I do like Henle Latin. It is an organized and methodical approach to learning Latin. However, it sometimes does not explain certain words or grammar things very well; and you pretty much only learn the words used in the war journals of Caesar and other Roman leaders. Which might be more useful, since that's the majority of Latin literature archaeologists will find. But it is not too helpful with vocabulary if you want to take the National Latin Exam; since the NLE uses everyday words, while Henle teaches you three words for "death" or "kill", five words for "fear", and no words for food, drink (except water), the names of everyday objects (like tables, grass, animals, etc), or other commonly used words. But it is a great introduction to Latin, and this grammar book is extremely helpful. I could dig a lot deeper into Latin.

VERY helpful in Latin studies. I am technically not done with this one until I do Latin 2 but I am done with it for now and that's what matters! XD

A very thorough yet concise stand-alone grammar that serves as the companion to the four-book Henle Latin series. This is a book for beginners or those who want a very good review.

I would read it before Gildersleeve's or Benjamin Kennedy, but I would prefer it to Wheelock.

I will review further with I have the time.

I picked up this basic Latin grammar book to refresh my language skills. I recently started attending Latin Mass at a local Catholic church and need to speak and read in Latin.

The book itself is basic and well organized. Sample sentences are provided and easy to reference declension and noun use is understandable. I appreciated the clear direction. My only complaints are the organization of the book with the verbs being last and the lack of an extended vocabulary section. Otherwise, this is a solid Latin grammar reference and introduction.

Good for the basic rules

Short read if you already have a solid understanding of the basics of Latin. YouTube has great videos to get one started, this gives the absolute foundation. Necessary if one aspires to write or translate English to Latin.
