Pullins Co., 2008 A Must For Every Playwright As a memeber of the Guild, I get this every year without cost.

Pullins Co., 2007 Chapter by chapter hand holding through the direct method THANK YOU. I received this a month ago and I am thrilled. I am self teaching, and this resource is making it so much easier for me to understand and move through the material with confidence I am learning and understanding what I should, chapter by chapter. Many adult self learners and homeschool families have struggled with or passed on Lingua Latina because they do not have access to Latin ...             Lingua Latina: Pars I: Familia Romana5 reviews Hans Orberg Focus Publishing/R. Pullins Co., 2006 Best Latin Primer? Of the ten to fifteen series of Latin Primers I've looked at and taught from, this is the best. The next best is probably Oxford or Cambridge. The problem with Henle and Wheelock is that although one can thoroughly understand grammar, one does not acquire the idiom. I mean idiom as Cardinal Newman in Elementary Education (in Idea of University) describes it. Oerberg best gives you a knack for ...             Reading Course in Homeric Greek: Book 2, 3/e (Reading Course in Homeric Greek)1 review Leslie C. Edwards Focus Publishing/R. Pullins Co., 2007 A useful book - BUT DON'T EXPECT BOOKS FROM THE ILIAD!!! OK, this isn't a detailed review. The book is a nice large (A4) size, ideal for scribbling notes in. It's well laid out, with new vocabulary introduced above each piece of text. There's a useful appendix of Homeric grammar, but be assured you would be better to have a more complete grammar alongside as well. So, in summary, this book does everything it says on the cover, except for one ...             Mater Anserina: Poems in Latin for Children with Audio CD3 reviews Milena Minkova, Terence Tunberg Focus Publishing/R. Pullins Co., 2006 Euge! Matrem Anserinam Amo! -- I Love Mother Goose! This book has 28 familiar Mother Goose rhymes, (e.g.: Mary had a Little Lamb), in both Latin and English. The translations preserve the style, whimsy, and rhythm of the original Mother Goose rhymes. Yet in the translations, there is something new to be gained from the Latin verse; a new perspective on these childhood classics. For the beginner student, there are footnotes at the bottom of ...             Lingua Latina: Part I: Latine Disco: Student's Manual6 reviews Hans H. Orberg Focus Publishing/R. Pullins Co., 2000 The book that made me study Latin This book pulled me into the study of Latin. I read the first two pages at the author's lingua-latina website in Denmark, and was lured by the way it allowed me to read a purely Latin text. It's addictive. The Latine Disco and Exercitia Latina were great additions, as was the CD with MP3s of the chapters being read. Once in a while, the book would subtly pre-introduce something. ...             Lingua Latina: Pars I--Exercitia Latina I12 reviews Hans H. Orberg Focus Publishing/R. Pullins Co., 2005 A great learning technique. Dick and Jane for Latin. Maybe it's me, but I have a hard time learning languages. I learned only one language as a child, rendering me totally and utterly monolinguistic. I've tried learning languages using various methods, but none struck me as particularly effective. So when I found the need to have some familiarity with Latin, I looked at Latin language books and courses, and rejected one after the other as being ...             Moliere: L'Ecole des Femmes, Student Ed.

Pullins Co., 2004 Wonderful Having just finished Book 1, and begun Book 2, I can say without a doubt that it was primarily this text that enabled me to make the progress I have. I have examined both this series, and the Athenaze, and would very much recommend this one, not becuase it is better, per se, but because it is more rewarding. Indeed, I have finished just one year of a language, and can already read one of its most ...             Thucydides Reader1 review Blaise Nagy Focus Publishing/R. Pullins Co., 2005 An excellent way for the Greek student to read Thucydides Thucydides, in my very limited Greek experience, is an author idiosyncratic in his style, difficulties and rewards. For the student of history, political philosophy or Greek prose, Thucydides is a must read. That said, unless one has a staggering command of Greek, tackling a raw passage of Thucydidean Greek can be an especially daunting task. Professor Nagy's reader, the first to cover ...             Cinema for French Conversation, 3rd Edition Anne-Christine Rice Focus Publishing/R. Pullins Co., 2007 great tool for the classroom Nicely organized. I used the book for several movies and shared it with the other French teacher in my department.

Orberg Focus Publishing/R. Pullins Co., 1998 Hans Orberg's Roma Aeterna This book, Vol. II of Hans Orberg's Lingua Latina, along with Volume I, is an excellent text for serious students of Latin, and I recommend it most highly.             Cinéphile: Compositions & Exams (Cinephile)1 review Kerri Conditto Focus Publishing/R. Pullins Co., 2007 Works for high school textbook, too! Conditto has defied the rules of textbooks. She actually has fun and engaging activities for each chapter! It is so rare to find suggestions for communicative activities that have been well thought-out and are interesting. Her vocabulary is also extremely high-frequency, which is rarely found in foreign language textbooks. Finally, she provides so many readings, activities, and grammar ...             Lingua Latina, Part I: Grammatica Latina I Hans H. Orberg Focus Publishing/R.Pullins Co., 2000             Introduction to Latin (Revised and Corrected)1 review Susan Shelmerdine Focus Publishing/R. Pullins Co., 2007 Good introduction I've already taken a year of high school Latin, but I wanted to take more in College, and this is the book my instructor choose. I think the material is presented in a gradual way, and I particularly like the treatment of the cases in the beginning of the book, however, I think it could do for a bit more completeness as far as the exercises go (a few more to use the vocabulary more in context), ...             Reading Course in Homeric Greek: TM/Answer Key (Focus Reprint of original book) Raymond V.
