Decoding Latin Masterclass - Westenberg, Alexander

. .

Résumé :
The centuries-old method of learning Latin used by Queen Elizabeth's tutor to teach her 5 languages in 2 years! Did you know that studying grammar and memorizing vocabulary is not the best way to learn Latin? That most language classes (including modern language classes) WASTE 80% of your time with piecemeal learning and artificial scenarios? It's true. In fact, the so-called 'traditional' way of learning Latin was never meant to be a means of learning, but an academic analysis of the language after you'd already learnt it. Yep, if you've learnt any Latin before, chances are you've literally been learning Latin backwards. That's where Decoding Latin comes in, to give you the exact tools you need to read and understand Latin quickly and effectively, on your own. It takes you through the language easily, like it's your friend, not your foe, and explains the concepts along the way. Here's what this book gives you: ?
