Karen's review
Wheelock's Latin, 6e by Frederic M. Wheelock
Latinam amo. Hic liber mihi latinam docet. Librum igitur amo.
I’m sure it’s not perfect, but it’s tried and true. And it’s cool. No other language textbook in the world has taught me to write things like, “Ira mea est magna,” “Infinitus est numerus stultorum,” and “Otium sine litteris mors est.”
I like the explanations, I like how the exercises are arranged, and I appreciate the illustrations of classical art. My only complaint is that the "Latina est gaudium - et utilis!" sections are a bit corny at times, but they can also be illuminating. I look forward to the day when I have time to finish this book.
Rock on, Latin!
