Do memories of your grammar lessons haunt you and other textbooks overwhelm you? Then Teach Yourself Beginner’s Latin is for you. Follow a Latin story set in a medieval monastery, where conspiracy unfolds in the cloisters, Vikings threaten to attack, and young lovers set out to unmask the villains. Sample some classical Latin too, and learn more about the authors who wrote it.

Teach Yourself Beginner’s Latin is ideal for complete beginners because it introduces the language step by step through an interesting and humorous story. Each unit contains grammatical explanations and vocabulary support. There are plenty of exercises to practise each point as it is introduced and help you remember what you have learnt.

Two accompanying cassettes or CDs are available separately or in a pack with the book. The recording contains the story and the ‘Living Latin’ sections of the book, and will enhance your enjoyment of the poetry and give you an idea of what Latin sounded like.

George Sharpley, the author, is Director of MultiLingua language school in Bristol.
