COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Excellent Latin 101 Curriculum submitted by K09Aguilera on July 7, 2017, 12:50pm This course isn't just am interactive study guide like I expected, but rather, it is in and of itself a functioning, live class . Unlike other instructional aides, I didn't have to find other materials to supplement my studies. The instructor is engaging and whole-y committed to teaching Latin. (Even after going through 6 years of higher education in brick and mortar classrooms, Hans-Friedrich Mueller is one my favorite professors, hands down.)

A good approach to the Language submitted by tropology on August 29, 2020, 7:55pm To learn any language you are going to have to do more that watch the video.

I have looked at many Latin texts and curricula and I very much appreciate the order in which he approaches the grammar. (I.e. the sequence in which verb and non patterns are introduced). I know that I'd have understood it a lot better had I followed this sequence when younger.
