Omschrijving
'Throughout the book, the student receives clear, understandable grammatical explanations … One particularity of this book - one that distinguishes it from other approaches - is that it uses authentic texts. From the beginning, the reader/student is introduced to texts that cannot be found in other textbooks - texts that offer interesting glimpses into life in Rome. … This book - used with the help of a teacher - will certainly serve its purpose well: it conveys the necessary linguistic structures, helps the student acquire reliable proficiency, and provides a many-sided picture of Ancient Roman culture.' Harald Weydt, Pragmatics Reviews
