Product Description:
What's preventing you from teaching Latin in your homeschool or learning it on your own? If you're intimidated because you've never studied Latin, bewildered by traditional Latin books that move too fast, or just don't know where to begin, then Getting Started with Latin is for you! Specifically designed to overcome these types of obstacles, Getting Started with Latin is divided into simple lessons that explain the fundamentals of Latin grammar in a way that anyone can grasp. Instead of burying you in mountains of information to memorize, new words and concepts are introduced in a gradual and systematic way. You can immediately apply what you've learned by translating the fun exercises at the end of each lesson. To hear the words pronounced, simply download the free MP3 files from www.gettingstartedwithlatin.com. Quickly check your work by turning to the included answer key. With everything you need here in one book, why aren't you Getting Started with Latin?

Great job Mr Linney
English is not my first language so I can feel how it looked like to start learning a new language, MOTIVATION
And the way to motivate me?
Telling me something interesting. I don't want to start with apple or tree. Well, Getting started with Latin started with nauta, stella, maybe some of the most beautiful words in the world to me.
Don't let me guess like Rosetta Stone, that's not my way of learning, why just show me the word ... Read More

First: IGNORE the bad reviews of this book. The reviewers did not understand what this book is supposed to do and that is to introduce the TOTALLY oblivious to Latin so they can test themselves on whether or not they want to go further.
Second: All the FIVE stars speak for themselves. This IS the book that has allowed me to pursue Latin further and start to read Caesar and Cicero.
I am homeschooling Latin now, thanks to Linney.

I thought long and hard about writing a negative review for a book that has garnered nearly universal praise. But just because something 'feels good' doesn't mean it's good for you or will do much to help you.
Working through Linney's book 'feels good' because you don't have to put forth much effort. Unfortunately, when you're finished, you will also not have much reward.
The book consists of a limited vocabulary of Latin words, presented one per page, and interspersed with ... Read More

My wife and I have begun using this Getting Started book, teaching each other, as it were. We're both instructional designers -- I'm a tutor as well -- and our hats are off to the author! I've written instructional, home-study books (SAT, AP Bio, etc.), so I know a bit about what's involved. He's done a fantastic job.
We're about a third of the way through GS, and we are just thrilled with it. Can't wait to finish and start the online course: lectures based upon another Latin textbook.

I have a Ph.D. in English and am currently homeschooling my 7-yr-old son. I looked at several texts for teaching him Latin. I prefer this one b/c it is a simple yet systematic approach to learning the language. The sequence progresses clearly, logically, and manageably. The audio downloads provide clear, effective support for the lessons (they just repeat the lessons, but sometimes my son likes to listen to Linney rather than me!). One doesn't need any Latin background to use this book. I highly recommend ... Read More
