”At painful times, when composition is impossible and reading is not enough, grammars and dictionaries are excellent for distraction.” – Elizabeth Barrett-Browning
Grammars & Courses
- Latin for Beginners by Benjamin D’Ooge (& Answer Key) *
- Wheelock’s Latin
by Frederic Wheelock
- Gildersleeve’s Latin Grammar by Basil Gildersleeve *
- New Latin Grammar by Charles E. Bennett *
My personal favourite. The ‘Word Formation’ chapter is useful for anyone coining mock-Latin. - Rudiments of the Latin Tongue by Thomas Ruddiman *
- Nova sermonis latini palaestra by Arcadius Avellanus *
- Familia Romana (Lingua Latina)
by Hans Henning Ørberg
Probably the best language book ever written. A brilliant example of the natural method. - Latin by the Natural Method by William Most *
A different approach to Ørberg; not as effective, in my opinion, but interesting nevertheless. - Adler’s Grammar (from Latinum.co.uk)*
- Ahn’s First Latin Course & Answer Key
- Ahn’s Second Latin Course & Answer Key
