Over the past 50 years, the Cambridge School Classics project has been refining and developing the world’s leading Latin program, the Cambridge Latin Course. The course immerses students in the language and culture of the Roman Empire, and has them reading Latin from the very first page. Through our digital learning platform, students can access dramatizations of stories, documentaries that enhance the cultural themes, and interactive language activities to check understanding.
As classics enrolment in secondary education declines, educators are grappling with the same questions: how can we show our students that Classics is for everyone, not just an elite group who look and sound a certain way? How do we teach the problematic and uncomfortable truths of antiquity in a way that is sensitive to the diverse backgrounds of the students sitting in front of us? What can we do to build Classics classrooms where every student feels seen and heard? These professional development materials in the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in the Latin Classroom series bring our North American Latin teaching community together through the sharing of initiatives, case studies, lesson ideas, and much more.

Here’s what teachers and learners from around the world are saying about us.
"I use the Cambridge Latin Course and absolutely love it. The stories are interesting (and often funny), and the grammar explanations make sense. There is no other textbook out there with such a wide variety of ancillary materials that are easily available."
"“I see excited children making connections
between Latin and English words. It’s a great
feeling for me to be part of their enthusiasm.”"

I'm constantly saying in reviews, comments, and discussions that 'all books are not for all people'. And this really applies to Latin texts because there are so many circumstances in which people are learning the language. College profs, for example, will want a different text from homeschooling moms. And even homeschooling moms with have different criteria. THE CAMBRIDGE LATIN COURSE is the book I've chosen for my young teens. It's by far the best book I've found for non-self-motivated students. It takes a Whole Language approach that has kids and adults translating Latin right away. Caecilius est pater. (Caecilius is the/a father) **There you are. If you can pronounce Caecilius you have probably done your first translation. Cerberus est canis. **Waa-hoo, you are doing it. Using the drawing and your knowledge of Roman mythology you've probably figured out that the dog in the picture is named after the mythical monster from Hell. MY EXPERIENCES I sat with my kids individually and went over the first chapter. I did so because they'd be putting it off into the next decade if I didn't, and because I wanted to go over the pronunciation. THIS is something not everyone is going to be able to do. I had Latin eons ago and while I don't remember all that much, I have found that I can pronounce most of the words without having to look at the guide. We had so much fun that we've always sit together to cover the material. Sometimes there is a lot of content and the sun demands that we be outside. In those cases we've divided the chapters into halves. I think that's a wise approach as I never want to cover more material that is easily absorbed. The important thing is that we persist. ***Where your experience might vary is if you haven't studied Latin, or studied a language. Since I've muddled through German in high school and Latin in college, I at least understand the principles of conjugation, even if I don't remember the particulars. And what I'm trying to say here is that I can't provide you with any really guidance when it comes to beginning absolutely 'cold'. Other reviews might talk about this. OTHER CONTENT NOTES --there are drawings to keep it interesting --there are sections on Roman life where there are photographs --there are sections on grammar and vocabulary. The grammar sections outline the structure, but this is a book that takes more of a 'whole language' approach. If you want and need more structure there are plenty of books out there to use as a supplement. --the book points out common words in English that are derived from Latin --**there are stories. I LOVE that the stories are frequently funny. Maybe not adult funny, but kid funny. There's a story in the first chapter, for example, where the coquus (cook) falls asleep in the kitchen and the canis jumps up on the table. (Like that could never happen.) Not Cicero, but easy to read. Something kids don't mind reading. ++ Available online! There are sample chapters online that you can look at. In fact, the entire course can be had online. There is a price though, charge yearly. I haven't decided whether to sign us up but I highly recommend you sit down and take a look at the sample chapters to decide if this series is for you. SUMMARY I looked at a variety of Latin texts to use with my kids. I learned from Wheelock and still hold the book in my affections, however the new Wheelock is even less friendly and it's approach is best used by students with a strong academic bent. Other Latin texts and Latin books derived from newspaper 'learn it yourself' series also have uses, but by far this Cambridge System seems the most friendly introduction for those who want to ease into Latin. You start off from the beginning learning about a real guy and his wife, Metella, who lived with their son in Pompeii. The history sections are based on what we know about his profession and his home. With a sort of Whole Language approach you'll start translating right away. An encouraging approach.
I think other readers' reviews sum up accurately most of strengths and some of the defects of this book. I will add a few observations of my own. I am a retired Classics professor. About two years ago, I began teaching Latin to a seven-year-old, meeting him once a week for two hours. At first, I tried to make up my own lessons. Then I bought William Linney's Getting Started with Latin, but I found it unsatisfactory. Then I bought Unit 1 of the Cambridge Latin Course. It was a godsend. We have just finished it and have begun Unit 2. I got so involved with the characters in it, that I cried at the death of Caecilius. Moreover, it is physically a durable book, which remains sturdy after much use. I gave it only four stars because of the following defects. The most serious is that in the first few chapters, the authors repeatedly introduce rare and idiosyncratic words, which are not afterwards repeated. To take one example out of many: on pages 24-5, instead of repeating the words cibus and cena, the authors four times name the food as pavo (peackock), a word that is never used again. Other flaws: the title of Stage 3 (page 35) should be In Foro, not Negotium; and the title of Stage 4 should be Negotium, not In Foro. On pages 88-9, the imperfect and perfect tenses are introduced with representations of a vicious dog attacking characters with whom we are familiar. In the lower left of page 88, the dog seems to be about to tear the throat of the character Clemens. The lesson of the story on page 90 ("pugna") is that if two men are arguing over a debt, the commendable course of action is for the physically stronger to beat up the weaker. In a book whose greatest appeal is that it introduces the student to real people leading typical lives in the Roman Empire, page 106 ("fabula mirabilis") is about a werewolf. (In decades of reading Latin literature I have never encountered belief in werewolves.) Moreover, the story is illustrated with a drawing of a werewolf that that made my skin creep, let alone the skin of a child. Finally, the thief's plea at the bottom of page 152 seems designed to make students question the morality of laws against theft. (I will add that I am a Democrat.) P.S., I have found the Omnibus Workbook that goes with Unit 1 to be worthless.
This is great course for those wanting to learn latin buy building vocabulary and reading skills first. I would not recommend it for those seeking a grammar/classical approach. It is fun and the children learn quickly. The supporting website is quite fun as well.

We received this product in excellent time and it is exactly what we expected
We received this product in excellent time and it is exactly what we expected. As far as rating the actual text goes, we are novices and therefore in no position to judge, however I do like the inclusion of history/culture.
