Exercitia Latina II: Exercises for Roma Aeterna

I am very keen on these books having been working with ‘Pars I’ for about eight months. I’ve also invested in the ‘Exercitia’ and the ‘Companion’ to both I and II . I’m an autodidact and tend towards perfectionism. I treasure my books and take great care of them. I read a lot. Keeping the books pristine takes continuous attention to detail and concentration BUT I feel this is an intrinsic part of the learning process. After all I’m aiming for perfection in my Latin just because… aren’t I.I received three of the series today. They arrived in separate packages. All three were dog-eared. I probably won’t send them back, as I don’t want to wreck the environment, but I know that I shall be bothered by their condition for a long time. I would NOT have bought these copies from a, bricks and mortar, book shop. This reminds me that one of the other of the series also arrived in such a condition and I kept that. I’ve bought quite a lot of books and have usually preferred to order such that the product was dispatched, etc, byAmazon. I’m thinking of changing this as it looks very much like their standards are slipping. If I were to liken Amazon to an on-line grocery supplier I’d say that it’s worth noting that they are sending bruised fruit more and more often. A bit shoddy really IMHO.If your learning Latin I highly recommend these series. Not dry or stuffy. Engaging.

Indispensable si vous souhaitez poursuivre votre entrainement en latin. Si vous êtes un latiniste pur et dur et que cette langue n'a plus de secret pour vous, vous n'en verrez peut-être pas l'utilité, mais s'exercer avec Hans Orberg n'est pas une corvée, vous prendrez plaisir à travailler (oui oui) votre latin.

excellent outil de travail, bien fait, clair, avec tout ce qu'il faut pour revenir aux origines de notre culture française

Great to test understanding of the new grammar and vocab introduced in each chapter. The best part, though, is without a doubt the written response questions, which are an enormouse help in both improving Latin composition and checking comprehension.

Latin is the base of many languages. This book is easy to read and comprehend. I have been an educator for 40 years, and am using this in tutoring elementary home school children. They find is very easy to use.
