\u003cp\u003eThis complete introductory course to the Latin language, suitable for both high school and college students, consists of two volumes, each accompanied by a teacher's manual and students' workbooks. The strategy employed for teaching and learning incorporates the best of both the reading approach and the more abstract grammatical method. The choice of vocabulary in each chapter reflects ancient authors commonly studied for the AP* Latin examinations. There are exercises designed for oral use, as well as a substantial core of more conventional exercises in each chapter. The readings, pictures, and supplementary inserts on cultural information illuminate Roman life, civilization, Roman history, and mythology, as well as the continuing use of Latin after antiquity and its vigorous literary tradition in such periods as the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Each chapter also includes derivatives, the influence of Latin vocabulary on English, and selected proverbs or common Latin sayings.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\u003cbr/\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecial Features\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ethe best of the reading approach and the grammar-translation approach\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eone Latin passage in each chapter that is adapted from post-antique Latin literature\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eeach chapter contains an \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eunadapted\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/i\u003e selection of classical Latin from Neposâ \u003ci\u003eLife of Atticus\u003c/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003etext ends with ten additional \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eunadapted\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/i\u003e selections from the \u003ci\u003eLife of Atticus\u003c/i\u003e for studentsâ transition to authors courses\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eNepos selections accompanied by facing notes and vocabulary\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eclear, concise grammatical explanations\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eabundant exercises, both Latin to English and English to Latin\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eoptional oral exercises\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003evocabulary geared to upper level literature and AP* syllabi\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ereview unit for every three chapters\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ederivative and proverb studies\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ebackground essays on daily life and the culture of post-ancient world\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eessays on the heroes of classical mythology\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eessays connecting the ancient, post-ancient, and modern worlds written by university scholars\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eplentiful full-color illustrations, complement the Latin text of each chapter\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003estudy tips for students\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ethree maps custom-made for \u003ci\u003eLatin for the New Millennium\u003c/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003etimeline of historical and literary events\u003c/ul\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/p\u003e
