  • You're homeschooling and want to add Latin without hiring a tutor or drowning in dense textbooks.
  • You've tried other Latin courses and got lost in the pace or the jargon, and need something that actually explains why things work.
  • You want audio support to reinforce what you're reading, so you can learn at your own speed without feeling like you're missing something.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You're looking for a comprehensive reference grammar to keep on your shelf alongside your Aeneid translations.

  • You need a book that pushes you quickly toward reading classical texts; this one prioritises foundations over speed.

About this book

Getting Started with Latin is designed for homeschoolers and self-taught learners who feel intimidated by Latin or find traditional textbooks move too quickly. The book breaks down Latin grammar fundamentals into simple lessons that introduce new words and concepts gradually and systematically. Each lesson includes exercises for immediate application of what you've learned, with an answer key provided for self-checking. The book also includes extensive audio commentary recordings by the author that teach through every lesson and exercise, offering additional instruction and support in one complete resource.
