When we study Latin, we’re not just learning about Rome—we’re learning about ourselves. Rediscover this time-honored language, which led classical education pioneer Dorothy Sayers to declare that “Latin should be begun as early as possible … when the chanting of amo, amas, amatis as ritually agreeable to the feelings as the chanting of eeny, meeny, miney, moe.”
In Latin Primer 1 Martha Wilson equips elementary school students (grades 3 and up) with a solid foundation in classical Latin. Newly revised and expanded, this text covers the very basics: vocabulary for everyday concepts like farming, sailing, the human body, constellations, and family; verb and noun endings; and other beginning grammar concepts.
This package is the complete Latin Primer 1 (3rd edition). It’s everything you need to learn (or teach) beginning Latin.
