Part of the Learn Latin series
See all formats and editions

When we see any piece of writing in Latin, it always looks familiar to us. This is because it is the root of most European languages in use today, and also shares common roots with many Asian languages by virtue of their common origins in Proto-Indo-European.
And yet, it is difficult to master the meaning of a Latin passage completely, unless you have the training. Some words are difficult, and some phrases and grammar rules have fallen out of favor in the daughter languages.
That is exactly why this book will be of great use to you. You will be able to learn eighty percent of the Latin words that are frequently used in any of the great classics that were written in that language. This will also enable you to acquire a head start in any online Latin course, so that you can concentrate on the grammar and on sentence construction, rather than on the vocabulary itself.
Good luck!
