First Thousand Words in Latin

Really good book! Very well illustrated and informative

This book is just what the beginner needs, whether a child or a grown-up.

This was a present for my 21 year old son who fancied learning latin. He loved the English one when he was very little so for him ot was the obvious choice. We have all had fun using this book.

Having 'done' Latin at school many years ago and finding the whole 'First 1000 words useful in my subsequent language studies, I have bought the whole series and find them useful as well as entertaining.The Latin version brings a new outlook to Latin and its part in the development of English and other European languages.David C Allan

very good, with a reasonable amount of grammar and vocabulary...fun pictures...perfect for 8-year old grandchild, learning a bit in home "arrest"...

my highschool students wanted to learn some words regarding what they see around themselves and this is a good fit for them. they really like to match the word to the meaning. sort of a down time from regular Latin learning.

It's aimed at kids but I'm 43 and found this book an excellent start for a complete beginner. Highly recommended introduction .

Buy two. Cut out the most relevant 600 or so words. Glue to recipe cards, giving the translation no use in a sentence on the other side. Learn 600 words in about two days.

Los elementos de la vida cotidiana, en latín. Bonitas ilustraciones para enseñar latín al estilo de las lenguas modernas.

Gli ottimi disegni e le pagine tematiche consentono di arricchire il vocabolario facilmente e senza sforzo.Un testo davvero intelligente e ben fatto!

無事イギリスより届きました。絵柄も内容も可愛らしいです。売り切れ状態で何ヶ月も待ちましたが結局手に入らず、また販売されることになってうれしくて早速購入しました。届くのにそれほど時間はかかりませんでした。ラテン語は古い言葉なので新しい単語はないかなと思っていましたが、テレビやその他現代のものについての単語も載っていて驚きました。誰が作っているのでしょう。子供から大人まで、ラテン語を勉強しようと思われる方にお勧めです！

If you have ever sat on your couch with you children looking for the thimble or rabbit in an I Spy book, this is the same kind of fun you can have with this book but in Latin. The book is in a large format with vividly colored and engaging cartoon drawings just like the one on the cover. As the cover illustration also shows, around the margins of the picture are the individual drawings of the objects in the main illlustration with the Latin word beneath. There are many locations illustrated, e.g. a doctor's office, grocery store, an amusement park, etc. each covering a double page spread. There are also pages in the back with illustrations of actions, emotions, opposites, weather, colors, numbers and more. This could be the start of an excellent Latin vocabulary. Many first year Latin classes only aim for a vocabulary of 500 to 700 words. For those who are interested in speaking Latin, there are many vocabulary words (like toothpaste) that will help you know how to tell your little Latinistas, "Agedum, abi et in balneum dentes purga pasta dentaria." [Get going, go the bathroom and brush your teeth with toothpaste.] With some knowledge of Latin, one can spend many fun hours playing Invenio or I Spy. There is even a little anaticula flava or yellow duck hidden on each page. Use your imagination. Play "Ubi est/Ibi est" or "Where is x/There is x". Have fun.

Excellent book! Great combination of fun and learning material with wonderful illustrations!
