Latin For Dummies
Earn-lay atin-Lay? No, not that kind of Latin! You can learn true Latin, with conjugations, declensions, and all those extrasyllables - and it's easier than you think. In fact, most people mistakenly think of learning Latin as perhaps the most useless, tedious, and difficult thing to do on earth. They couldn't be more wrong.
Latin For Dummies takes you back for a quick jaunt through the parlance of ancient Rome, as well as discussing theprogress of Latin into church language, and its status today as the"dead" language that lives on in English, Spanish, Italian, and most other Western tongues. Written for those with zero prior knowledge of Latin, this snappy guide puts the basics atyour fingertips and steers clear of the arcane, school marm stereotype of endless declensions and Herculean translations.
Easy-to-understand sections describe:
No dusty tome or other such artifact, Latin For Dummies makes learning fun and brings the language to life by presenting conversations in various Roman settings, as well as providing funfacts and stories about classical life. And if you feel you mayactually have a negative aptitude for the language, don't worry; pronunciations and translations follow every expression, and a helpful mini-dictionary graces the book's last pages.

Designed to introduce and familiarize you with the language rather than make you the next Cicero, Latin for Dummies gives you all the tools you need to work at your own pace to learnas much or as little as you like.
