I read it from beginning to end, I get to add it to my reading goal.

I think this textbook basically bumped off the Oxford Latin Course of the 80s and 90s, at least at Oxford....

Not the greatest
6/10

While Classical Latin eventually teaches all the basic grammar concepts, it does so in a rather inefficient order.

It also contains a large amount of animal vocabulary (you can judge if that is good or bad, I thought it was strange), and contains innumerable drill exercises filled with pigs.

In later chapters, drill sentences sometimes do not fit with the chapter material.

I guess the University of California sticks to the 1970s
and doesn't do silly things with piggies
