Latin Primer 1, Student Text

Over half of the English language is derived from Latin.

•amateur--amo, I love
•Montana--mons, mountian
•Patriot--patria, native land.

These and thousands of other words we use every day keep this "dead" language-a language of kings and poets, of scrolls and secrets-alive. And this means that when we study Latin, we're not just learning about Rome-we're learning about ourselves.

Designed for students in grades 3 & up, this workbook will equip students with a solid foundation in classical Latin. Divided into 4 seven-week units, students will learn conjugations, present/future/imperfect/irregular/future perfect, and passive verb endings, as well as demonstrative pronouns and other helpful Latin grammatical and vocabulary terms. Worksheets provide room for chart completions, translations, derivative identification, and additional review exercises. Newly revised and expanded, this book covers the very basics of farming, sailing, constellations, family and body vocabulary, as well as verb and noun endings.
