[claybizz]

I read once about a classic starter book for people interested in learning some Latin. Does anybody know of it.?

Tks for your prompt jno. I am aware of this book but have read reviews that consider it a bit frivolous and not much of a learning tool.
Tks again for your time.

Thank you Peter. Sounds very sensible, I'll check around for classes.

'Ecce Romani' was the title we used in my 3rd form at school... all about a chap called Caecilius whose wife Scintilla was always preparing dinner...

Also try the Cambridge Latin course- can't remember the exact titles, but were co-written by Maurice Balme and some other bloke. Provided much merriment in class due to the amateur illustrations.
