ECCE. IN PICTURA EST PUELLA, NOMINE CORNELIA.

[sarah · Rating 4 out of 5]

this is the text book from which i teach. i read it every day at school. it cracks me up.... sextus est puer molestus? i mean, come ON! didnt the author know what kind of sick adolescent mind was going to be reading this? and lets not even get into uncle titus in ecce romani II who collapsus est because he was so incredibly ebrius.

this book is totally fun. you kinda have to drill the grammar into their skulls though or they begin relying on the "look at the picture and guess" strategy, which is not particularly helpful when learning to translate.

Nothing like sextus, Marcus and Cornelia and flavia :)

STOP WHY IS MY TEXTBOOK HERE

[Catherine · Rating 2 out of 5]

it would have been better if Cornelia and Flavia were in love. Or if we had an enemies to lovers thing going with Sextus and Cornelia. but no! they had to get stuck in a ditch for eternity. also, Sextus should’ve been eaten by that wolf in the woods- he was definitely the weakest link.

Loved the book. It made things easy to understand and provided me with information I retain to this day.

I loved going through this book and the second in high school latin classes, I had the best Latin teacher. I gave this book three stars though cause it is not good for highschool, it is good for jr. High. For those looking for highschool and college level latin then use Wheelocks latin.

I really enjoyed this book and the whole series. It is very easy to follow as well as being entertaining and informative.

yes, I'm still hung up on the fact that I'm using a different book this year.

Very readable after reading most of LLPSI - Familia Romana. Only a very few new words. Did not do the exercises.

7 years spent with these textbooks. Great memories.

I enjoyed learning Latin through the Ecce Romani series in high school. It teaches through immersion into the language. Starting off with short stories using only basic conjugating and inflecting and slowly builds up to fully teaching concepts. You aren't overwhelmed with data which you must learn in one chapter to go to the next.

Text book we're reading in school. It has an actual kinda-plot with characters so I'm justifying adding it.

...The only bad thing about this text book is that I learn phrases like mappa--the white cloth that is dropped to signal the start of a chariot race (yup, we were tested over that specifically at one point)--but don't know how to count to ten yet...And the year's already over...

4 stars [Grammar]
I taught this curriculum to 7th and 8th grade students. I liked it so much, I bought my own copies of book I, II, and III of the new edition coming out, even though I was leaving the school.
It is more appealing visually and pedagogically than Wheelock's, but of course cannot compete with that magisterial series's thoroughness.

[Jacob Jones · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a pretty good book to learn Latin from.Very fun and good story, and it has pictures! for what thats worth.It's too bad my highschool doesnt offer a Latin 3 class, so im using another very good Latin book to teach myself as much as possible before college in two years. Salve et vale!

[tahalia :) · Rating 4 out of 5]

Simple, and easy to understand for beginners. But I have to say; this is the most dramatic story I have ever read. Whenever you think something intriguing is about to take place, it leaves you disappointed. They were stuck in the ditch for 13 out of 27 chapters!

[Wai Ling · Rating 5 out of 5]

How would I ever have learned Latin without Sextus? Not to mention that they were stuck in a ditch for about 20 chapters. (though that was in the next book, I think)

Pink Socks!
