Salvete! : a first course in LatinBook 1

A First Course in Latin is an introductory Latin course in two highly-illustrated, large-format books, complete with a detailed teacher's guide.

It will provide pupils with enough Latin to enable them to take up the Cambridge Latin Course with ease.

To this end, the vocabulary and grammar are being tailored to match Unit 1 of the Cambridge Latin Course.

It will also provide detailed information and project work on the Roman World, which will be of interest to all learners, regardless of whether they will continue with Latin.

The storyline in the course is therefore mainly carried in the English background text and not in the Latin.

The content and structure of the course provide inexperienced teachers, most of whom will not be Classics graduates, with a guided programme of basic work in the language and culture of the Roman Empire in the first century A.D.
