Henle Latin Grammar

Description

Henle Latin Grammar

Have you ever wondered what Latin books looked like before school texts were dumbed down? Originally published in 1945, the Henle Latin Series teaches Latin the traditional way.  For students who have completed the Forms Series, the Henle Latin Series may be started as early as 8th grade.

In the Henle Series, grammar and syntax are collected into a separate 250-page Grammar Manual, which is used as a handy reference to accompany all four years of Henle. The Henle texts contain all of the exercises and readings.  In the First Year text, a limited vocabulary of 500 words allows students to master grammar without being overwhelmed with a large vocabulary.  Many repetitious Latin phrases and copious exercises produce mastery rather than frustration, and the mixture of Christian and classical content is appealing to students.  Exercises and readings teach Roman and American history, the difference between the pagan and Christian worldviews, and the difference between the virtues of the natural man (of whom the Roman was the greatest type) and the virtues of the Christian man, which are possible only through grace.

Henle Latin Grammar is designed for student use through all four years of Latin study:

Part I introduces forms of nouns, adjectives, adverbs, numerals, pronouns, and verbs; Part II covers syntax.

Humanistic insight and linguistic training are the goals of the Henle Latin Series from Loyola Press, an integrated four-year Latin course. Time-tested and teacher endorsed, this comprehensive program is designed to lead the student systematically through the fundamentals of the language itself and on to an appreciation of selected classic texts.

Designed for student use through multiple years of Latin study: Part I introduces forms of nouns, adjectives, adverbs, numerals, pronouns, and verbs; Part II covers syntax.
