Customer Reviews

The absolute BEST Latin text series ever!

I have been a Latin teacher for 18 years, and I have used the Cambridge Latin Course for ten of those years. If you want your students to learn to read Latin, this is the book for you. If you are teaching Latin in the IB (International Baccalaureate) Program, don't even consider using another text. CLC features a continuing story line with the wine-drinking, dining-room- inhabiting "hero" Quintus Caecilius Iucundus surviving the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius and traveling to Greece, Alexandria, and far-off Britannia, then to Rome where he assists in the prosecution of the evil-doer Salvius for forgery. Students like the stories so much that they read ahead to see what is going to happen next. While rote-memorization of forms is not emphasized, grammar is still taught both directly and intuitively in this series. Sadly, the workbook for Unit 3 is not as good as the textbook.

Great for vocabulary, culture, and grammar

I am a second year Latin student and have been using this course. It provides an intruiging plotline and teaches grammar, culture, and vocab along the way. Unfortunately, I often find that I don't know something that other students, who use a different text, do. This is a problem at certamens and other competitions.

Student: Learned a lot from this series

I am a latin student whom has been studying latin for 3 years and this series is a great, new way of looking at latin. I, personally, found the weaving story immensely helpful in my education of Latin

Great Book section

Hi, I am taking Latin. I took it in eighth grade and found the adventures of Caecilius and Grumio and Metella and Clemens and Quintus, (book 1), and the further adventures of Quintus and Clemens along with Barbillus and Petro and the astrologer (book 2) very, very amusing and interesting. I was sad to find out my highschool did not carry on the series. So I took it upon my self to continue my education. I assure you, all Latin speakers/readers should read these books, no matter what.

Good Book

I am a Latin Teacher and my students learned so much this year under this books guidance.P.S. I am not an actor
