aeigma latina lingua

I am using this in my seventh grade Latin class. The students are enjoying it and are beginning to understand the cognates in our language. It is a fun reveiw for rusty Latin students also.

Easy Latin Crossword Puzzles

These puzzles really are easy, but provide so much information!!! The Appendices give even more useful information.

Great for learners!

Great for Latin learners or for those who want to go back and brush up their skills. Each puzzle has a word list at the bottom to help with the answers.

Great Fun for Beginning Latin Students

It's so nice to find a supplement that really is easy and can be used by fairly novice Latin students - especially one that is so reasonably priced!!! 50 Crossword puzzles are offered in this volume (with a mix of Latin to English and English to Latin translations) with a list of possible words to choose from at the bottom of each page. (This feature is nice both because it makes it easier for beginning students to choose from a limited vocabulary and because it eliminates confusion about which ending should be used to fit precisely in the crossword.) This is a fun and easy way to practice vocabulary and have a little variety in your Latin studies.

Pandora

"Crossword puzzles" Working the puzzles was fun for me. Crosswords taxed my understanding of latin words. It sort of made me feel how dense i know latin words. At times, I would breeze through easily. Other exercises would make me procrastinate. At all times, the book was fun and challenge. After Crossword Puzzles in Latin, I know i have a richer latin vocabulary. For the minimal price the book is a sort of pandora o understanding. You will never know until you work them out.
