“Wiley’s Real Latin is an intriguing new addition to the canon of Latin pedagogy that will enthrall students as they discover the wonders of Classic Latin.

“The use of all ancient texts for illustrations of grammar, translation exercises, and longer passages is a real asset–this is the best way for students to learn the Latin language in its own terms and gives good opportunity for exploration of literature, history, and culture along with grammar.” ‒ Erika J. Nesholm, Kenyon College
“Many Latin students have experienced that dreadful letdown, in which they have difficulty with ‘real’ Latin after months of textbook instruction. This book, with its guidance through unchanged Latin passages, offers a practical approach to a demanding language; it will be especially gratifying to students eager to read ancient texts.” ‒ Dustin Heinen, The University of Texas at Arlington
“Wiley’s Real Latin prepares students to read Latin by using real Latin from the start. It features a clear exposition of grammar, cultural background, attractive illustrations, frequent reviews, and helpful ‘Hints’ throughout.” ‒ Barbara Gold, Hamilton College
“Traditional, rigorous, but also fun: experienced Latinists set out Latin as it really is, with clarity and through real Latin written by Romans. The textbook for ab initio teaching.” ‒Calum Maciver, University of Edinburgh
“A most valuable and absorbing guide for students of Latin at all levels: clear exposition, all examples from real Latin authors, biographies and illustrations to provide contexts. Use and enjoy it.” ‒ J.B. Hall, Hildred Carlile Professor of Latin Emeritus, University of London
