Summary: Dr, Keller is Da Bomb!!
Review: Latin always mystified me, until I took Dr. Keller's course and subsequently studied this exceptional book. Enlightening, avoids pedantry, very relevant, very cool. A dead language? Far from it! READ THIS BOOK! Latin rocks!

Summary: Astudent of Mrs. Russell's who uses the book
Review: The book Learn to Read Latin is a great textbook for young Latin students. It teaches the language intuitively and moves at a steady pace which allows the student to understand the language. Conjugations, declensions, and other Latin syntax is all gone through systematically, as opposed to the confusing way that the Cambridge Course uses. The book also gives insight into, and information about, everyday Roman life through actual readings of Cicero, Sulla, and many other figures in Ancient Roman history. Lastly, I found that through the process of learning Latin, my ability to understand and use the English language was vastly improved. All in all, the textbook provides an excellent learning experience for anyone interested in learning Latin, whether on the beginner or advanced level.

Summary: Best Language instruction book ever
Review: This book will make you go wild with its excellence. Thorough, meticulous explanations, and an amazing format. And just when you didn't think it could get any better, the book reinforces one's knowledge of the subject with fantastic excerpts from real Latin!! Compared to Ecce and Cambridge that use outrageous vocabulary, this book provides a different approach with fuller understanding and the great focus on the grammar of the Latin language that is the essence to most languages. One can clearly see derivatives, cognates, and also get a tremendous learning experience. This is the best Latin book I've ever used.
