I have never been formally exposed to latin in my schooling so
this tight little reference book of every day latin words, phrases,
and expressions has helped with my reading where footnotes are absent.
Of course you can find Latin translations now on the web with actual
pronounciation provided, but i still value my little book.

I've always been enchanted by Latin and never learned it. This is my go to book for phrases and words.

3.5 stars. Would recommend it as lightweight reference material.
