Salvete omnes!
I'm interested in finding two resources for Latin: 1) a comprehensive grammar, and 2) a prose composition workbook (i.e. one with exercises where I can practice writing and not just reading). Just to give you an idea of the level I'm looking for, I'm at a relatively advanced level of Latin, having studied for six years and read many classical authors. That said, I stopped practicing writing in Latin after the third year or so, so my skills in that area definitely need some work. I'm looking for a comprehensive grammar to have as a reference and also to refresh my knowledge. As for prose composition, I currently have digital copies of the "Latin Prose Composition for the Middle Forms of School" by North and Hillard and the accompanying answer key. Does anyone have any thoughts on the quality of this resource or is there anything else you would recommend? Also, what would you recommend as a good comprehensive grammar? Thanks! 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I can't speak for the book you have, but my professor at uni used Bradley's Arnold fr
composition. Granted, the beginning would be remedial for you, but the meat of it would be useful, I think. If it's worth anything, my professor was Harvard/Oxford educated in Classics and specialized in Ciceronian Latin. He's done some commentaries for Cambridge, so I figure his would be a very good recommendation. 1 person has voted this message useful |
