Cambridge Latin Course 1 Student Study Book

I have been tutoring a very bright boy who is whizzing along through CLC Book One. His parents asked me to give him extra things to do. “Fine”, I thought, “the links to the paralinguistic material on the CLC website will do the trick”. To my horror, they are no longer there. So I have to recommend suitable youtube links. Then I found this book with extra exercises and puzzles. A life saver. I can imagine someone studying on their own will appreciate the structure provided by this little book which will guide them through each stage.

Back in the day (when I was at secondary school in the 1980s) I used "Ecce Romani" course books for Latin . Now my son uses the Cambridge Course Boks at his school, which are excellent. Well structured and comprehensive in their approach to the teaching of Latin in the modern world, and making the subject as relevant as it ever was, with the Student Study Book helping to compound the learning.

I found the beginners book to be quite simple, but it has been an entertaining way to refresh my memory. I am also working through the standard Jones and Sidwell- but have ordered this series in book two just because they make a subject that can be a bit daunting a times very fun and if you want to take a break and just enjoy Latin- these are excellent books.

but the study book didn't help me much.

Bought the book to help my children with their mating studies.Very pleased

To be fair, I am comparing this to the new interactive website Cambridge has put up to accompany its Latin course. Nothing in the world matches that, and I recommend it to classes using all manner of other courses. Even so, I did think this was a bit of a rip-off when it came through the post. I haven't used it once with my students. Indeed, the main function of this review is that it reminds me to put the thing on sale.

Great book.

I bought this with the answer key. The pice is inflated and both leaflet sized folios could easily have been made into one very thin book. Get with the caveat that if you can buy both for around 5 quid then some use can be made
