Disce! An Introductory Latin Course, Volume II [with MyLatinLab Multi-Semester Access + eText Access Code]

By Kenneth F. Kitchell Jr., Thomas Sienkewicz, Thomas J. Sienkewicz

Designed to bring readers to the point where they can read Latin fluently, Disce is an introductory Latin text that combines the best features of both the traditional grammar-translation approach and the reading-based approach, because some grammar is best learned by induction while some is best learned through prior explanations of the grammar. KEY TOPICS: An original, unified story provides controlled introduction to vocabulary and grammar in context while also utilizing orderly and clear grammar explanations in every chapter. It thus combines the grammar approach and the reading-based approach. The guiding principle throughout is what is best for the student and for the particular concepts being studied at any given moment. Additionally, Disce weaves culture throughout the text and stresses the role of Classical culture in the modern world by the many links drawn between Latin and modern languages and between Roman practices and modern culture. Disce is also the first text to be supported by MyLatinLab, bringing the most modern course management and online support to the an ancient language. MARKET: Disce is suitable for adolescents and adults who want to learn Latin.
