Second Form Latin Student Text, Second Edition

The 9.5×7 inch Second Form Latin Student Text, Second Edition is small, concise, and unintimidating, with 31 two-page lessons on uncluttered facing pages in an attractive two-color format. It offers a systematic presentation of grammar in five logical units and includes appendices with English grammar, prayers, conversational Latin, a vocabulary index, and more.

After finishing Second Form, the student will have mastered:

• Six indicative active and three indicative passive tenses of all four verb conjugations
• Five noun declensions, including -er/-ir nouns and i-stem nouns
• Adjectives in three declensions
• Personal pronouns
• Prepositions
• 365 vocabulary words (185 in First Form, and another 180 new words in Second Form)

120 pages.

Second Form Latin continues the journey of Latin grammar. Building on what the student learned the previous year, Second Form reviews all material in First Form, completes the verb paradigms for all four conjugations in the indicative active and passive, and much more! Once they have finished Second Form, students will have crossed the halfway mark on their Latin journey! Second Form employs the identical format of First Form—an attractive, concise Student Text, systematic presentation in five units, extensive Workbook exercises, and a Teacher Manual with everything you need to successfully teach this course.

Based on twenty years of teaching experience, the revolutionary “grammar-first” First Form Series will be your guide as you and your students successfully climb the mountain of Latin Grammar all the way to the top! The uniqueness of the First Form Series lies in two features: (1) Commitment to the trivium model of teaching grammar systematically in order to facilitate retention and understanding, rather than topically, to facilitate translation; and (2) Extensive workbook exercises to ensure skills mastery and rapid recognition of inflected forms.
