| Description: |
Get Started in understanding Latin. Ideal for complete beginners, this audio support is easy to download to your computer or MP3 player. |
| Synopsis: |
Get Started in Latin is the course to follow if you are taking your first steps in Latin, whether classical or medieval. Follow a Latin story set in a medieval monastery, where conspiracy unfolds in the cloisters, Vikings threaten to attack, and young lovers set out to unmask the villains. And discover the principal authors of classical Latin and read quotations from their writings.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 in the book.-Listen to the story and the classical authors on audio - to experience the sound of LatinThis MP3 CD-ROM contains Latin readings of the medieval story and of classical authors quoted in the accompanying book (ISBN 9781444174786). You can download the audio files on this disc from your computer to your MP3 player or play it in an MP3 CD-ROM player.The ideal course for a beginner, the new edition of the book 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-Lots of exercises - to practise each new point of language -Discover how Latin evolved through the centuries - and its immense impact on English "The best part of the book is its lively narrative...As carefully graded passages [the story sections] are much more useful than another collection I have used. The practice sections are excellent." Dr Conrad O'Briain, Trinity College Dublin "Absolutely THE best book for beginners."
