Review: Highly Recommended! - The author of this book has invested a considerable amount of his own time in providing a set of free resources to help people learn Latin. The free course looks quite good, but it is not exactly beginner material. So, as the author suggests, I went back to his book with the intention of returning to the free materials later. I started using the sample Kindle edition of this book and absolutely flew through the lessons in no time, without any frustration. I bought the Kindle edition and I'm still flying through the lessons. In fact, they are so easy that I decided to squeeze out every drop of information by writing all my answers in Latin and in English, and by reading aloud all of the questions and answers. About 30 years ago, I taught myself Italian from the book "La Lingua Italiana Per Stranieri" (The Italian Language for Foreigners). The teaching style is very similar to that used in "Getting Started with Latin". I was speaking Italian comfortably after about three months, and I now speak Italian fluently. I don't expect to become fluent in Latin, but the knowledge I gain from this book will definitely improve my understanding of other languages. I'm also looking forward to reading classics in Latin. Highly Recommended! Review: Excellent for adult learners at home - I changed school when 14 and was due to start Latin but that was too late in my second school. In my 40s I thought I'd give it a go, as I always regretted not learning Latin. I got the Oxford book but the first lesson in that just had far too many words in it and was totally daunting. This one introduces a word at a time and explains it in great detail so you feel you are progressing rapidly. You get a good grounding in one case before moving on to another and the book is excellent at exlaining why you use a particular case, and if a noun has the same ending in different cases how you choose which one it is. The website for the books has all the lessons explained and the examples are worked through. The downloadable classical and ecclesiastical pronunciation guides are excellent, although you do learn latin with an American accent. Now halfway through the book I'm starting to work through the Oxford book as well, but this book helped the Oxford book make sense. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,781 Reviews | ## Images ![Getting Started with Latin: Beginning Latin for Homeschoolers and Self-Taught Students of Any Age - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71IDO9uskfS.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Recommended! *by J***B on 13 March 2018* The author of this book has invested a considerable amount of his own time in providing a set of free resources to help people learn Latin.

This a great deal different from the way I was taught a grammar school. Latin, of course is not entirely a 'dead' language, and I found that some of the hints for pronunciation were not congenial to me. For example to pronounce 'non' like 'known' seems to be quite affected. That is why I have stopped short of giving the book five stars. I should be glad to know if Mr. Linney has produced any more advanced courses. ## Frequently Bought Together - Getting Started with Latin: Beginning Latin for Homeschoolers and Self-Taught Students of Any Age - Latin Verbs: Conjugations QuickStudy Laminated Reference Guide (QuickStudy Academic) (English and Latin Edition) - Wheelock's Latin, 7th Edition (The Wheelock's Latin Series) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fr/products/61729868-getting-started-with-latin-beginning-latin-for-homeschoolers-and-self](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/61729868-getting-started-with-latin-beginning-latin-for-homeschoolers-and-self) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
