Get Started in Latin Absolute Beginner Course: The Essential Introduction to Reading, Writing and Understanding a New Language [With CDROM] Paperback - 2013

The free audio for this course is available to download to the Teach Yourself Library app, or to stream on library.teachyourself.com.

The audio contains readings of the story and of the classical authors (you will learn the grammar and vocabulary in the book, not in the audio). All the Latin we are left with now are seemingly lifeless letters on a page or in stone. In its day Latin was a language to be heard: readings in the ancient world were recitals and performances - poems, speeches, histories even. So while you may not need the audio to learn the ABC of the language, you do if you want to experience and enjoy Latin to the full. And how do we know how it sounded? Find out inside.

The ideal course to learn Latin if you're a beginner, this new edition includes:
-An introduction to classical Latin authors - ancient writers like Cicero, Tacitus and Virgil
-A medieval story: a Latin 'whodunnit' - practising each new point of language
-Grammatical explanations and vocabulary support in each unit
