has a short paragraph and grammatical concept and expects you to understand with little practice.

This book was the one I had used in my High School Latin class and I'd hoped I could find it again. My goal was not to become fluent in Latin, but rather to relearn how to read and write in Latin a bit. "Latin for Americans: First Book" is exactly what I needed to begin that goal!
