Book Reviews of Jenney's First Year Latin
Book Review: A great Latin textbook
Summary: 5 Stars
I have used this textbook when I was taking the first two courses of Latin in my undergraduate career in college. I can fairly say that this textbook has greatly regaled me with my Latin studies with how the book has been structured with five sections. The five sections are as follows: Forms (the way words are spelled), Syntax (how words are used in sentences), Vocabulary (a list of vocabulary), Practice (exercises to put what you learned to a good use), and last but not least, Reading (where you have the chance to translate a short passage/story). This structure enables the reader/student to easily build on what they have learned. The Reading section is where reader/student can understand much of the Latin language of how to read/interpret and how to write in Latin. Latin is a heavy inflected language with 5 declensions and 4 conjugations. There are a lot of endings to internalize in your memory but fortunately, the book makes it a lot easier to understand the inflections by giving a lot of examples and how it is displayed in tables along with fonts and whatnot. If you have purchased a workbook along with this book such as this one First Year Latin Workbook, you will get the most out of Latin by being able to have access to a wide variety of exercises. I have read the new popular kind of Latin textbooks such as Wheelock's Latin Wheelock's Latin (Wheelock's Latin), but I don't like their format/structure as it is not as appealing as the Jenney's First Year Latin textbook with the fact that I am a visual learner. So with the reasons stated above, that's why I think you should purchase the book if you want to be able to enjoy learning Latin and be serious about it as well.
