Do you want to learn Latin? In that case, you've come to the right place! Maybe you have already formed a vague idea of what the learning process will imply, and maybe it scares you off a bit. You see, when it comes to learning a new language we are ALL in the same game, and yet most people don't realize it. Most people don't even take the time to think HOW they can speed up the entire process, and just dive into it extempore. Most people don't know what the right way to learning a language is... That's precisely why all the aspiring language speakers so desperately need the RIGHT system first! They aren't learning the right way, they chunking things here and there. And so I did, back before I was introduced to the proper language learning strategies. It took me time to learn those strategies. It took me a lot of time and effort to incorporate the secrets that would ultimately shape my entire language learning process! And now, I'm willing to share those secrets with you.
I wrote this book for a reason. I wrote this book to show you HOW you can learn Latin FASTER than you ever thought possible. I wrote it to show you how you can set apart from the average path and go the whole way instead. You see, I may not know you, but I certainly know something about you: both you and me are alike. Whether you are just starting to get in touch the Latin language, or even if you have already started practicing it, I know you don't settle for average learning methods. I know you want something better. You won't stop until you fully grasp its essence. Until you fully grasp the path of simplicity. You won't stop until you truly achieve all you can achieve. And guess what? That's precisely what we will go for on this book!
Hey, I'm not saying you should throw away all the stuff you have already incorporated. You don't have to do that, trust me. My approach to language learning is different. I'm a modern person. I'm aware of the world we live in, and I don't want to turn things upside down, and I guess neither do you. So, don't worry! I've got you covered. We'll go through the right strategies and we will APPLY them into our daily modern lives. Because that's what's all about, isn't it? It's about improving our lives. Improving our focus. Improving our happiness. Finding our way to increased productivity. I'm glad to be here to share this amazing journey with you!
My goal is simple. I will help you incorporate the right strategies to learn Latin FAST. I will help you simplify your path to learning a new tongue. Sounds too difficult? It's not. I will show you how. I will take you through a step by step guide where you simply can't get lost! Together, we will go to the roots of Language and you will end up learning Latin in NO TIME!

I found a lot of typographical errors in this book, especially in the sections on verb tenses, that could be confusing to a beginning Latin student. It certainly is not good to start out learning the incorrect form of a verb and then have to relearn it later on! Thankfully, I know enough Latin that I was able to recognize the errors in this book, but one who knows no Latin at all might learn some incorrect verb conjugations if they were to rely on this book. Please get a better Latin book than this one if you are serious about learning Latin correctly. Begin with the "Practice makes perfect" series or "Wheelock's Latin," both of which are two excellent books from which to learn the Latin language.
I gave the book two stars because there is some interesting cultural information in the second half of the book.
Face it, you're not going to learn Latin or any other language in 7 days. But if you want a quick overview to become familiar with the language, this is a helpful starting point.
