Is Latin a dead language? Certainly not with Assimil, which will make you discover a very, very lively and humorous Latin in the 101 lessons of this very special course!
Cicero, Plautus, and Caesar will also be present through their writings and will introduce you to the classical texts without any difficulty.
Without unnecessary gadgets, at the rate of half an hour of study each day, you will learn Latin as you learned to speak your mother tongue as a child: through daily contact with the language, its vocabulary and grammar, introduced gradually, without "rote" or off-putting grammatical exercises.
This learning of Latin is done in two phases:
- First, you will simply repeat and understand: this is the passive phase.
- Then, when we tell you to, you will move on to the active phase where, as you continue to progress, you will begin to form your sentences.
Assimilating Latin will take about five months. However, you will be able to manage after two months. The level reached will be that of fluent conversation in lively Latin, allowing you to read the immortal texts of the Great Rome.
The recordings contained in this set have been carefully produced at a progressive pace by professionals. They include the complete Latin text of the lessons and exercises of the book.
